Come the Eventide by Chris Riker {Book Spotlight}

October 23, 2019 by Leila | Leave a Comment

Come the Eventide by Chris Riker {Book Spotlight}A century has passed since the fall of humanity changed the natural landscape. The oceans are poison, and a fraction of Earth’s magnificent creatures remain. The only surviving humans squabble over limited resources as they cling to a fragile peace. Yet in this bleak landscape hope lives on in Earth’s other intelligent life. It all begins when Septielle, a seven-armed octopod, has a vision of a world restored—a world she will not live to see. Inspired by her vision, a dolphin named Muriel shoulders her mission and enlists any humans who will listen—including Anadare, a young islander with an ax to grind against the oppressive ruling class of tourists turned bureaucrats. An invasion of cannibalistic pirates complicates things as they declare war on a world that rejects them.

As tensions rise to a crescendo, islanders, tourists, and pirates alike must put aside their differences to send Muriel on her greatest journey yet—beyond the sea, beyond form, beyond time itself.

In his first novel, Chris Riker conducts an opus in voce giocoso that grins at the inevitable, but reminds us of the heart that all life shares.

Bedtime is a family affair in our house!! Addy ha Bedtime is a family affair in our house!!

Addy has Gibbs and if I was a betting woman, I would bet that's Artemis by her head.

Jessie is in my bed and again, I would bet Apollo is in my bed too - my bed that is literally a foot away from Addy's bed. 🤣

There is definitely no lack of snuggle buddies around here!
