Our official book website just went up, at tearingthesky.com. This is where we’ll have all the specific information for the book as well as some downloads of the art and press materials. Special thanks go out to web designer extraordinaire Susan Agudo, who really got exactly what we were hoping to achieve with the site, and PR/marketing maven Angela Nibbs who has a knack for knowing the right direction to go. We’re still working on getting some of the key pieces in place, but since we’re very close to the launch of the book, our press release is a just a couple of weeks away, we figured we’d start sharing more about what’s actually going on.
Perhaps more importantly, we’re starting to tell more about the story itself. I’ve updated the Tearing the Sky navigation tab above to lead directly to the new site, but to save you the click, here’s the back of the book summary:
360,000 years into the future, human beings become a civilization of knowledge, equality among Organics and Sentients, and mastery over galactic matter and energy. Yet Stanford student Kale Eritrus can’t choose a major, obsesses about solitary hobbies, and fumbles through conversations with the opposite sex. However, his universe comes to a sudden halt when he discovers that their ultimate civilization is about to be shattered by the final act of the Big Bang: the Big Crunch.
With nothing to hold him back, Kale takes the two women he can’t choose between on an expedition to find out what’s going on. What they uncover on their galaxies-spanning adventure will fundamentally alter what it means to be human, and the depths to which they will descend for what they know in their bones is right.
Hopefully that gets your mind going a bit! More soon.
Cheers,
Jamil
