The Jakkattu Vector
Listing Details
They came as saviors to a deteriorating Earth. Julip Torne questions whether there is more to life beyond the barren dirt, acidic seas, and toxstorms her people work and die in. Living in poverty on the withering Greenland Human Reservation, she wonders if the alien Mezna goddesses are truly as holy as the temple preaches. Meanwhile, Jakkattu prisoner Sabaal suffers constant torture and heinous medical experiments as Mezna-priest captors seek to unlock the key to her genetic makeup. She escapes captivity but ends up alone on the hostile alien planet of Earth. If she is to survive, she must work with the same Mezna-human hybrids she's loathed her entire life. When humans and Mezna collide, will Sabaal turn out to be the genetic vector the Mezna have been searching for all along, or will she spark the flame that sets a revolution ablaze? "PK Tyler is one of the most intelligent writers in speculative fiction today; her work is filled with imaginative and raw power. Her newly-released novel, The Jakkattu Vector is a conjuror’s masterwork of dystopian fiction, an immersive thrill-ride that is a pleasure to watch unspool with her characters, a plausible future that is both horrifying and real. One click worthy!" -Samuel Peralta "I couldn't put this book down. ... The world that P.K. Tyler creates in the Jakkattu Vector is believable, and I really appreciate her genuine, human voice. To Tyler, people are people, no matter how they look or where they're from, and any reader who welcomes a meditation on what it means to be human should pick up The Jakkattu Vector." -Nathan W.
