Front cover from the book, Tuath by Susanne Carpenter

Past, present and future must combine forces if they are to avert cataclysm and disaster, which can only signal the demise of civilisation and of the human race.

Sci-fi, fantasy, action and adventure blend with themes taken from Irish mythology (stories of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Fir Bolg, the Book of Invasions) to produce an epic saga of breathtaking proportions by debut author, Susanne Carpenter.

In a future world, many centuries from now, the last remaining inhabitants of Earth exist in a few isolated enclaves located across northern Europe. They have managed to overcome much of the onslaught through a loose alliance, constituted in a Council of Europe. Friction and discord among them is growing however, as resources dwindle and the struggle for survival intensifies.

The Irish enclave has fared better than others, thanks in the main to decisions made in the 21st century (our time), to invest in certain types of research and development. Even they realise, however, that time is running out and the only hope may be to travel back in time, to before the events triggered by volcanic eruptions of the year 2027, in a bid to offset or mitigate the consequences for the future, by introducing the technology that they have developed to an earlier time.

Along the way, they must also overcome fear, suspicion, jealousies, personal animosities, treachery, betrayal and mishaps.

Susanne Carpenter lives and works in Dublin, Ireland. An engineer by profession, Tuath is her debut novel but it is part of an intended trilogy, the second instalment of which, Fianna, is soon to be published and will be formally launched on Thursday, 28 August. Chapters Bookstore in Dublin is the venue and the evening gets underway at 6.30pm.

Tuath and Fianna by Susanne Carpenter are published under the imprint of Aos Sí and are available to buy online, in print and e-book editions.
