T'saungo: The Awakening

by L.A. Forbes

The universe teeters on the edge of annihilation. An ancient force, T’saungo, devours all in its path, and the last of the Aum-Boquey can no longer stand united. Betrayal weakens their cause, but hope remains—Planet 0, a world of legend, may hold the key to salvation.

Alex Kellan, an ordinary man turned hybrid warrior, must master his newfound abilities while battling the divide between human emotion and Aum-Boquey logic. As allies fall and time runs out, Alex embarks on a perilous quest. The search for Planet 0 has begun—and with it, the final fight for existence.

About the author

I've had a peripatetic existence, by choice. I grew up in Montana, graduated from UW, Seattle in archeology and worked in The Philippines with Asian ceramics dating from the 10th to 19th centuries. From there I travelled independently to Tibet, China, Burma and Vietnam, often seeing places just opened to foreigners.

Next chapter was in southern Utah starting and running a successful business in Moab for seven years. I still love the Colorado Plateau area. From the southwest my husband and I moved to Lesotho, southern Africa and taught small business and HIV/AIDS prevention for two years. We've travelled into Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana, Namibia and all over South Africa.

I've resided in South Africa since 2004. I teach ESL (Cambridge CELTA certificate) and maths, working mostly with rural schools. The intense politics and disparities, coupled with stunning people, make RSA an amazing place to live.

I self-published "Spiral Aloe: Deceit in Lesotho, Africa's Mountain Kingdom", a work of fiction about that beautiful country.
