After a few days in the wilderness (feeling more connected to the Earth, perhaps) I started to tell him the story of The Gaia Wars. What if Gaia (the Earth) is not simply alive, but also sentient? It occurred to me that a lot of so-called primitive cultures believed this very thing. In my imagination, I took the Gaia Hypothesis one step further. When I first heard it I wondered how it might be woven into a novel. It was proposed by NASA scientist James Lovelock and says that "all organisms and their inorganic surroundings on Earth make up a single, self-regulating entity." In other words, the Earth itself is a living thing. There's a theory called The Gaia Hypothesis. Ī note on the inspiration for The Gaia Wars: The Second Book of The Gaia Wars, BATTLE FOR CASCADIA, was published in November, 2011.īoth THE GAIA WARS and BATTLE FOR CASCADIA have appeared on Amazon's list of "Top 100 Bestselling Children's Action & Adventure Books" multiple times, and the series was just optioned for film by Identity Films, Hollywood. One reader described it as "Last of the Mohicans meets The Twilight Zone." I wrote The Gaia Wars for my son, Eli, when he was eleven, and have been thrilled with the feedback I've received from kids and parents alike since the book's release. THE GAIA WARS is a fast-paced wilderness adventure with fantasy and sci-fi elements. Kirkus Reviews calls THE GAIA WARS "A solid first entry of a promising, imaginative new young-adult fantasy series featuring a well-crafted character." Publisher's note: THE GAIA WARS series was optioned for film by Identity Films, LA in 2012 and both GAIA and BATTLE have been featured as Top 100 Bestsellers in Teen Literature and Fiction on Amazon. Bennett lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and son and two hyperactive Australian Shepherds. His best yet." -Rebecca Wells, author of DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA-YA SISTERHOOD and other novels. After reading Exodus 2022, this place will never look quite the same. Bennett has set this on-the-edge-of-your-seat story in the Great Pacific Northwest where I make my home. "I'm not usually a sci-fi thriller enthusiast. Kept me guessing to the very last page." - Bob Mayer, New York Times Bestselling Author of the AREA 51 Series. A fresh, original sci-fi thriller full of unexpected twists and turns.
"Exodus 2022 opens full throttle and never lets up. Deft storytelling and a riptide of action." - KIRKUS REVIEWS Praise for EXODUS 2022: "Bennett, after a neat Dean Koontz-style curtain-raiser, keeps raising the stakes. Bennett also penned the young adult novels, THE GAIA WARS and BATTLE FOR CASCADIA. Bennett is the author of the sci-fi thriller, EXODUS 2022, and the new short story series: WANDERINGS: SHORT FICTIONS AND ILLUSIONS.
