November 17 – 21, 2014

Cassie Dannacher wakes up in a hospital over 1,000 years into the future after her space capsule is retrieved from space. She soon learns that 600 years prior to her arrival, the earth was struck by a plague, killing over half of the world’s population. Naïve and desperate, Cassie, who longs for home and is having trouble adjusting to the new, dictatorial 31st century government, is comforted by Michael Bennett, the 20-year old lead geneticist at the hospital where she was revived.
But why is Cassie in genetics’ hospital in the first place, and why do several of the people around her seem so familiar, including Travel Carson, the hot and edgy boy she is fated to meet? Soon she discovers there is a sinister answer to all of her questions – and that they want something from Cassie that only she can give.

I was filled with too much turmoil and betrayal to even r

aise my voice. “You should have told

me from the very beginning, Michael. All that talk about

training and career opportunities was a

big lie.”

He bent forward, his eyes aimed at the gray floor as

I watched his back rise with each

breath.

“I’m sorry, Cassie. Until you were told about the proj

ect, we had to keep you from asking

questions we weren’t ready to answer. They were going to wa

it another week, but I couldn’t lie

to you one more minute.”

I folded my arms against my chest and sighed. “I’m being f

orced into doing something I

don’t want to do, and I’ve been manipulated and deceived by peo

ple I thought I could trust.”

“We needed to wait until you were stronger. You were too vu

lnerable.”

“And I’m not vulnerable now? Look at me.” I said, rais

ing my frail arms and letting them

drop limply to the bed.

“We’re all vulnerable. We’re desperate. And we’re running ou

t of time.”

Growing up in San Diego, California, Karri Thompson spent much of her years at the beach, reading novels, tanning, and listening to music. At SDSU, she earned a BA in English, MA in education, and her teaching credential. As a wife, mother, and high-school English teacher, she began writing novels, giving all of the compelling plots and unique characters in her head a home. Victorian literature rocks her socks, and when she’s not writing, jogging, going to concerts, or watching her son play football, she’s reading Dickens.
