Lost on Paradise (2026) is a science fiction novel by Alan Dean Foster, one of the most prolific and versatile writers in the genre, whose career spans more than a hundred novels across original fiction and some of the most celebrated media tie-ins in science fiction history, including novelizations of Star Wars, Alien, and the Transformers franchise. The novel follows Jonos and Liina, a pair of scavengers eking out a desperate existence on a bleak, overcrowded, and dystopian future Earth, who manage to escape to a world known as Paradise — a verdant, harmonious planet shared by three species: the technologically sophisticated Eiquan, the agrarian Lusanata, and humanity. Foster constructs an appealing utopian premise only to systematically dismantle it: driven to Paradise by a criminal act that forecloses any return, Jonos and Liina arrive to discover that the world they had dreamed of bears little resemblance to the reality awaiting them, and the novel pivots into the kind of propulsive, morally textured adventure narrative at which Foster has always excelled.
