The Y Factor by Darrell Bain and Stephanie Osborn Now a Fictionwise Feature

May 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Twilight Times Books' The Y Factor by Darrell Bain and Stephanie Osborn is now not only number 3 on Fictionwise's list of science fiction best-sellers, it is a Fictionwise Featured Selection on the main page of their website.

The Y Factor is the sequel to Human By Choice, coauthored by Bain and Travis S. Taylor, Osborn's mentor. It is the second book of the Cresperia series.

The series deals with Earth's inadvertent first contact with the alien race of Cresperians, or "Crispies." The Crispies are an ancient civilization, with amazing abilities to tap into the quantum foam of the universe to perform seemingly miraculous feats. Their technology is equally advanced. As their presence is discovered on Earth, a new form of "space race" begins, as nations around the world vie for control of individual Crispies and their technology.

But one American researcher, Mai Trung, makes an important discovery: Crispies are far more delicate than the humans know. More delicate than even the Crispies themselves know. Can she get the word out before irreparable harm is done to the Crispies on Earth? Worse, can she stop the potential disaster from reaching their home world? And what else is out there?

The Y Factor is an exciting, impossible to put down science fiction thriller.
