ELDER RACE by Adrian Tchaikovsky

AGENDA:

1. Short introductions (name, pronouns, one thing you liked about the book)
2. Discussion of ELDER RACE
3. Deciding on November title*

"In Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race, a junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe.

Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way.

But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she’s an adult (albeit barely) and although she still gets in the way, she understands that the only way to save her people is to invoke the pact between her family and the Elder sorcerer who has inhabited the local tower for as long as her people have lived here (though none in living memory has approached it).

But Elder Nyr isn’t a sorcerer, and he is forbidden to help, for his knowledge of science tells him the threat cannot possibly be a demon…"

ELDER RACE is available for purchase through WritersBlockBookstore.com as a physical book (USPS ship-to-home or in-store pickup) or as an e-book through My Must Reads. It is also available to borrow from the Orange County Public Library System as a physical book via grab-and-go or home delivery. If you have questions about how to obtain the book through any of these means, please DM host Shelby Bouck.

*Feel free to suggest a book from any genre for November! It should be published for an adult or young adult audience and be one continuous work, i.e. not a collection of short stories, essays, or poems.
