Ok, here's the short and sweet of what's going to come up in this post:
- I'm going to be talking about the IXEOS Trilogy by Jennings Wright, and Jennings herself;
- I'm going to do my best to feature her second book in the trilogy, REBELLION;
- I'm going to present you with an absolutely fabulous giveaway (not provided by me, of course--this pack would break my bank)!
Savvy?
Ok, well, let's talk about the first book, Ixeos, first...
The McClellands are enjoying a lazy summer vacation at the beach when they are lured from our world into Ixeos, an alternate Earth. Finding themselves lost in a maze of tunnels under Paris and surrounded by strangers, they discover that they have been brought to Ixeos for one purpose: to take the planet back from humanoid aliens who have claimed it. With the aid of the tunnels and a mysterious man named Landon, the teens travel the world seeking the key that will allow them to free Darian, the long-imprisoned rebel leader. But the aliens aren’t the only problem on Ixeos — the McClellands have to deal with brutal gangs, desperate junkies, and a world without power, where all the technology is owned by the aliens, and where most of the population has been killed or enslaved. The worst part? There’s no way home.
And now, onto the feature of the blast, BOOK TWO: REBELLION!
With rebel leader Darian free at last, the
humans and outsiders on Ixeos must find a way to join forces and defeat the
Firsts. The problem? All slaves are tracked with GPS, the Firsts are the only
ones with power, and roving gangs hate the rebels just as much as they hate the
aliens. As Darian and the outsiders from Earth travel the globe through the
mysterious tunnels in Paris, they learn that the Firsts are preparing to launch
another wave of biological warfare. With a transporter that will allow the aliens
to target any city, anywhere on the planet, the rebels know they must stop them
at all costs.
As things get more dangerous on Ixeos, the
outsiders find that they’re pushed to their limit. Will they fight for freedom,
no matter the price?
Now that you've seen
Jennings' work, let's take a moment to get to know her better!
Born and raised in Rockledge, Florida, Jennings spent her early
years reading anything she could get her hands on, when she wasn’t spending
time in and on the water. She won a prize in the 6th grade for her science
fiction stories.
Jennings attended the University of the South and the University
of Tampa, graduating with a B.A. in Political Science, and almost enough
credits for B.A.s in both English and History. She spent time over the years
doing various kinds of script doctoring, business writing, editing, and
teaching writing, but mostly having and raising her family, homeschooling her
children, owning and running a business with her husband, and starting a
non-profit to Uganda.
Thanks to a crazy idea called NaNoWriMo, Jennings got back into
creative writing in 2011 and hasn’t stopped since. She’s written four novels
and a screenplay in less than a year, with more ideas on the drawing board. She
currently lives in North Carolina with her husband, also a writer, and two children, and travels
extensively.
