Blurb
Caught in a web of murder and vengeance, Theo must outsmart the Spylady to save her new friends.
Imprisoned in a male appearance, can Nand survive deportation without losing herself?
Forced to leave Eridan after her mental battle with Keith of Rain Forest, Theo travels to Earth Metropolis with SpaceSS agent Jack Finch. When Jack is arrested for murdering his husband, Farren, Theo’s plans for a new future collapse.
To impress Declan, Nand face-changes into her cousin’s appearance on the day of the Face Changer Assembly. But her moment of triumph turns into a nightmare when Keith launches an attack against the Face Changers.
Deported to Gambling Nova, the federal prison, with Ashta and a few Face Changers, will Declan be strong enough to overcome his guilt in order to help Nand keep her male appearance and safeguard Eridan’s future?
Convinced that Farren is still alive, Theo must outsmart the Spylady if she wants to get Jack released from the penitentiary and find Farren’s whereabouts. Yet when Sheer, the Savalwomen leader, orders her to rescue the Face Changers, Theo faces a new challenge: is she ready to return to Gambling Nova? And risk her life?
Today’s post is something a little different; instead of an extract from the book, the author has written about the setting of the novel.
Content
Location:
In Hybrids, there are three main planets where action takes place: Eridan, the most elaborate world, is covered by a living ocean. The Eridanis, its inhabitants, are telepaths, and they can hold their breath underwater for long periods of time. There are garden-islands, scattered around the planet, where people grow vegetables and fruit. Eridanis live either in the deep, in warm shallow seas, in cold, icy regions or on the main archipelago. Most cities are underwater, or sometimes half under and half above the waterline (such as Oniraveen). The dwellings are called bubflats, and they can be aggregated together like thick bubbles. This world has its own calendar and cycle of years. Earth Metropolis, where Jack and Farren live, is a State-Planet that houses the Space Secret Services and many people who seek refuge from other places. Visually, the main city spreads widely; it’s overgrown with plants and covered with a huge dome that protects it from the polluted air outside. This dome supports a spaceport and a huge market. Gambling Nova (or Redland), from where Theo comes, is a desert planet with an elaborate qanat, that is, an underground water irrigation system. Winds blow strongly all night long in Gambling Nova. A gigantic Federal prison is erected in its desert.
