When ten strangers, living the worst moments of their existence, receive a shiny black envelope promising a brand life, how can they say no? Red Rocks is a 80,000-word, science fiction novel that appeals to new adults because of its grappling nature, engaging characters, and primal themes of love and survival.
Josilena has been a thousand different people including a sister, a mother, a conspirator, a prisoner, a run away, a student, an ally, a witness but worst of all she’s been a killer. Now at thirty-two, Josie plays the role of a loving wife and the worlds most-up-and-coming engineer who will do anything to forget her past. However, when a river of broken promises shows up at her doorstep, she’s forced to once again become someone she locked away with her skeletons years ago. Throughout Red Rocks, ten strangers realize how far they will go to save their own lives and the lives of the ones they love. Josilena is just one of ten people who is willing to sacrifice everything to get out of the personal hell she has created. Little does she know that her sacrifice has much more dire consequences than she could ever imagine. Red Rocks will reach new adults as it showcases a unique take on problems many young adults experience such as death, abuse, and drug use. Readers who enjoyed Moving Mars by Greg Bear, Memory Wall by Anthony Doerr, and The Passage by Justin Cronin will likely enjoy Red Rocks as it tackles a dystopian life on Mars in the not so distant future, deals with different character’s perspectives that intertwine into one larger story, and plays with themes of hope and survival. |
