SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting #3 - "Interstitial" by Roderick D. Turner
DESCRIPTION:The WCYR Book Club is open to everyone. You don’t have to be a member to jump in\, but you will need to grab a copy of the book we’re reading. \nThis club is all about bringing together authors and writers—it’s a fantastic way to celebrate the written word and dive deeper into the stories our members create. You’ll have about 6-8 weeks to read the novel\, and then we’ll meet up virtually to chat about it. It’s a great chance to ask the author questions and hear all about their publishing journey. \nThe best part? There are no extra fees to be a part of this experience other than buying the book. We can’t wait to read with you! \nBook: Interstitial\nAuthor: Roderick D. Turner\nGenre: Sci-fi\nCost: Ebook: $2.00 Paperback: $11.00\nStore: Amazon Canada \nClick here to register. \nSynopsis:\nA new dark age lurks in the shadows. One young man must face the fate that pursues us and guide our planet through the darkness. Our doom awaits. Are we being watched? The world is more complex than we know. What we see\, touch\, and experience\, just a small part of the reality we inhabit. For most of us\, the infinite layers of existence will manifest rarely\, if at all. A sense of trepidation\, a feeling of being observed\, an unsettling vision of something that is not there. But for some\, a select few\, that larger view of the universe is very real. And dangerous. Sam Carreira is about to discover what it means to exist beyond the physical world. To be present but absent at the same time. To see what most never see. Will he have the strength to battle overwhelming odds and achieve the impossible before it is too late?
