The Y Factor, Second Book of the Award-Winning Cresperian Saga, Now In PrintThe second book in the series of Cresperian novels begun by Darrell Bain and Dr. Travis S. Taylor, and continued by Bain and Taylor's protege, Stephanie Osborn, has been released in trade paperback format by Twilight Times Books.
Jan. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- EPPIE Award finalist, The Y Factor, co-authored by Darrell Bain and Stephanie Osborn, is now available in print.
Osborn's mentor, Travis "Doc" Taylor, and Bain co-authored the Dream Realm Award-winning first novel of the Cresperia series, Human By Choice, published by Twilight Times Books. The series concerns the first contact between the pacifistic natives of Cresperia, whose planetary government is a loose political anarchy, and the inhabitants of Earth. The Cresperians have a unique ability to tap into the quantum foam, not only to read general impressions of events, situations, and emotions, but to manipulate certain aspects of their reality - up to and including their own forms and the forms of humans for whom they care. This ability to manipulate the humans includes healing and delaying aging, both highly desired abilities, making them valuable "commodities." The Y Factor picks up where Human By Choice leaves off, with the international race to obtain Crispies and Crispy technology. But there's a catch. Crispies are delicately balanced creatures, and not all of the nations after them - good OR bad - understand just HOW delicate. Can they even survive, let alone thrive, on Earth? And what if more Crispies come? What happens then? And who - or what - else is out there?
