Blog Tour Ixeos Rebellion by Jennings Wright

iXEOS R copy

  ixeos reb

With rebel leader Darian free at last, the humans and outsiders on Ixeos must find a way to join forces and defeat the Firsts. The problem? All slaves are tracked with GPS, the Firsts are the only ones with power, and roving gangs hate the rebels just as much as they hate the aliens. As Darian and the outsiders from Earth travel the globe through the mysterious tunnels in Paris, they learn that the Firsts are preparing to launch another wave of biological warfare. With a transporter that will allow the aliens to target any city, anywhere on the planet, the rebels know they must stop them at all costs. As things get more dangerous on Ixeos, the outsiders find that they're pushed to their limit. Will they fight for freedom, no matter the price?

Excerpt

Clay was lying in the old bed, his hands under his head, staring at the ceiling. He was exhausted, almost overly so. He was having a hard time settling down. Riley seemed restless, too.
“You awake?” Clay asked.
“Yep. Unfortunately.”
“What happens if Marty really does get the satellites disabled or out of orbit or whatever? I mean, where will be put all those people? Look what happened today, and it was just one little girl.”
“I guess it would be like the raid. We’d have to tell people ahead, give them enough time to prepare. Obviously, the Firsts aren’t going to let them go that easily. They’d kill them in a heartbeat… It’s all going to have to be timed to have the least amount of casualties.”
“Casualties. You mean deaths.” Clay sighed. He was twenty years old. He’d been a typical beach bum back in North Carolina. His transition to a soldier had been from necessity, not temperament.
“Yeah, deaths. We have to trust that Darian will come up with a plan for them. After all, it’s his army we’ll be setting free. He obviously cares about them surviving at least as much as we do.”
“True,” Clay said. After a moment he asked, “Is he one of them? I mean, they think he is. But clearly Landon isn’t human, and Darian is his son. And Darian is the only human from this planet who can use the portals. So…” He didn’t finish the question. 
“I don’t know, man. All I know is, he’s the only hope for the people on this planet, including us. Wherever he’s from, whatever he is, he’s all we’ve got.”

The McClellands are enjoying a lazy summer vacation at the beach when they are lured from our world into Ixeos, an alternate Earth. Finding themselves lost in a maze of tunnels under Paris and surrounded by strangers, they discover that they have been brought to Ixeos for one purpose: to take the planet back from humanoid aliens who have claimed it. With the aid of the tunnels and a mysterious man named Landon, the teens travel the world seeking the key that will allow them to free Darian, the long-imprisoned rebel leader. But the aliens aren't the only problem on Ixeos -- the McClellands have to deal with brutal gangs, desperate junkies, and a world without power, where all the technology is owned by the aliens, and where most of the population has been killed or enslaved. The worst part? There's no way home.
