Today I wanted to do something a little different today and take a moment to give a quick shout out to two awesome writers who, I feel, deserve a little attention today. I recently entered into a giveaway being done by the talented and lovely Blodeuedd and won a free audio copy of "Children of the Different" by S.C. Flynn. With that said, I wanted to give a quick breakdown of what this book promises to be.
=========================================
Publisher's Summary
Nineteen years ago, a brain disease known as the Great
Madness killed most of the world's population. The survivors all had
something different about their minds. Now, at the start of adolescence,
their children enter a trance-like state known as the Changeland and
emerge either with special mental powers or as cannibalistic Ferals.
In the great forest of South West Australia, 13-year-old Arika and her twin brother Narrah go through the Changeland. They encounter an enemy known as the Anteater who feeds on human life. He exists both in the Changeland and in the outside world, and he wants the twins dead.
After their Changings, the twins have powers that let them fight their enemy and face their destiny on a long journey to an abandoned American military base on the northwest coast of Australia...if they can reach it before time runs out.
Children of the Different is a post-apocalyptic fantasy novel set among the varied landscapes and wildlife of Western Australia.

Once again, I was given this opportunity to win by the talented Blodeuedd who I'd encourage you to check out at her website http://books-forlife.blogspot.com/ if you don't already visit her. She does wonderful reviews and highlights of a wide range of different books. Check it out and I bet you'll find something that might tickle you fancy.
With that said, thanks for dropping in and I promise to deliver more Xenophobia soon. I just didn't think it was right to accept such a gift without a little turn around to those that were kind enough to provide it. See you tomorrow~

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea for a story. And in audio too. I'm beginning to enjoy listening to stories. Thanks for telling us about the book.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That sounds like an interesting premise. I don't know what it is about diseases that wipe out the entire population that fascinates me. The Stand is still my all-time favorite Stephen King book.
