I’m pleased to announce that my novel, The Passion of Ivan Rodriguez, is part of the latest offering from Story Bundle. What is a story bundle, you ask?
A curator, in this case Marie Bilodeau, pulls together a group of e-books, ten in this case, around a theme. For $5 (or more if you like), you get 4 of those books; for $20 or more, you get all ten. You can even make a donation to the attached charity (which changes with every bundle).
The theme of this bundle is Never Too Old to Save the World and all of the books feature protagonists who are 40 or older. In my case, two of the 3 main characters are in their forties — by book’s end Ivan Rodriguez is fifty, which doesn’t seem old to me but certainly is compared to most of the teen or young adults often tasked with the job of saving the world.
What’s my novel about?
“After decades of stability, climate stresses, never far from the surface, are bringing droughts, crop failures, and massive storms. The world’s end—avoided once, centuries before—seems likely to succeed the second time.
Scientist Sarah Nahanni has a possible solution, but the math is daunting and the number of mathematicians willing or even able to solve the equations is very small. With the ancient satellites failing and the roads filled with hostile armies, the path to recovery seems lost.
Far to the south, Ivan Rodriguez, an unlikely genius, is on the run from the death squads of his feudal overlords, his head full of fears for his family and mathematical dreams of a better future. He holds the key to Sarah Nahanni’s problem and would help—if only he knew she existed and he could reach her in time.”
And what have people said about it?
“. . . a heady mix of big ideas from across multiple disciplines wrapped up in a fast-paced, thoughtful, and character-rich story.”– Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Oppenheimer Alternative
“This is a book about the future that we create every day of our lives. The Passion of Ivan Rodriguez was a fascinating read, set in a world I recognize all too well from my fears even though it has not yet come to be, with characters that took up residence in my heart and ideas that inspired my thoughts. This novel reminds us recovery and resistance are always difficult, and always possible.”– Kate Heartfield, award-winning author of Alice Payne Rides and The Embroidered Book
“…speculative fiction with soul.” – Publishers Weekly
