Gods Of Gaia: The Bearer Of Hope, is a young adult fantasy that harkens to the world created by Robert E. Howard and drawn by Frank Frazetta. It is written with the language and veracity dispelled by the likes of David Liss (Benjamin Weaver story arcs) and John Connolly (Samuel Johnson?s saga). Add the ideas explored in Vonnegut?s Player Piano and Sirens Of The Titans, and you are starting to build the world of Gaia. What if there was an advanced civilization that lived before us, and now lived amongst us? How would we turn out if we started interbreeding? How would religion aid in creating narratives to dominate the masses? What if those that ruled enjoyed above all else feasting on the flesh of their subjects?Gods Of Gaia: The Bearer Of Hope should tuck neatly into the young adult fantasy fiction catalogue, but challenges its readers to reconceptionalize what the genre is while holding steadfast to the truth of all great fiction, critically thinking about our own place in the world.
