Rex Rising
Book One of Elei’s Chronicles
YA, Science Fiction novel
6th position in the Preditors and Editors Readers’ Poll
in the category of Fantasy and Science Fiction novels published in 2011 (click on the image below to see)
Who is Elei?
In a world where parasites create new human races, Elei leads a peaceful life as an aircar driver — until a mysterious attack on his boss sends him fleeing with a bullet in his side. Pursued for a secret he does not possess and with the fleet at his heels, he has but one thought: to stay alive. His pursuers aren’t inclined to sit down and talk, although that’s not the end of Elei’s troubles. The two powerful parasites inhabiting his body, at a balance until now, choose this moment to bring him down, leaving Elei with no choice but to trust in people he hardly knows in a mad race against time. It won’t be long before he realizes he must find out this deadly secret – a secret that might change the fate of his world and everything he has ever known – or die trying.

Enter Elei’s world – the world of the Seven Islands
In the midst of the ocean, long ago seven islands rose: Ker, Torq, Ert, Aue, Kukno, Ost, and rich Dakru. So wrote Sarpion three hundred years back in his epic “Sarpionia”. The islands rose in a circle with Dakru at their center, and are connected between them and to Dakru with bridges.
Each island is about five hundred square miles, composed of steep central mountain massifs, which are surrounded by lowlands stretching down until they meet the coast. Fresh water springs from the mountains, and the pale daystar traveling the sky produces enough radiation for agaricum crops to feed both races — the Gultur and the other, lower humans.
The Gultur, an all-women race transformed by the main parasite they carry – Regina – rule the Seven Islands with an iron fist, and there are rumors that they are planning a genocide.
Geography
The story unfolds from the capital of the island of Ost, called Sestos, to the central of the Seven Islands, Dakru. Below is the map with all the towns where action takes place in Rex Rising:
Rex Cresting
Book Two of Elei’s Chronicles
Summary:
Still recovering at a hospital on the north coast of Dakru, Elei is convinced that his part in bringing down the Gultur is over. Rex has infected the other race and their dictatorial system is starting to collapse. Not every Gultur, though, has been affected, and on top of that, inside Elei’s body, Rex has matured and goes through another transformation. Elei isn’t sure he can survive Rex’s new strength — but that is the least of his worries, as the Gultur descend on him again.
Rex Equilibrium
Book Three of Elei’s Chronicles
Summary:
A lot has happened since Elei fled his home island with a bullet in his side and the Fleet on his heels. With the help of his friends, he’s managed to disorganize the regime, run by the all-women race of the Gultur, and he’s on a mission to bring peace to the Seven Islands.
As old secrets come to the surface, friendships are forged and betrayals discovered, and a girl, Alendra, has managed to take hold of Elei’s feelings.
With a map that leads underground and the hope of toppling the Gultur regime, Elei and his companions seek a weapon to tip the balance of power. But unrest within the resistance means that this time they are on their own and, as if crossing a world torn by war while keeping Rex under control wasn’t enough, Elei fears that before the end Alendra might break his heart.
Rex Aftermath
Book Four of Elei’s Chronicles
Summary:
There is war on the Seven Islands. Elei and his friends have unlocked the weapons held underground, but the Gultur regime is not so easily put down. Mantis and his ragtag army of kids need all the help they can get. Elei, Kalaes and Alendra return to Artemisia to create a diversion, while Hera, Sacmis and Mantis attack Dakru City, in a final attempt to bring peace. But with a net of betrayal closing around them and Rex set against Regina in a final confrontation, the price might prove too heavy.
A few quasi-scientific notes
Although they may sound like pure fantasy, the parasites described in this novel are based in part on real life parasites. I do not intend to write a diatribe on parasites, neither am I a biologist, so I will just say what I want to say very briefly:
Parasites fascinate me, they are indeed very fantastical creatures. Mostly they cause illnesses and death, but some are useful and we humans have coexisted with them from the beginning of our existence. If you are interested in reading about parasites but don’t want a technical book, I highly recommend the following book:
Parasite Rex, by Carl Zimmer:
In case you are wondering if a parasite can really create a race of women who reproduce by parthenogenesis, i.e. cloning themselves, read about the Wollbachia (http://serc.carleton.edu/microbelife/topics/wolbachia/index.html). If you just type the name in google, you will get plenty of sites.
If you wonder if it is a good idea to control a parasite by introducing another, I admit I don’t have an example – but consider this: in ecology, if a species is introduced in an environment where it has no enemies, it will take over the environment and destroy it. Efforts have been made to control such invasive species by introducing another species. For instance, on the Bat Islands of Costa Rica, rats were introduced by man and completely took over the ecosystem. So, cats were introduced to control them. Now they are reaching a balance. Therefore, I do think that it is a possibility. You can check on the internet about invasive species or assisted dispersion to read more about the topic.
Regarding parasites attracting each other or attracting their hosts, read for instance about the Toxoplasma gondii – parasite we humans often get from cats. Studies have shown that when rats get infected with it, instead of avoiding cats and places cats frequent (marked by cat urine), they actively seek them out. In effect, they seek to be eaten, so that they can pass the parasite to the cats where it will continue its life cycle. Read Parasite Rex mentioned above for many examples of behavior-modifying parasites.
HERA – A novelette set in the world of Rex Rising (about 60 pages long) – FREE!
Who is Hera?
We meet Hera in the opening chapters of Rex Rising. She is one of the main characters and plays an important role in the story. She’s a dynamic girl and I felt her story – the tale of how she decided to get involved in matters that led to her being there in Rex Rising needed to be told.
HERA is available now for free on Amazon US and Smashwords.
Mantis
A short story set in the world of Rex Rising
Before the events in Rex Rising, before Elei met Kalaes and Hera, another boy reached the island of Dakru, and this one was filled with rage. Because the regime took everything from him and he’d make them pay. This is the story of Mantis (whom you will meet in Rex Equilibrium, Book 3 of Elei’s Chronicles, coming out next month).

Glossary
You will find that the terms listed below are taken from (ancient and modern) Greek, Latin, ancient Egyptian, (probable) common Indo-European roots and my own whacked imagination…
GLOSSARY for HERA
General terms:
Gultur: Indo-European for ‘vulture’ – the ‘all-women race ruling the Seven Islands (originally their name had been: Gwen Gultur – the Women-Vultures)

First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Appreciate it!
