Praise for EXODUS 2022: "Bennett, after a neat Dean Koontz-style curtain-raiser, keeps raising the stakes. Deft storytelling and a riptide of action." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Exodus 2022 opens full throttle and never lets up. A fresh, original sci-fi thriller full of unexpected twists and turns. Kept me guessing to the very last page." -- Bob Mayer, New York Times Bestselling Author of the AREA 51 Series.
"I'm not usually a sci-fi thriller enthusiast. But Kenneth G. Bennett has set this on-the-edge-of-your-seat story in the Great Pacific Northwest where I make my home. After reading Exodus 2022, this place will never look quite the same. His best yet." --Rebecca Wells, author of DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA-YA SISTERHOOD and other novels.
Kenneth G. Bennett lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and son and two hyperactive Australian Shepherds.
Publisher's note: THE GAIA WARS series was optioned for film by Identity Films, LA in 2012 and both GAIA and BATTLE have been featured as Top 100 Bestsellers in Teen Literature and Fiction on Amazon. Kirkus Reviews calls THE GAIA WARS "A solid first entry of a promising, imaginative new young-adult fantasy series featuring a well-crafted character."

Wow! This tautly written fable grips the reader from the very first line with a tenor of noir suspense that never lets up. Its professionalism and craft skills mark Kenneth Bennett as a master of the modern short story. As a professor of creative writing, I would recommend it to my students as a brilliant example of a story that lingers in the reader's memory for a long, long while. And as a reader I commend it heartily. Enjoy!
