The Mantle Stirs: Tau Effect: Volume Two - Paperback

by Brian Birkland (Author)

The world is forever changed in The Mantle Stirs following the events of As Oceans Fall. Past, present, and future collide as Andrew races to complete his lifelong mystery of message coils. Mysterious figures overshadow a deadly puzzle spanning decades and touring places like Louisiana, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas, and Wyoming. Lydia and Pasha are there to support Andrew, but who else does he dare to trust? Five distinct timelines interweave as Tau Effect: Volume Two further explores the relationship between Andrew and Lydia, the leading minds involved in the Pacific Abysm crisis, and several newcomers that add flavor and complexity to the ethically-evocative, alternate-present world. Following the tone of As Oceans Fall, The Mantle Stirs carries a distinctly devolving narrative which reflects the increasingly dystopian world.At its core, Tau Effect explores the interconnectivity of the human spirit. However dark a path the characters must walk in their version of the world, key choices and shared moments define them. After all, "Why else would any of this exist? Discovery is the root of the human existence." -Bob, The Mantle Stirs, Chapter 23
