In the poignant first installment in the series, the hard-edged attorney Shannon Kendricks, a dedicated volunteer at SeaQuarium, finds herself embroiled in the strange world of an alien child, Essi, after a bizarre lavender lightning strikes her and Juneau, a rare beluga whale at the SeaQuarium, leaving the latter in comma. Shannon must help Essi to get back to her planet while trying to secure a deal for Juneau\u2019s return to the wild. Parker follows the first installment with a high-stake adventure peppered with raw emotions in the second part. Waiting for Juneau\u2019s return after securing a one-day deal out of captivity, Shannon is met with despair after an unfortunate incident sends the animal out into the chilly waters of Alaskan Sea. Meanwhile, Essi is back on earth riddled with a life-threatening virus. The stakes rise after Essi becomes the target of a pair of sinister aliens looking to gain access to the virus and destroy humanity. In the emotionally raw third installment, Parker takes readers on an exhilarating journey as Shannon struggles to save Essi while trying to evade the Homeland Security agents and fight a terrorizing FireWorld monster. Tender emotions and high-stake dangers simmer on the page, turning the bond of friendship and humanity into a battlefield as Shannon, Essi, Juneau, Indy, and Nascissus unite together to defeat their malevolent enemies. Shannon and Becky\u2019s endearing bond of friendship and their eventual fall in the first book will break readers\u2019 hearts. Juneau\u2019s longing to tread the open waters of wild sea will tear the hearts of animal lovers. Indy deserved a longer run in the series. Parker skillfully conveys her protagonists\u2019 fears, insecurities, and self-doubts as they struggle to stay alive in the face of relentless dangers. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to believe that Juneau, Indy, Nascissus, Essi, and Salesti aren\u2019t human. Luke, with his strength and wit makes for a total darling, and his chemistry with Shannon is winning. The alien antagonists are downright sinister. Parker\u2019s narrative is swiftly paced and her storytelling assured, as she examines the complexities of friendships, compassion, humanity, trust, and love while chronicling the stories of a young alien and a rare whale\u2019s path to freedom. Lush, lyrical, and deeply moving, this is an accomplished work of science fiction. Parker is an author to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Power Rising (3-books series)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Cathy Parker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08R6LCHSC\/\" target=\"_blank\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Power of Three: The Novel of a Whale, a Woman, and an Alien Child : Book 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $12.99 (USD) Paperback, $3.99 Kindle edition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Power Multiplied: The Novel of a Woman, a Whale, and an Alien Child in Peril: Book 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $14.99 (USD) Paperback, $4.02 Kindle edition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Power Stabilized: An Urban Fantasy Filled with Aliens, Dragonpanthers, Whales and One Intrepid Woman: Book 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $12.65 (USD) Paperback, $5.00 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mesmerizing, authentic work of science fiction\u2026 Parker\u2019s compelling and deeply moving SF series follows a young attorney\u2019s journey to secure freedom for her young alien friend and a rare beluga whale while trying to save the humanity from a devastating alien invasion.
