I've just finished recording The Encore, a novel by Lauren Holmes. It's an interesting idea - how would you go about solving a global problem where the eco-system is in meltdown?! In The Encore, set a short time in the future, Connor Kane is a man with a certain talent for finding solutions to difficult problems, and has proven his worth helping to save Earth's population and ecosystems from pollution and environmental damage when all appeared to be lost. His talents and achievements had not gone unnoticed by other intelligent lifeforms elsewhere in the universe - other lifeforms also facing an environmental crisis and needing Connors skills!
The Encore is a thought provoking story looking at some philosophical questions, such as what would it take for societal differences to be put aside, what would have to be at stake for all to forget their own prejudices and baggage and work together toward a common goal? What is the most rewarding thing a person can do? Is altruism the ultimate achievement?
Please enjoy a short sample below and head over to Audible from 15th August 2021 if you feel inclined to acquire the book!
