Lightmaker – Kevin Elliott 


 

Humans sheltered from the threat of extinction. Now their shelter is a prison.

No one has heard of science. Priests burn books, and save their sharpest daggers for people asking the wrong questions.

Sensible girls stay quiet and become docile wives, but Phos doesn't do sensible. She seeks escape, and questions smoulder inside her. Who created her world, and what lies beyond its walls? Science might have answers but the Church outlawed science thousands of years ago.

A nearby windmill explodes, and Phos explores the ruins. But curiosity breeds danger, and her parents vanish along with her entire school. Now she runs from the priests - to survive she must learn how her world works.

Ask the wrong question and she'll face disaster.

Stay silent and she'll face death.

Biography: With an Irish passport and an English accent, Kevin has worked for weather forecasters, a bunch of politicians, and a range of other jobs. Some of his experiences will surely appear in future writings. A passion for science and the English language mutated into an interest in science fiction, which created his debut anthology, 'Go When the Light Turns Red', and his first novel 'Lightmaker'; both lurking on Amazon. He's appeared in Oxford Writing Circle's anthology 'Love with a Twist', and has spoken at major science fiction conventions, including Worldcon, Eastercon, and FantasyCon. He muses on his blog at kevinelliott.space (Google search for 'Where's My Flipping Tea').
