The Kikiloa Chronicles: A Literary Science Fiction Novel of Time Travel, Magical Realism and an Irrepressible Mitochondrial Eve

"Moving, surprising time-travel story of the fight against entropy. Demands and rewards patient attention." Editor's Pick - BookLife Reviews by Publishers Weekly "An engaging time-travel romp that mashes up Jung and Doctor Who to masterful effect." OUR VERDICT: GET IT - Kirkus Reviews Kikiloa is Mitochondrial Eve, the 200,000-year-old mother of humanity and our lonely, irrepressible first storyteller. She's also a freckled fourteen-year-old trickster bounding across a San Francisco park to meet her ordinary friend Hazel, whom Kiki believes can make death itself pass people by. Probably. Kiki is determined to discover an antidote to entropy before everything meaningful is lost. And she hopes Hazel is the key. When a cliff collapses beneath them and Kiki vanishes mid-fall, Hazel is left facing the man who attacked them - and the start of a coming-of-age she never asked for. Meanwhile, Kiki's hope unravels backward through her self-delusions, all the way to her bleak first life as an outcast enslaved in a dystopian prehistoric world. But Kiki never lets up.
