A New Sci-Fi Adventure: 'Homebound' by Portia Elan
A Science Fiction Tale of Connection and Loneliness
Portia Elan is set to release her first novel, "Homebound," next year. This science fiction story takes place in the 1980s and follows Becks, a teenager determined to finish a game her uncle left behind.
The Game That Connects Lives
The game Becks is working on has a profound impact. It intertwines the lives of four other people:
- A scientist
- A robot
- A sea captain
Becks embarks on a space mission that brings them all together.
A Story of Belonging and Nostalgia
Elan aimed to write a book that helps people feel less lonely. She hopes it reminds readers of the books they loved as kids. The story is for those who feel like outsiders and believe in the power of stories and family.
Praise from Literary Figures
The book has already received acclaim from other authors. Madeline Miller, author of The Song of Achilles, says it kept her up all night. She describes it as a mystery spanning centuries that explores what makes us human.
More Than Just a Story
"Homebound" is more than just a narrative. It is a journey that makes you reflect on life and connections. It is a book that can make you feel less alone.
