Produktbeschreibung
A society of human-like beings called tetrapeds dwell under the ocean floor in a dystopian but sophisticated society with a caste system. Claiming to know what's good for the country of Pelagia, the government is an alliance of corporations who tolerate no dissent. When a group of citizens concerned about their polluted environment is deemed treasonous, they are targeted for elimination. Landley, a member of the lower caste is among the targeted after her cavemate is murdered. Her heartthrob detective discovers the plan and informs the professor who leads the group. They discover and escape to a legendary Lost Sea where the story begins. The reader will be kept in suspense as the group struggles with the challenges of surviving in a primitive environment, living in fear of the likely discovery of their location, dissent among their ranks, and an encounter with an existing advanced society in the Lost Sea, which may or may not be accommodating to them. Their allies who remained in Pelagia risk their lives by delivering supplies and keeping their ears tuned to hints that the new CEO might decide to drill to search for the Lost Sea. The pristine nature of the environment in which the colonists live fails to compensate for the constant tension about their future.
Autorenporträt
Eloise Hamann loves to imagine and longs to live in a world filled with justice and fun puzzles. Her passion for puzzles led to becoming a mathematician. Her passion for imagining and justice led her to become a writer and political activist after retiring from San Jose State University. As an academic, she wrote professional articles, contributed to newsletters, drafted memos on behalf of better education and university policies. One of her memos gave her the reputation of being the poet in the Mathematics Department. As a political activist, she penned flyers and brochures advocating for causes. As a volunteer for Child Protective Services, she wrote the short story, The Foster Princess. She recently published an e-version. She began her encounter with the publishing world by championing the work of her late award-winning poet son, Shannon and cried with joy when his collection of poetry, Deathdoubledactyl won publication by Pavement Saw Press. She independently published his novel, Brad Pitt Won't Leave Me Alone. Eloise describes her first novel, Inhabited, as Stephen King teams up with Garrison Keillor. Her poetry and short stories have been published in four anthologies: Tides, Beyond the Window- Las Positas College Literary Anthology, Captivate Audiences to Create Loyal Fans, and Glimpses. Eloise intends her latest novel, Lower World to be the first novel of a trilogy.
