Triptych (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Part District 9, part Lost in Translation, part Stranger in a Strange Land. Kalp is a widower, burdened with an unimaginable grief, who escaped his dying world with nothing but his own life and a half-finished toy for a child that will now never be born. Gwen is a language expert covertly recruited for a United Nations initiative to integrate a ship-full of alien refugees into life on Earth. She becomes Kalp's teammate and lifeline. Basil is the engineer who lives with, and loves them both. But he has no idea how to defend his new relationship against the ire and condemnation of a violently intolerant world. TRIPTYCH is a poignant, character-driven science-fiction story about tolerance, love, loss, and the desperate attempt to find connection in a world that no longer makes sense.

Autor

J.M. is an author, screenwriter, and lapsed academic. With an MA in Communications and Culture, she's appeared in podcasts, documentaries, and on radio and television to discuss all things geeky through the lens of academia. She also has an addiction to scarves, Doctor Who, and tea, which may or may not all be related. Her life's ambition is to have stepped foot on every continent (only 3 left!)

J.M.'s also a professionally trained actor who takes absolute delight in weird stories, over the top performances, and quirky characters. She's played everything from Marmee to the Red Queen, Jane Eyre to Annie, and dozens of strange creatures and earnest heroines as a voice actor.

Her debut novel TRIPTYCH was nominated for two Lambda Literary Awards, won the San Francisco Book Festival award for SF/F, was nominated for a 2011 CBC Bookie, was named one of The Advocate's Best Overlooked Books of 2011, and garnered both a starred review and a place among the Best Books of 2011 from Publishers Weekly.
