Mauna Kea Rising

“An exciting blend of multiverse and apocalypse played on a tropical stage.”
— Nathan Lowell, Parsec Award winner and creator of the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper

“I love the way Kelly weaves tech details—from sailing and power generation, to aviation and astronomy—into the action. SciFi fans will be very pleased with this read.” — D.J. Ward, author of Seven Wonders of Space Phenomena

“A thoughtful, intelligent tale of loss and resilience. The characters are well developed and relatable. The writing style kept me intrigued and made the book hard to put down.”–Marci, Goodreads Review.

“Offers mystery, intrigue, subtle turnings, narrative twists, and inner reflections that challenge the status quo. Mauna Kea Rising envisions new possibilities, strained relationships, fears, confusion, courage, and curiosity. The story is multidimensional, alive, intriguing, and not over. Read, reflect, engage, and enjoy the ride…” — F. W. Rick Meyers, author of Mystic Travelers: Awakening

“Mauna Kea Rising takes you on a journey! All the characters are interesting, but I loved Hellen because she was strong and was haunted by a secret, she’d kept to herself for years. I was also hooked by the concept of this book: what if a solar storm destroyed the electricity networks, plunging our society into chaos? Moreover, all the hints about the multiverse were quite fascinating, and I’m looking forward to learning more about it in subsequent books.” — Midgard’s Writers

“Kelly does a marvelous job getting into the minds of his characters and portraying appropriate thoughts and actions based on their personalities and motivations. The style of writing makes the book an easy read, but the author peppers the prose with clever turns of phrase and well-chosen metaphors and similes.” — Poseidon’s Scribe
