by E. Navsa
GENRE: Sci-fi Fantasy
PUBLICATION DATE: 08/18/2022
DESCRIPTION:
Humankind has all but exhausted all of its options to prevent the catastrophic effects of global warming. The polar ice caps have melted, becoming one with the seas. Glaciers have left gargantuan crevasses in their wake and daily temperatures are at record highs.
Amid the chaos that is unfolding, a mystical orb appears in the Sahara Desert. A rare breed of humanoid creatures that have laid dormant since the Permian Era comes to the fore. It is then that we are introduced to three incredibly different families from opposite ends of the earth. Their struggles to overcome the capitalist trap that caused this infernal meltdown seems too much to bear.
What will this discovery in the Sahara mean for our three families?
More importantly, what does this all mean for humankind as a whole?
Is this the beginning of the end?
Are prophetic visions of Armageddon finally coming to fruition?
Only time will tell in Awal-Lantis: The Merfolks Return!

REVIEWS:
Reviewed by Essien Asian for Readers' Favorite Awal-Lantis:
Ebrahim Navsa takes excerpts from some of the most famous myths of our time and uses them to spin a truly incredible tale. Using the collapse of the global system as a theme is a masterstroke. With global warming and deforestation front burner topics today, there is no better way of awakening the millions of young minds on the planet to the dangers that lie ahead if drastic action is not taken quickly. The characters in the book are well defined as Navsa explains the details of their predicament to perfection. Awal-Lantis is one for all ages, a blend of science and fantasy that only a true genre aficionado will appreciate. This book is as simple as it is impressive. An enthralling piece of work.
