A population trapped in an endless nightmare reality, manipulated by a shadowy group known only as ‘The Strangers’—This is the scenario of an astounding Science Fiction Neo-Noir, ‘Dark City’, a film that asks some intriguing questions: Are we living in a false reality, totally manipulated by illusion? Are we slaves to our physical perceptions? Is a person no more than the sum of their memories, or are we more than that? Highly recommended.

His Face Is The Sun
by Michelle Jabès Corpora
Tensions run as hot as the Khamsin winds in the great kingdom of Khetara. Rumors of the pharaoh's mysterious illness abound, and with them, murmurs of rebellion grow. Meanwhile, in the quiet desert, a forgotten oracle begins to unfold, setting a dark prophecy into action and drawing together four strangers...
Only together do these four individuals, Princess SITA, a priestess-in-training named NEFF, a farmer's daughter called RAE, and a thief named KARIM have the potential to save the kingdom from destruction. But when the dust has settled, who will sit on the throne of Khetara?
Read His Face Is The Sun as an eaudiobook with no wait time (an ebook is available, wait time may apply). Discover all the great books in Overdrive and Libby.
