Techno-Legends Teen Book Club
Techno-Legends book club is a mash-up of the science-fiction and fantasy genre. Each month we will read chapters from Amy Capetta’s Once & Future Duology and explore the technology and mythology found within the pages.
We'll be meeting virtually using Zoom. You will be emailed a link and password to attend the Zoom meeting after you register. If you do not have a webcam or microphone, you may still attend.
Books we’ll be reading:
Once & Future
Coming to terms with your identity is always difficult. But for Ari, it just got a whole lot more complicated. Gender-bending royalty, caustic wit, and a galaxy-wide fight for peace and equality all collide in this epic adventure.
When Ari crash-lands on Old Earth and pulls a magic sword from its ancient resting place, she is revealed to be the newest reincarnation of King Arthur. Then she meets Merlin, who has aged backward over the centuries into a teenager, and together they must break the curse that keeps Arthur coming back. Their quest? Defeat the cruel, oppressive government and bring peace and equality to all humankind. No pressure.
Sword in the Stars
Ari Helix may have won her battle against the tyrannical Mercer corporation, but the larger war has just begun. Ari and her cursed wizard Merlin must travel back in time to the unenlightened Middle Ages and steal the King Arthur's Grail -- the very definition of impossible.
It's imperative that the time travelers not skew the timeline and alter the course of history. Coming face to face with the original Arthurian legend could produce a ripple effect that changes everything. Somehow Merlin forgot that the past can be even more dangerous than the future . . .
