Book Description
The story depicts the simple yet complex undercurrents in a mother-daughter relationship, as the daughter may kill even her father to restore her mother's honour. The main characters are Amaya, a lawyer; her daughter Supriya (Poornima), a neurologist and her father, Karan, a medical researcher. Amaya's search for her daughter, kidnapped by her father, Supriya's psychic quest for her mother separated at birth, and Karan's double life constitute the theme. The story portrays Amaya's longing to meet her daughter and Supriya's realisation that her father cheated on her mother. It started with an unexpected phone call. Amaya and Supriya continued to communicate; each day brought new revelations. Amaya evolved through Vipassana, finding new realms and meanings in life, overcoming pain, sadness, anxiety and anguish. It created detachment with enlightenment. After twenty-four years of separation, Amaya meets Supriya in prison. The police claimed Supriya killed her father even though she deeply loved him. The murder was to atone for her father's crime against her mother. Every sign of love has an inseparable, unfathomable trace of revenge; no relationship exists without violence. You slay the person you love most.

Panacea Genesis
Author: L. Ana Ellis
Publisher: Fire-Forged Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Mariela Stafford is a vice president at the world’s largest metaverse and pod warehousing company, until she’s demoted by her new boss and replaced by his digital clone. Now the clone wants kill her boss and is blackmailing Mariela to help. In 2115, embedded chips, virtual reality, and the threat of extreme weather have led to a market for businesses that keep a person’s body alive in a habitation pod while the person lives entirely in the metaverse. But not everyone embraces technological advances– a group of people have adopted the tech of 2005 while isolating themselves to resist the temptation of advanced technology. Panacea Corp – the world’s most powerful corporation – connects both worlds through providing the metaverse, the pod warehouses, and the land to the technology resisters. Mariela Stafford, a vice president for Panacea Corp, is demoted after her new boss assigns his digital clone to take over her job. Her boss, the CEO of Panacea Corp, not only gave the clone her job but also told Mariela to train it. Now the clone, in a bid for power, is coercing Mariela to help it kill the CEO. Assisted by Amoco, an eccentric polymath who also works for the corporation, Mariela schemes a way to get rid of the clone. To delete it, they’ll need to recruit a team to access an eighty-year-old server farm in a remote location—which would be a lot easier to do if the records on the location of the server farm hadn’t been lost. This ‘earth’ opera—a tale with all the drama, expansiveness, and varied cast of a space opera, but set on earth—will appeal to anyone who’s ever felt out-of-control of the technology in their lives. Panacea Genesis is book one in the Panacea Trilogy. REVIEWS Source: “Judge, 30th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards.” The pace was full of suspense. This topic will appeal to the Luddites who hate technology as well as Zuckerberg and everyone else who is using technology to its maximum yield. The conflict of the two factions really fuels the story, and this was filled with some fresh twists on technology that took the Matrix and Terminator to new territory [and] also kept focus on humanity. Quite intriguing story. This book has the complexity and scope of a space opera (like the "earth opera" descriptor) combined with the clarity of a Netflix series. The book is beautifully done. I would like to see it on a streaming service. Kudos on a lovely book - sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. Source: 5-star rating by Bookish Overall, Panacea Genesis was a wonderful and gripping sci-fi novel that explored the impact of futuristic technology on people’s everyday lives. Themes included technology, invasion of privacy, family, and deception. Recommended to: lovers of sci-fi novels that ask important questions about the role of technology in our lives.
