The Guide is a science fiction short story, the first in a new collection called Wanderings: Short Fictions & Illusions.
Description of The Guide: The parents of a missing child hire a guide to accompany them on a hike in Olympic National Park, in hopes of finding healing and closure. But the journey raises more questions than it answers.
Kenneth G. Bennett is the author of the sci-fi thriller, EXODUS 2022, and the new short story series: WANDERINGS: SHORT FICTIONS AND ILLUSIONS. Bennett also penned the young adult novels, THE GAIA WARS and BATTLE FOR CASCADIA.
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."
The Guide grabs your attention right away and has an interesting twist. (I even shed a few tears!) This story has Kenneth Bennett's awesome writing style and scenery descriptions that I love! I would definitely recommend it!
