Nemecene: Ripples in the Triverse

by Kaz Lefave, Sylvia McConnell (Editor), Leslie Doyle (Cover)

The time for hiding is over. Twins Keeto and Elize have achieved sufficient mastery in the versal arts to intimidate those who hunt them, and so an unspoken truce brings cautious cooperation between rivals. But Elize remembers everything — the nightmares, the murder, now their faces. With her recovery complete, Keeto drifts without purpose only to lose himself in a secret relationship that threatens the preternatural bond between the siblings. Will his demons ultimately consume him?

In this sixth episode of the Nemecene™ series, layers of deceit form a veneer over an already fractured reality stitched together by the law of cause and effect. Although Earth’s oceans have now returned to their 21st century levels, toxic fog and rising temperatures still quarantine humanity inside air-conditioned and filtered cities. Meanwhile, the Pramam’s obsessive vendetta against the Gadlins has forced the evacuation of Eadonberg and has strained critical alliances.

Fortunately for those climate refugees, a strategic Ministry appointee reestablishes communications with the recently inducted Gadlin leader and facilitates a trade deal for lifesaving technologies from their floating environmental rehabilitation facilities surrounding Esarohlauton, the city where Keeto and Elize now consider home. Zafarian is back and looking to rekindle his friendship with the twins. However, something uncharacteristic about their half-Gadlin genius chumbud raises suspicions as to his real loyalties.

Intent on regaining Keeto and Elize’s trust, Zafarian uses his security clearance as assistant to none other than their otherworldly nemesis and licentious Inner Council member, Sothese, to smuggle them into restricted areas of Ministburg, the luxurious political core of the Unification where he now lives. What they inadvertently discover raises questions about their true origins and exposes a fragile global government desperate to maintain the balance of power while at the mercy of competing factions unconcerned about earthly matters.

Could a new world order be what their not-exactly-human mentors have been training Keeto and Elize for? Siufflah, for one, will be the guiding voice in the wind, reporting through the turbulence and ready to pounce on an opportunity to set things right, as he so judges.

Kaz dreams of a world where people can engage in life-changing immersive experiences that inspire and empower them to think, feel, express, connect, and act in harmony with each other, nature, and our life source, water.

Drawing on her life-long love of design and her overflowing imagination, she crafts engaging stories by connecting the dots between science, art, music, dance, fashion, words, spirit, nature, reason, humanity, darkness, humour, and a curious taste for the as-of-yet inexplicable.

Kaz brings a singular approach to storytelling. She wraps a scene into a soap bubble, floats it out in front of her, plays with it until it feels just right, then dives into the soul of the character whose point of view she wants to express.

[Lauren S · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the third book in the second trilogy of this series. You really need to read the previous books in order to understand what's going on in this book. Manipulation, double and triple crossing, reincarnation, obsession,  observation. It's difficult to keep straight who is trustworthy as all the characters become suspect. This is not a book to be read when distracted.

This series really needs to be read in order because the plot and the characters continue the plot in each and every one. This Nemecene is complicated but worth reading and you have to take your time if you wish to understand it. I would say it is definitely a book with a moral.

Some people may not always be who they say they are... find out if twins Keeto and Elize know who is truly on their side and if their best intentions are true.

I enjoyed the series as a whole and am looking forward to the rest of the series. The scifi elements were really well done and I enjoyed getting to know the characters.
