Salvation Earth. A Sci-Fi. Novel by A. K. Boswell Arran kills his
own father to save him from a painful death. Arran is plagued with
guilt for a long time. The novel begins with the impression that it
is set in medieval times but gradually becomes apparent that it is
in the future. A future after world war three. OK, the setting
itself is not original, but has been kept close to plausibility
rather than outright fantasy. Everything is controlled by four big
corporations living in orbit, nation states have gone. The leading
characters are a tribe of samurai like warriors living
self-sufficiently in a wasteland. A local baron and his bully
soldiers, northern warlike tribes and alien descendants. Corporate
agents, believed to be gods, coerce northern tribes to steal food
and lay waste to the land starting a war. The corporations intend
to clear the earth of all life and start again. With the help of a
wizard, our hero finds himself in orbit. Nothing is what it seems.
But with additional help from an android and robots, he discovers a
deeper plot to destroy all humanity. With corporate police, mind
influencing thought police, AI computer, an enchanted sword and a
fight in a virtual world Arran has his hands full. The sword turns
out to be an alien device that inserts a virus into the system.
Background. The planet had become almost uninhabitable. The
corporations had been building space stations in orbit and
evacuated all their people from the surface to continue to expand
in space. Planet Earth was left to decay. Many generations later
saw the survivors with a medieval economy and low life expectancy
due to radiation poisoning. Life as we know it had changed beyond
all recognition. The primitive people that we follow discover they
have multiple problems. On gaining a foothold on the orbitals,
their gains began to be reversed by the Thought Police who could
manipulate emotions. No one knew who was on whose side. All
communications by corporate leaders based on the moon, were carried
out in virtual reality. The purpose of this was to cut time and
travel between the stations. The virtual reality was originally
constructed because life in space was depressing. They could walk
on a green Earth and feel the wind in virtual. This was so popular
that all, important conferences were carried out in virtual and a
whole world created. Before total control was gained, our hero had
to enter the virtual world and defeat the corporate leaders. This
was a new and strange world where anything was possible. Giving
rise, to a series of unusual events. On the final defeat of the
corporations our hero finally discovers an alien threat that had
been getting closer and closer. Adventure and surprise. A
fast-paced, evocative and imaginative novel following the struggles
of a dynamic cast of characters as they navigate an intriguing and
well-constructed plot

What’s your myth?
Penelope Weaver has spent her whole life preparing to attend
Anaximander’s Academy, where students learn how to bring to life the
stories of Greek mythology as well as discover the Greek god whose
principles they most embody. Penelope knows she’s an Athena—all smart,
practical, and rule-following girls who take part in stories that
matter are Athenas.
But when Penelope and her twin brother Paris arrive at Anaximander’s,
it appears fate has other plans. Penelope isn’t placed with Athena but
with students who are anything but practical and who prefer parties to
rules. And that’s just the beginning. She’s given the world’s worst
muse, her assigned tasks feel impossible, and the magic of
Anaximander’s is overwhelming. Not to mention, there are two very
different boys making her new life even more confusing.
But as things go from bad to dangerously worse, one thing becomes
clear: in a world where everything is fated to happen a certain way,
some stories need to be rewritten. As the world around her shifts and
cracks, Penelope is asked to forget everything she thought she knew to
help create a better story…even if that changes every plan and breaks
every rule.
