Daniel H. Wilson & Omar El Akkad in Conversation With Wendy N. Wagner

Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing 3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd, Beaverton, OR, United States

In these tumultuous times, in our deeply divided country, many people are angry, frightened, and hurting. Knowing that imagining a brighter tomorrow has always been an act of resistance, Victor LaValle and John Joseph Adams invited an extraordinarily talented group of writers to share stories that explore new forms of freedom, love, and justice. The result is A People’s Future of the United States (One World), a collection of 25 stories that blend the dark and the light, the dystopian and the utopian. Contributors Daniel H. Wilson, author of The Clockwork Dynasty, and Omar El Akkad, author of American War, will be joined for a conversation by Wendy N. Wagner, author of An Oath of Dogs.

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Fifty years after The Andromeda Strain made Michael Crichton a household name – and spawned a new genre, the technothriller – the threat returns, in Daniel H. Wilson’s The Andromeda Evolution (Harper), a gripping sequel that is terrifyingly realistic and resonant. Deep inside Fairchild Air Force Base, Project Eternal Vigilance has continued to watch and wait for the Andromeda Strain to reappear. On the verge of being shut down, the project has registered no activity – until now.
