WINNER, 2019 Next Generation Indie Book Awards for INSPIRATIONAL FICTION
How this civilization heroically staves off extinction in the face of the rapid spread of infestation and death lends instruction to today's pandemic plight. The 2019 IndieReader Discovery Awards concur: "The Encore" is "a must-read for those who care about our continued existence."
This is an otherworldly tale of catastrophe, crisis, courage, calling, creation, community, and camaraderie. "The Encore" is as alarming and unnerving as it is inspiring and heartwarming.
A torrent of twists and turns will rivet readers until startling reveals end the ride. This shocker is so gripping, so profound, and so riddled with truth and meaning that no reader can remain unchanged. Nor can the world.
This is a must-read for all aspiring worldbuilders. An unprecedented prescription for personal and planetary transformation governs the action. A new vision for humanity is unveiled. An unparalleled path to unforeseen levels of human potential is demonstrated. The ordinary can indeed achieve the extraordinary.
Many were enthralled by the new modus operandi proposed by Lauren Holmes in her 2001 best seller, "Peak Evolution: Beyond Peak Performance and Peak Experience." "The Encore" reveals how her high-growth, high-achievement technology has evolved into new realms of human possibility 17 years later.
Plot: A planet being xenoformed by hostile extraterrestrials kidnaps a renowned creator of worldbuilders from future Earth to cultivate a legion of lovable breakthrough specialists to save the planet.
In addition to the many other fields of transformation embedded in "The Encore", it is also a visionary ecothriller flagging a very real threat to our survival.

THE ENCORE: A Transformational Thriller by Lauren Holmes (Frontiering):
"The superb writing of this author puts the reader next to Connor Kane now awakening to find himself encased in a see-through membrane material. We are speeding through an ethereal dark tunnel bouncing against the walls and looking ahead for the proverbial light at the end of this tunnel. Action, dark mystery, this page-turner has it all."
