In the distant future, a wormhole Engineer sent to re-colonize the ruins of Earth and a widowed and battle-scarred Colonial soldier must stop an ancient evil from laying waste to all of humankind.
When the guests at a remote hostel die off one by one, the survivors realize that there is a murderous hypnotist among their ranks, and that they are all under his or her spell.
I liked these opening scenes with their realistic descriptions: a perceptive nurse who detects a cheating patient, a crying nun, and graduation from the nursing program. It’s a great idea to have a "Grey’s Anatomy" for the art of nursing, and Nurse Ray seems like he will be a fun protagonist. Good luck!
What an exciting opening! Elemental magic, an ancient history of Genii, a surfing accident, and an out of body experience. I already find Samantha’s Pop to be an endearing character. I’m also interested in learning more about the villainous grandmother. Good luck to the author!
