Mysterious Galaxy Presents a Virtual Release Party for “Wild Sun: Unbound”
At 5 p.m., Tuesday February 16, Mysterious Galaxy is holding a virtual release party for “Wild Sun: Unbound,” a captivating, high-stakes interplanetary epic from brothers Ehsan and Shakil Ahmad, in which a strong, resourceful woman discovers both enemies and allies as she leads a band of fellow escaped enslaved people through a forest and beyond the stars on a deadly race to freedom.
Brothers Ehsan and Shakil Ahmad grew up in New York City as the first-generation American children of immigrants from Pakistan. Ehsan spent his early twenties traveling across four continents to meet the people of countless cultures, while Shakil earned degrees in psychology and social research. In their late twenties, the brothers reunited in Pennsylvania to start a wedding film company. Ehsan also spent those years writing lyrics and playing bass for an alt-rock band, recording three studio albums. In their thirties, they sold the film company and returned to the city of their birth to work for separate tech startups and collaborate together continuously on screenplays and novels.
Synopsis for UNBOUND:
In this classic yet contemporary interplanetary epic, which hearkens back to the golden age of vintage sci-fi/fantasy adventures, the flames of hope for our heroes cannot easily be extinguished. After three years of forced labor in the mines, Cerrin is free at last. Now she leads a band of escaped enslaved people on a deadly race for freedom across an endless, ancient forest. At her heels are soldiers of the most powerful, most advanced, most ruthless empire the galaxy has ever known. Leading the pursuit is Count Talazeer himself, a vicious nobleman driven by a personal vendetta against Cerrin and a desperate need for redemption in the eyes of his family and his people.
Every day of survival is a victory. Fighting back against their enemy remains an impossible dream. And yet, even as death claims them one by one, the formerly enslaved cling fast to faith in their gods and, above all, in Cerrin. And she’s about to discover strange new allies and enemies are waiting for her people amid the trees and beyond the stars.
They’ll be in conversation with fellow fantasy author Jamie Thomas. The event is free and open to the public. To register, visit www.mystgalaxy.com.
