They'll all be dead in 2 days if they don't get off the planet. Can an experimental starship save their lives? Russell Vaderman was recklessly confident. He'd kept his refugees concealed for so long, he assumed he could ignore the murderous fanatics just beyond his walls. But when the ground shakes beneath his feet and bombers are spotted on radar, he faces a fate more dire than he'd imagined. Afraid to reveal their exact position by firing on the approaching aircraft, he knows doing nothing risks the destruction of their only key to survival. But when a traitor lures the jets directly to their camp and the mountainside quakes with a record-breaking shudder, Russell fears that all options lead to their annihilation. Can Russell get his band of refugees off the planet before they're all blown to bits? Beyond the Pillars of Salt is the standalone sequel to Undue Influences and the prequel to The Meraki Effect. If you love character-driven, dystopian hard science fiction with high stakes and mysterious twists and turns, you'll love Debra Blaine's award-winning tale of humanity's struggle to survive.
Autorenporträt
Debra Blaine is a physician turned author. After thirty-plus years practicing medicine, she concluded that healing the spirit was more important than healing the body. Her hope is that if she can get her readers emotionally involved in her characters, she may make more of a lasting impression, and perhaps some will think about the critical issues she raises from the safety of entertainment, and simply hearing a story they might resonate with. To that end, she writes thrillers and dystopian fiction.Blaine was born in New York City and grew up on Long Island, NY. She always had a passion for the humanities, and received her BA in the Plan II Honors Humanities Program at the University of Texas at Austin before attending Temple University for graduate studies in Comparative Religion. She ultimately changed paths, and pivoted to Baylor College of Medicine to earn her MD in 1987 before returning to New York for post-graduate training, and then practiced Family and Urgent Care medicine on Long Island and Queens for over thirty years.She began writing novels in 2017, and Beyond the Pillars of Salt is her third publication. All revolve around the deleterious effects that corporate greed has on our society and in shaping the current value system in our country.
