Product Description
Book Description
The scientist Taldra is one of the few people on the planet Valchondria who can see in color, but a police force called "the Maintainers" won’t let colorsighted people reveal their ability to the public. Duane Simolke explores that "closet" metaphor more in this revised edition of Degranon; he also recreates three of the major characters as gay men. Taldra’s family becomes entangled with a violent religious fanatic from a war-torn planet called "Degranon." The first edition of Degranon received a StoneWall Society Pride in the Arts Award, and Simolke’s publisher, iUniverse, named Degranon one of their Editor’s Choice books.
Synopsis
This revised version of Duane Simolke's science fiction adventure Degranon features more gay characters and a sharper focus on diversity themes. On the planet Valchondria, no illness exists, gay marriage is legal, and everyone is a person of color. However, a group called "the Maintainers" carefully monitors everyone's speech, actions, and weight; the Maintainers also force so-called "colorsighted" people to hide their ability to see in color. The brilliant scientist Taldra loves her twin gay sons and thinks of them as the hope for Valchondria's future, but one of them becomes entangled in the cult of Degranon, while the other becomes stranded on the other side of a doorway through time. Can they find their way home and help Taldra save their world? "A must read." --Joe Wright, reviewer for StoneWall Society (http://www stonewallsociety.com). "A reminder of the danger of fanaticism." --Mark Kendrick, author of the gay time-travel romance Stealing Some Time. "Duane Simolke's latest offering is a fascinating scifi excursion into a world as unique as his singular vision." --Ronald L.Donaghe, author of the series "Common Threads in the Life," which includes Common Sons and The Blind Season.
