Shape-shifting energy beings, a universe tethered to Earth, enigmatic cyberattackers, telepathic animals, and diverse people populate Passageways, Book One of The Living World science-fiction series.
A trio of personalities is drawn into a mind-bending adventure: Jeff Hawke left his Cherokee people in North Carolina's mountains to work as a cyber security tech in the state's urban Research Triangle, where he's confronted with the challenge of his life; Tami Graves is investigating cutting edge artificial intelligence for a science magazine; Synon Queen TuMa'Aye Gra'Vay arrives on Earth from the Realm seeking the source of threats to the Synon mission of maintaining humanity's diminishing link to The Living World. Their paths touch, catapulting them into a vortex of hurdles and peril that compel them to confront inner selves and outer forces that threaten catastrophic consequences.
A self-contained story, Passageways sets the stage for the astounding revelations and events of the subsequent entries in The Living World series. Watch for Book Two soon.
