The Gaia Chime

Autor Johnny Worthen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2025
Charlotte, seeking to make a documentary for her graduate thesis enlists the older Seth, a burned-out film teacher with a history of scandal, to film the daily life of a rising tennis star, Bobby Weller. It's a glimpse into the world of the rich and dedicated that turns horrifying when Bobby murders both his parents on live TV. It's patricide, an echo of Zeus rising up against Cronos, the young gods replacing the titans. Now, the very public slaughter prompts the filmmakers to trace the threads of blood to the rich and powerful and the horror of global destruction. Can they stop the Gaia Chime? First, they need to find out what it is...

Notă biografică

Johnny Worthen grew up in the high desert snows and warm summer winds of the Wasatch Mountains. He graduated with a B.A. in English, minor in Classics and a Master's in American Studies from the University of Utah. After a series of businesses and adventures, including years abroad and running his own bakery, Johnny found himself drawn to the only thing he ever wanted to do -- write. And write he does. Well versed in modern literary criticism and cultural studies, Johnny writes upmarket multi-genre fiction, both traditionally and independently published. “I write what I like to read,” he says. “That guarantees me at least one fan.”
Johnny’s best-selling series, The Books of Coronam, is an epic science fiction series in the vein of Frank Herbert’s DUNE. It is available from Flame Tree Press, with international distribution through Simon and Schuster. Like Johnny’s many other titles it is available wherever better books are sold.
When not writing his own stuff, Johnny edits professionally for a small dark fiction press in Los Angeles and teaches Creative Writing at the University of Utah. He lives in Sandy Utah with his wife, sons and cats. There’s also a lawn.

Recenzii

"The Gaia Chime is a mind-bender of a cultural and global horror-thriller that will take you down twists and turns you will never see coming! Highly recommended!!"

"A chilling discourse on class, culture, and capitalism, underpinned with ancient myth, Johnny Worthen’s The Gaia Chime is a provocative and visionary near-future narrative, and an unsettling call to action. If you haven’t already put Worthen on your must-read list, you should rectify that now."

"The Gaia Chime is a fascinating story with shocking twists. The vivid characters and dialogue that just sings makes reading the latest tale from Johnny Worthen an absolute pleasure. You're going to be delighted or terrified - possibly both."

"The Gaia Chime is ringing and calling out to a receptive generation. We know of many of the changes that have happened to our world, but now there is something more, something deeper, driving people to take up the fight. Johnny Worthen addresses the issues of the day by casting a dark reflection of what could be when the chime strikes."

On the Coronam series:
"A clever and exciting collision of space opera, high adventure, and devious politics. Insightful and highly entertaining!"

"Worthen shows himself a master of style and substance…"

"The worlds of Coronam, with their mixture of old and new technologies, create a unique setting for an ageless story about humanity."

'Johnny Worthen is a bold and imaginative writer; his Coronam work is a fascinating look at our troubling history through the lens of tomorrow.'

"With Of Kings Queens and Colonies, Johnny Worthen creates an immersive and compelling world populated by vivid characters. As always, his excellent writing is saturated with humor and humanity. Highly recommended."

"...this is the beginning of an outstanding epic that will have broad appeal, especially to the readers of the Dune saga. Highly recommended for all sf collections."
