Descriere
After a fateful confrontation with her former ally and mentor, the Cosmic leader Tony Barlow, Amira Valdez is on the run, pregnant with her own clone and desperate. Her friends are in danger. Some are dead. The Trinity Compound is more powerful than ever, preparing to advance on the city of Westport with a growing army under the spell of the mind-controlling drug Tiresia. Andrew Reznik, the Trinity Compound’s fearsome leader, is ready for war against the modern world. And all of Amira’s hopes for her own safety and the fate of her home lie with Nova, the first human clone. Only Nova is missing, a child lost in North America and plagued by memories of her murdered mother. Amira must reach her in time before her enemies strike first, to protect her and to solve the greatest challenge in human history – how to preserve human consciousness after death. If Amira can unlock the complex neurological code in Nova’s consciousness, which carries memories of life as Rozene, Amira might be able to save herself, and the life of her own unborn clone.
But as Amira reunites with old friends and pushes her skills as a neuroscientist to its furthest limits, she must contend with her own complicated feelings toward two powerful enemies – Andrew Reznik, who shares a neurological and spiritual link with Amira that cannot be broken, and Tony Barlow, a visionary scientist overcome by his desperation to conquer death, no matter the human cost. Amira must dive deep into her own conscious and deepest fears before determining how to use her unique abilities. Her early dream of going into space is finally realized when events lead her to the mysterious Osiris station, home of the scientific world’s darkest secrets – and the key to stopping the world from disaster. As the forces of faith and science collide around her, Amira must discover who she truly is before she can alter the course of human history – and the nature of life itself.

Notă biografică
Nadia Afifi is the author of The Sentient and numerous science fiction short stories. Her debut novel was lauded as ‘staggering and un-put-downable’ in a starred Publishers Weekly review and recommended by Booklist for ‘readers who love a thrilling narrative and welcome moral and philosophical questions in their science fiction.’ Analog Magazine describes her as ‘a brand-new voice in our field, and one you should become familiar with.’ The Sentient is the first novel in a near-future series about a controversial cloning project, human consciousness and a high-stakes conflict between religious fundamentalism and science. Her short fiction has appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (‘The Bahrain Underground Bazaar’) and Abyss & Apex (‘Exhibit K’).
Nadia grew up in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where she read every book she could get her hands on, but currently calls Denver, Colorado home. She is a member of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writer’s organization. Her background as an Arab American who lived overseas has inspired her fiction writing, particularly her passion for exploring complex social, political and cultural issues through a futuristic lens.
When she isn’t writing, she spends her time practicing (and falling off) the lyra (aerial hoops), hiking through Colorado’s many trails, jogging through Denver’s streets and working on the most challenging jigsaw puzzles she can find. She also loves dogs, travel and cooking. Follow her latest musings and adventures on her website (nadiaafifi.com), Twitter (@nadoodles) or Facebook (nadiawritesscifi).
