Farya Navurian has inadvertently destroyed much of the world. Carrying such a forbidding secret, it is little wonder she struggles with depression. Farya lives in a world where only she can remember the Greater Anointed Imperial Ohioan Commonwealth. Each time she has a mental breakdown, not only are time and space inexplicably altered, but also the memories of every person are affected by the changed history. The anxiety is palpable as Farya struggles to handle her power. But she isn’t the only one harboring an alarming secret.
Bryan is an ultra-successful businessman. And while Big Business has never been shy about adding ridiculous clauses to the fine print of contracts, Ms. Never takes things one step further. A Non-Mortal Element clause is included in low cost cell phone plans whereby users sign away their souls to a third party. For Bryan, the burden of carrying such a great secret on his shoulders weighs heavily. However, living a life of luxury and excess comes at a cost. Will Farya and Bryan’s love be enough to save the world?
Ms. Never is a trippy look at a distorted future with plenty of surprises. Colin Dodds channels Philip K. Dick with a splash of the Great Gatsby thrown in for glitz in this wildly entertaining novel.
