Description:

Who will survive when the future can only be saved by the past?

A vicious insomnia pandemic devolves into a devastating apocalypse, and humanity teeters on the brink of extinction in the thrilling final installment of the Percivious Trilogy, Escape.

Emerging from the dark side of the moon, the HELIX and its crew embark on a desperate effort to save the last of their species—and ours.

An unexpected alliance forms between humans and the XYZ—Earth’s first intelligent hominid species—to stop the pandemic once and for all. But when unforeseen forces surface, Herriden, captain of the HELIX--which carries the last of the cetacean XYZs—must make an unfathomable choice, if it’s not already too late . . .

Percivious: Escape is an astonishing conclusion to the Percivious Trilogy, in which life as we know it will never be the same.

GUEST POST
Women of the Percivious Trilogy
by J.J. Cook

This season of strong female characters will be dedicated to the dynamic women found in the PERCIVIOUS trilogy. With the release of the trilogy’s conclusion, Percivious Escape, the full cast of characters is now complete. And the timing is perfect to introduce them all.

Of greatest significance is the contrast between the human female characters of Percivious Insomnia and the humanoid female characters found in Percivious Origins. The fascinating portrayal of the female descendants of primates held up against the female descendants of cetaceans is one of the most spectacular and unique facets of the trilogy. One that will leave readers pondering the material long after they have finished the books.

From Black Mirror to The Handmaid’s Tale, there’s no shortage of glorified dystopia in today’s entertainment. But what if instead of dwelling on our deepest fears, we were to shift our cultural lens to focus on the possibility of a more perfect world? How would a kinder, more intelligent evolution of humankind play out? What if altruism were to supersede narcissism and become the driving force of society? And who would take the lead if it were to be achieved?

Join us as we shift our lens to shine a light on some of the most unforgettable female characters found in plausible science fiction today.
