Inklebrawt Winklehank is a Huply, a hybrid of the biologically engineered immortal Plythi'i race and a human. Because of his birthright, he has both the logic and enhanced psychokinetic abilities of the Plythi'i paired with the wild emotions and temperament of humanity. He is forced to wrestle with these emotions in the face of what his logical mind knows he must do to safeguard the future of the human race. But he is not alone. Maggie Henderson is a scientist working at MIT, creating leading-edge bio-nanotechnology while struggling to keep her own powers hidden, unaware of a growing threat close to home. David Wessel is an elite sniper stationed in the Afghanistan desert. When his latest target turns out to be far more dangerous than your average enemy, he is forced to choose who to believe to protect those closest to him. And Nicola Helyn is a runaway mobster who only wants to forget his past, but when he meets a mysterious woman and finds himself hunted by a dangerous man, he is forced to reconcile all he thought he knew with the truth of who he is. Connected by the threads of fate, the four must learn how to work together despite their differences. Because time is running out. The Shepherds, a group of rogue Huply who believe the Plythi'i should remain separate from humans, are moving. They nearly destroyed the Plythi'i in their first attack centuries ago, leaving the Earth and its civilizations in shambles, with nothing more than rubble to mark the technological advances of the past. This time they are determined not to fail. And behind the scenes, whispers of the enigmatic Tsr'Yyd are growing. Shrouded in mystery and myth, no one knows who or what they are. But Ink, the Shepherds, and the Plythi'i know one thing: they are to be feared. Spanning lifetimes and crossing galaxies, Stilled: The Story of Inklebrawt Winklehank is an intricate, fast-paced science fiction novel of a fight across millennia for the future of the evolution of the human race.Also in
