The Others by Kristin Bryant is a young adult ci-fi novel about love’s ability to transcend all barriers. Kristin wrote the book while in the midst of fighting for her life when she was diagnose with triple negative breast cancer. She was given many surgical options and chose a double mastectomy—though emotionally painful, it gave her the best chance of beating cancer. Following the surgery, Kristin endured eighteen weeks of chemotherapy and six weeks of radiation. The release of her book on October 1 coincided with the end of her treatments. Though she is not yet cancer free, her future is hopeful.
Here’s the books synopsis:
“A dangerous adventure to save a distant world Ryen is just a normal guy trying to do his job. Unfortunately, that job includes trying to save his distant world on the brink of disaster.
Ryen is on a mission to Earth to find the answers to his distant world’s most critical questions. While searching the Yucatan Peninsula for a mythic figure-a savior-who would live a perfect life and ultimately die to save their souls, Ryen meets Savannah, a beautiful woman hiding a painful past. On their dangerous adventures together through the untamed jungles of Mexico, he can’t help but fall in love with her. As his time runs out, Ryen must decide if he is willing to give up everything he has ever known and loved to stay on Earth with Savannah.
The Masters, a powerful clan of corrupt leaders, are plotting to take back Earth, the sacred planet, from the humans. Ryen and Savannah are thrust into the middle of The Masters’ plot.”
Kristin Bryant is a teacher, author and, most importantly, a mom. She teaches anthropology and psychology for a virtual high school and lives in Orange County, California with her husband and two sons. Visit her at kristinbryant.com.
