Synopsis

Light is currency, light is big business on Gliese 581g. Severum Rivenshear makes a living hunting those who steal it in the form of fireflies, just to have enough light to live by. He works in the icy, perpetually dark hemisphere of Evig Natt where the sun is nothing more than an absent deity. The rest of the world pursues every pleasure beneath a sun that never sleeps.

A feminist organization called O.A.K. attempts to increase planetary rotation to bring light and equality to everyone, rich and poor alike. They are led by three women calling themselves the Orchestrator, The Architect, and the Kontractor. Their actions threaten to cause hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis and to topple the economy that's necessary to support the wars between the hemispheres.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Mark has spent his life as a sociologist, studying conflict on all levels of society. He wrote Hemispheres to sooth our ideological divisiveness, exposing each side's strengths and weaknesses, and understanding our underlying values are more similar than we think, regardless of how we look, act, or vote. An avid reader of science fiction, he takes both its warnings, and opportunities for change, to heart. His previous works have appeared in Exoplanet Magazine and Unrealpolitik. He resides in Florida with his wife and four children.

Athina Paris lives in South Africa but spent her formative years in Mozambique, where she was born and went to school. Years in convents and boarding schools prompted a deep curiosity and the need to liberate her mind, which quickly developed into an avid interest in reading and storytelling and led to a lifelong obsession with the written word and books. By fifteen she had read most of the classics, discovered ancient civilizations and became fascinated with various mythologies; a love she has kept to this day. Raised in a culture where meddling is seen as 'caring', she became a spectator of human nature. Quiet and shy, she preferred recording conduct rather than participating in what she calls familial mass hysteria, and so built a treasure-trove of relationship observations from which she eventually drew backgrounds for the characters in her romantic novels. She studied Interior Design, but soon felt the pull of her dormant talent and turned to Creative Writing, as she realised the significance of those note books packed with ideas. She soon followed it with Scriptwriting. Set in faraway and exotic places, Athina's epic romantic work takes her characters on voyages of self-discovery while dealing with catastrophic love lives and an imperfect world. Her first novel Love & Madness, layered and complex, is the story of a family tested by selfish ambition, misplaced passions and an exploration of the recesses of the human psyche. A stint as a high school English teacher polished her skills. However, she has recently vacated the position to concentrate on her professional goals of writing, editing and proofreading. Athina has joined RockHill Publishing LLC as the Editor-in-Chief and author.
