The Pisces Affair

2022: Percipience Series – Book One

CIA operative Jordan Jakes, heroine of Daco’s Amazon #1 Bestseller, The Libra Affair, meets alien probe Prometheus when U.S. Secretary of State Mallory Hamilton becomes the target of a terrorist attack at a head-of-state dinner in Dubai. Posing as the fiancée of a top-ranking government official, Jordan must identify the assassin and stop an unimaginable act of evil. The Pisces Affair is a unique blend of spy thriller and sci-fi. “I am part of The Alvarium Experiment, twelve authors who contributed to The Prometheus Saga, an anthology of stories that explores how Prometheus, an alien probe that can cross genders and regenerate itself, might interact with humans from the dawn of time to the present. Each author in The Alvarium Experiment took a historical event and speculated how Prometheus’s presence might have affected the course of events. I decided to write a story set in modern times in which Prometheus is embroiled in a terrorist plot that Jordan Jakes, the heroine of my spy-thriller series, must stop at all costs.” —D

The first book in the “Percipience” series, 2022 revolves around a worldwide threat made by an eco-terrorist organization and the efforts to stop them while at the same time setting up a large-scale experiment for sustainable living. The book combines murder, espionage, romance, and revenge into the fictional story while exploring the urgency of global issues we face in real life.

“For a number of years, I have wanted to write a book related to the fears I have regarding the upcoming decades and the strains that we are putting both on the planet and society. While researching topics in these areas, however, I found many well-written non-fiction books already in print that are targeted to people already interested in this subject. I wanted to reach out to a broader audience and to write something that would hold their attention, raise awareness, and inspire action. The eco-fiction platform seemed perfect for this and is the basis for the ‘Percipience’ series.” —KK
