Deadly Awakenings

E L Russell

A Science-Fiction story about the efforts of longtime friends to save a colleague who disappears after discovering the secret to re-programing genetic code.

 

The story is about the discovery and protection of a process used to detect and genetically engineer extremely long-lived people. To complete her research, Dr. Shannon O’Quinn enlists the help of a friend, Dr. Elizabeth Stosak, founder of modern Epigenetics.

Shannon’s private plane crashes returning from a conference. Her body is never recovered raising hopes that she is alive.

Determined to locate and rescue her, friends launch an international search and rescue operation that takes them through several countries as they combat corporate spies and ancient adversaries. They must re-discover the secret genetic process in order to save her life.

Along the way, they realize that they are evolving powerful mental abilities that foreshadow the emergence of a new species, homo evolutis.

A delicious read, with a very strong opening.
You’re writing flows well and you seem at ease with your writing style.
Our characters are first rate and add colour and dimension to your scenes.
A colourful dialogue with a staccato feel, that draws the writing on.
Good ending on your chapters lead you on to reading the next chapter
I enjoyed reading and would recommend.
Well done

Dear Enos

I have read all the uploaded chapters of your new book, "Deadly Awakenings". It is electric: exciting, interesting, unusual, with a great plot. The action moves along very well, and there is plenty keep us hooked. As good, if not better, than your other offering I have read, "Onset". Well done.

This story is coming together nicely. The prologue works well as it tells the reader that something dramatic is about to occur and many lives are in danger. The speeches by Elizabeth and Shannon with the hecklers set up the moral issues and the threats to come. What might add a nice personal touch is if they were trying to cure a relative, or they wanted to make amends for a close relative who died of a disease they believe they can cure.

Typo: “sash on her ROBE”

Try reading dialog out loud to make sure it sounds natural.

This is good work. I will back it.

E L Russell,

I am please to be the first to review your book, but having read only the first chapter.

The first sequence was a little slow until Shannon got skewered with a hypo and died in the cold waters of the lake. The intrigue was heightened with Shannon making a reappearance at the conference - how can this be?

You have a good hook and a good story line that will surely keep the reader engaged. Your writing seems clean and flows easily.

I hope this does well
Regards
Warrick
