In 1998, Earth was narrowly missed by a 1 mile wide meteor which
if it had impacted, could have levied a 100,000 megaton blast with terrible
global consequences. Scientists believe that, at any given moment, the
Earth could be minutes away from just such an event. Then what? Sci-Fi
writer D.J. Nold explores just one possibility in her first novel, a science
fiction love story, Raven’s Fate.
Arriving on earth after a meteor crash releases a lethal virus, Major
Raven Nighthunter embarks on a project to participate in the Aiding, a
team that is frantically working toward a cure for the devastating disease.
But she encounters much more than she had planned for when she meets Colonel
Jorden Madwolf. Like metal on metal, they sharpen each other and build
an unforgettable story.
Nold has definitely spent the time and imagination to develop the characters
and the settings, artistically painting them into an enjoyable, action-packed
plot. Nold grabs your attention from the first line with a writing style
that has something of an Andre Norton meets Anne Rice flare.
The plot takes us away from the world we know, yet at its core is something
quite familiar: the challenge to survive at a time when communication,
even with all our technology, is still very difficult. The characters,
although alien in their form, experience the joy, heartache and violence
of cultures clashing. At times, it may take something not quite human
to teach us about our humanity this is the story of Raven’s Fate.
