Description

Till Human Voices Wake Us, by C. S. Johnson, coming 7/31

There is nothing Milo Bishop fears more than the thought that he is going insane.

Having grown up hearing his Uncle Jay’s stories about the strange mermaids, Milo never had a reason to believe they were actually true. But when a near-death experience gives Milo a vision of a mermaid calling to him for help, Milo is forced to test his uncle’s claims. And when he winds up in Rasulka, the mermaid community deep under the southern California seas, the question of his uncle’s sanity is the least of Milo's concerns.

For in the heart of Rasulka, a growing whirlpool in the ocean-sky and the terrarium’s changing climate -- along with a discarded prophecy that says the end will come when humans appear -- all suggest time is of the essence. Along with his uncle, his best friend, Moss, and Eluia, a young mermaid, Milo has only hours to sort through his doubts and insecurities, discover the truth, and overcome unimaginable terrors if he is going to find his way home -- before Rasulka, and everyone in it, is lost forever.

Fans of Dune, Empire of Lies, Fahrenheit 451, and Till We Have Faces will enjoy this science fantasy thriller with a dark psychological twist from author C. S. Johnson.

CS Johnson writes a story that begins with all the vestiges of every day reality and then slips into an otherworldly story of mermaids and science fiction elements. I enjoyed the writing, and particularly the characterization, Johnson employed in this solid story.

I again really love mermaid books and you add scifi to this then you have a real winner. Overall I really enjoyed this book, the plot was great, as was the characters. I hope there's more in this world as i'll read it.

This author is one of my favorites and she writes with so much variety. Not one of her series is close to being like another. She writes with a variety and a understanding of men, women, politics, history, etc. Nothing that Johnson writes is mediocre.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. The thoughts expressed are my own.

Till Human Voices Wake Us is a refreshing new take on the idea of mermaids and insanity. After all, how do you confront the idea that something you thought relegated to children's stories is completely real, and totally different from the way the stories portrayed them? An engaging read that you won't want to put down for one minute, perfect for fantasy and thriller fans alike.
