The Eyes of Tandor
"Although the Keepers had not planned to revisit the human universe so soon after the last adjustment, this particular sentient species was becoming more and more difficult to guide through the genetic manipulations that had proved so successful in other quantum realities, making more frequent intervention necessary."
In this exciting book, an interstellar conspiracy to control the genetic evolution of various species appears to be unraveling. A species known as the Tandoran has, for millennia, guarded the Plan. Sern, a rebel who does not mind questioning the elders, is not like the other Keepers. Meanwhile, Tess, a human with a chronic illness, has lived for years with the dizzying, sometimes mysterious symptoms of her illness. What neither Tess nor Sern knows is that they are strangely connected, despite the millennia and parallel universe that separate them. However, what it means for both of them is that they must question and defy the systems which have ultimately shaped their identities. Moreover, both Tess and Sern must learn to accept their unique abilities, as well as the strange connection that binds them.
This is an action-packed sci-fi thriller. The narrative is written in a cinematic manner that quickly engages the book's audience. Tess is an inspiring and resilient character—a new kind of heroine for a new age. Additionally, this book dares to tackle social issues like chronic illness—a theme that is still emerging in contemporary literature. Thus, the novel resonates with books like This Delicate Flame and Cosmic Witch. The book is made even more intriguing because it includes a guide to the Tandoran Lexicon, which further immerses the book's audience in the Tandoran world. Seasoned sci-fi literature fans will appreciate the cosmic swirls and tech-driven plot. For those new to the genre, this book is an engaging read that will draw them into an entirely new literary universe.

U.S. Review of Books - Review by Jordan Landsman
Readers will recognize the elements of classic science fiction stories where we are drawn into a world of intrigue that challenges our senses. A dash of real-world political intrigue meshes with a story of how two different civilizations, threatened by politics and greed, see the most unlikely of heroes emerge to save their worlds and open new possibilities that alter the future of the universe.
