“If you like your books to have substance and a bit of a mind twist, this is where you'll get it.”
When Dr. Priya Sengupta is called to the beach to help return a stranded pod of bottlenose dolphins into the Pacific, she can see that something has gone very wrong. What she doesn’t realize is just how wrong… It’s not just the dolphins. It’s bees on the side of the highways. And her friend—also a biodiversity specialist—is seeing some strange happenings with local frogs…on the other side of the country. A call from her grad school frenemy, Alex, is enough to open a larger investigation.
But can two newly minted grads save anything when the Earth itself is the heart of the problem? The last time a global change of this magnitude happened, the dominant species was wiped out. Can Priya and Alex keep humanity from going to way of the dinosaurs? Or is the shift unstoppable? Dissonance is a companion novella to the thriller Resonance.
Dissonance gives a new perspective on the events of Resonance, with new characters and species involved, but still revolving around the magnetic poles shifting, like Resonance. The writing, as one should expect from Scudiere, is flawless, with excellent characters, especially for a novella. The characters rapidly grow new dimensions as the action goes on. Definitely read Resonance first, beyond that, highly recommended for any audience!
If you read Resonance then this is a great after story. If you didn't, this can be stand alone, but it is so much better together. This shows how things ended up for a new couple of scientists, and the adventure they had discovering what Becky and Jordan had just figured out. Definitely a good read!
I really enjoyed this. A great short read that compliments Resonance perfectly. More authors should do this! I found the whole concept fascinating... Read it!
