Teens & Adults Will Love The IXEOS Trilogy
May 30, 2013 | Filled under Adult Fantasy, Science Fiction, YA Fantasy, YA Fiction |
Calling all dystopian adventure fans, we have a treat for you. Take a look at the first book in the The Ixeos Trilogy and our feature book – IXEOS by Jennings Wright. “This story was incredible. It had everything: action, adventure, aliens, a bit of romance (G-rated), and a mysterious hero.” –MKH
A Little About IXEOS:
The McClellands are enjoying summer vacation at the beach when they are lured from into Ixeos, an alternate Earth. Lost in a maze of tunnels under Paris and surrounded by strangers, they discover that they have been brought to Ixeos for one purpose: to take the planet back from humanoid aliens who have claimed it. With the aid of the tunnels and a mysterious man, the teens travel the world seeking the key that will allow them to free Darian, the long-imprisoned rebel leader.
The aliens aren’t the only problem — there are brutal gangs, desperate junkies, and a world where all the technology is owned by the aliens, and where most of the population has been killed or enslaved. The worst part? There’s no way home.
About the Author:
Jennings spent her early years reading anything she could get her hands on. She won a prize in the 6th grade for her science fiction stories. She spent time over the years doing various kinds of business writing, editing, and teaching writing, but mostly having and raising her family, homeschooling her children, owning and running a business with her husband, and starting a non-profit. Thanks to a crazy idea called NaNoWriMo, Jennings got back into creative writing in 2011 and hasn’t stopped since.
What Fans Are Saying About IXEOS:
“This first book of a trilogy kept me enthralled as the characters roamed the surface and tunnels of a world which resembled Earth but wasn’t. Not your typical alien story, this one is believable and finely wrought with political intrigue and hints of the supernatural.” –Rebecca Russell
“I would highly recommend this book if you are a fan of young adult dystopian novels.” –Travis Simmons
