Hey, Everyone!
I am super excited that M.D. Neu dropped by my blog today! Neu is a fellow NineStar Press author and creator of original and engaging content. Like me, he dabbles in the world of speculative fiction. I so enjoy reading his work, and his latest, Mu; Legend of a Lost City, is no exception!
Blurb:
For years, the whispers and legends of a lost city hiding in the Pacific Ocean were just that; legend. On the day Kaimi discovers his parents, the Queen and King of Mu, murdered, Mu’s most powerful weapon fired, sending a pulse rushing towards the North American west coast.
After the 2025 Great Pacific Pulse Event, or Pulse, vomited up much of humankind’s trash in the Pacific Ocean along the North American west coast. The mysterious occurrence causing the largest environmental disaster in human history, people are no longer certain there is nothing concealed in the depths of the ocean. Scientist Karen Linn and billionaire investor Michael Donovan want to find out what actually happened that day five years ago. Will Michael’s life in the adult entertainment industry and Karen’s moniker in pseudoscience keep them as social pariahs, or are they on the cusp of finding a civilization that has been kept out of our grasp, deep in the world’s largest ocean? How does the event from five years ago tie into the murder of the Queen and King of Mu? What lies under the sea may be bigger than anyone can imagine, and neither civilization may be ready for the truth.
My Reaction:
Neu has a knack for creating unique worlds; I love his ability to offer something original. And yet – you fall into his realm with ease and grow comfortable with his characters, even as they experience danger and adventure along the way.
In the case of Mu; Legend of a Lost City, the unique world comes in the form of merpeople and an enchanting underwater city. The danger and adventure match current fears in the world, such as hatred and climate change. And the comfort – Neu is always up for a romance that I’m a sucker for.
The holidays are coming soon – grab a copy to enjoy after Thanksgiving dinner sits in your stomach or as you prepare to decorate or buy presents. This tale offers the perfect escape for some “me time” and can be a fun gift to give!
