The climactic third novel in The Powers That Be trilogy, THE BLUE SPARK, envisions humankind’s destiny through a transformative sacrifice.
THE BLUE SPARK paints a thought-provoking, action-packed vision of a post-invasion dystopian world with humankind on a razor’s edge between science and morality, loyalty and betrayal, hope and despair, courage and fear, evolution and extinction.
A transformative sacrifice seals humankind’s destiny at the end of a celestial path. Sometimes, history repeats.
THE BLUE SPARK picks up the narrative after Book Two, THE LOST SHIP, injecting readers into an all-too-plausible near-future world grappling with a never-ending analog reality amid worldwide chaos and corruption in the wake of a cascade of calamitous supernatural events precipitating a narrowly averted alien invasion.
The 510-page novel introduces the trilogy’s lynchpin, Hannah Haig (Rachel and Owen’s daughter), and a host of intriguing new characters joining the multi-generational cast of human and non-human heroes and villains matching wits through a complexity of interwoven storylines and gripping character arcs, culminating with an against-all-odds celestial sacrifice to preserve humankind’s destiny in a crowded universe.
Notes
While it is the third novel in a trilogy, THE BLUE SPARK is a standalone novel that can be enjoyed out of sequential order. For the optimal reading experience and to get all of the character nuances, backstories, insider knowledge, intrigue, locations, and Easter eggs, readers will then want to go back and pick up the first two books.
