great new sci-fi book with animal rights message

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

The Bay Area is home to author Richard Friar, and he will be signing

copies of his book _The Keepers_ on Friday, August 24th, 7:00 p.m.,

Barnes and Noble in Walnut Creek.

 

If you like science fiction you will love this novel. The author is an

animal rights activist and he weaves the animal/veg message into the plot

in the best of ways--not too heavy-handed, and not in ways you would

expect, either.

 

_The Keepers_ is the first in a trilogy and a new book, so the more support

he gets now means the more this pro-veg book will be marketed to non-veg

folks. Hope to see you there!

Book Description

Global conflict, environmental destruction and corporate greed have

driven the world to the brink of disaster. The lack of decisive change

to bring Earth and humankind back into balance has created the most

radical and terrifying movement ever. Ideologies clash, nations collide

and the battle for transformation threatens the planet with

annihilation. This science fiction epic, the first in a trilogy, tells

the story of a Third World War fought against the mightiest foe of all

time - the dreaded Apex Empire.

 

 

Richard Friar takes his chilling vision of the future, reminiscent of

Huxley, Bradbury and Orwell, and shows us how and why it can happen. In

addition to the social and moral issues Friar addresses in the novel, he

creates and takes us into an elaborate and imaginative world of the

future, complete with complex war machines and technologies. This book

(and hopefully the others in the series) seems tailor-made to become a

movie. My only hope is that some of the important messages that the

author conveys are not lost in the translation.

 

Richard Friar is a very talented young author and I recommend his work

to anyone who likes science fiction and fantasy but who also wants their

books to provide more than just entertainment. An excellent read.
