Rumi's Field

by Timothy Scott Bennett

Overview

President Linda Travis is whisked away by government and military forces and taken to a secure hospital where they treat her for the alien flu. Her husband and staff must fight to gain access. President Linda Travis is abducted by a member of the hidden elite and taken to Mars, where she is forced to make a choice that will determine the future of life on Earth. Both of these things are happening at the same time. From the makeshift Federal Capitol in Augusta, Maine, to the dusty Martian plains of Cydonia, from the biocontainment facility built under the President's private retreat to the secret underground city of Urbem Orsus, follow Linda and Cole and their friends and colleagues as they challenge the breakaway human conspiracy that would rule their lives. This sequel to All of the Above is an epic tale of love and loss that plays out against the background of an unraveling human world. Throw in a smart-mouthed cat, a loyal dog, three kids on a mission in the Astral realm, a time-travelling nanny, a raging pandemic, a Category 6 hurricane, a hybrid invasion, and a virtual reality switcheroo and then hold onto your hats as it all comes together on tiny Squirrel Island off the coast of Maine. *** At last, the sequel to All of the Above is here! Beginning at a point three years out from the end of Book One, Rumi's Field is the second book in the planned trilogy called None So Blind. The hidden elite human cabal is about to make its next move, and they need the U.S. President out of the way first. But one of the elite has other plans in store for the President, and Linda Travis has plans of her own. It's a story of difficult choices, of right and wrong and life and death and the nature of reality itself. It's got talking animals, enigmatic aliens, callous conspirators, and good-hearted human souls doing their best in strange and trying times. Read it now.

About the Author

Timothy Scott Bennett was born in Michigan in 1958, the same year the U.S. launched the Explorer 1 satellite and the Great Chinese Famine began. Always the polymath, he has studied astrophysics, theology, anthropology, and philosophy; painted watercolors and installed broken tile mosaics; founded and lived in intentional communities; raised children; restored houses; performed stage combat and local theater; learned a bit of Russian, and played in a rock band. He's a dogged questioner of cultures, paradigms, beliefs, and assumptions, and seeks to balance paradox and uncertainty whenever he can. In 2003 he met his second wife, Sally, who was able to fully see who he was. Thus empowered, he wrote, directed, and edited the feature-length "cult classic" documentary, What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire. He followed that up with the science-fiction adventure novel All of the Above, and the sequel, Rumi's Field. He lives in North Carolina, where squirrels stare at him through the windows and jabber their unsolicited advice. He 's working on a non-fiction account of his relationship with Sally tentatively titled Asperger's in Love: A Relationship Across the Spectrum. He walks the unraveling human world while reaching for the stars, pondering the eternal questions, and wondering whether the squirrels can be trusted.
