Produktbeschreibung
INTERWOVEN, the highly anticipated inaugural volume in the Points of Failure series by H.E. Wallace and Roi Qualls, plunges into the post-conflict world of 2275 where humanity faces its starkest choice: escape or perish. With only 85 years remaining before Earth can no longer support human life, the Umoja-19 mission must not fail. When things do not go as planned it falls to Chief Scientist Dr. Tah Morant to figure out why his Deuteron engine has failed and how to fix it. But nothing is as it seems. Dr. Morant's efforts are complicated by personal tensions, childhood trauma, fickle friendships, and brittle intimacies of marriage. To make matters worse, he must steer clear of danger and political intrigue while navigating with a moral compass clouded by corporate bureaucracy and personal vendettas. This isn't merely science fiction; it's a profound odyssey into social and personal transformation, the relentless pursuit of justice, and the deep spiritual metamorphosis required for our very survival. As one reviewer eloquently puts it, INTERWOVEN crafts a "beautifully detailed world," carrying "the exquisitely crafted undertones of Octavia Butler," in its unflinching examination of complex human nature and the intricate cultural structures that persist even after global accord has seemingly abolished war. This painful journey mirrors the caterpillar's radical metamorphosis-a necessary dissolution of the old form for a completely new existence. INTERWOVEN reflects on our complicity, our courage, and the choices we face in shaping what comes next for planet earth. This isn't a dystopian warning or a utopian escape, but a vital call to self-examination and transformation, particularly in the face of the calamities--physical, cultural, spiritual, political--shaping our current reality.
Autorenporträt
Compelling stories have always captured H.E. Wallace's attention. INTERWOVEN, her debut novel, ties together her love for a good story and the dream of writing one. Before becoming a writer, she earned her clinical doctorate for physical therapy and worked as a licensed physical therapist. That role gave her a chance to help people in her community, but left little room for creative expression. In 2020, in a leap of faith, she left her job to start over. The years that followed brought their share of uncertainty and underemployment, but they also sparked a deeper understanding: true transformation-both personal and collective-often begins with spirituality and the arts. Together with her co-author, Roi Qualls, she founded Knowetix to explore these themes. Through their work, they hope to inspire others to grow, create, and build stronger communities.Beyond writing, H.E. Wallace's interests include reading, visual arts; music, audiobooks, and podcasts; threadworks, nature walks, and travel. She currently lives in a seaside Washington town near her mother who was the first to encourage her to write.
