GIVEAWAY: Carlyle Clark's The Apocalypse Gene


(2011-10-24)

GIVEAWAY: SFFWorld member Carlyle Clark has kindly offered two paperback and two e-versions (Kindle or PDF) of his co-authored YA Dystopian Urban Fantasy, The Apocalypse Gene, for members.

Global pandemic is raging.

Olivya Wright-Ono's once loving home has been converted to a hospice for the dying.  Her ability to see auras forces her to witness, with agonizing detail, the vibrant colors of life consumed by malignancy. 

The beautiful and troubled, Mikah, is an elite Empath in the ancient Kindred clan, led by the brooding, ever-morphing, monster named Prime. Mikah has learned a terrible truth . . . the plague is linked to Kindred origins. 

When Olivya sees evidence of disease creeping into her mother's aura, she has no one to turn to but Mikah. Can he unearth the Kindred secrets and find a cure?  Can she trust this boy whose power allows him to manipulate her very emotions? With her mother's life, and that of the world, in the balance, Olivya and Mikah embark on a quest to stop the Pandemic, only to discover it is far, far more than a mere disease . .
 

 

 " ...a wildly imaginative young-adult apocalyptic thriller that also utilizes elements of science fiction, fantasy, folklore, mythology and romance...the well-choreographed, thematically powerful conclusion, coupled with the deeply developed characters of Olivya and Mikah, make this a memorable read."--Kirkus

"With its snappy, razor-sharp dialogue and wildly vivid imagery, the book, while geared toward young adults, has plenty for adults to enjoy as well."--Foreword

All members are eligible.

WHAT TO DO: PM Carlyle using the SFFWorld Forum Personal Messaging system, with your name.

The contest starts now and will run until 11.59 GMT Tuesday November 15th 2011.

Carlyle will contact the winners through the same way after that time.

Best of luck!
