Sunday Afternoon Talks: Hamish Lutris
The Stratford Library will reopen for Sunday programming in October with its first “Sunday Afternoon Talks”, its series of informative and entertaining talks featuring prominent local guest speakers. the guest speaker will be Hamish Lutris who will discuss his new novel, “Earth Ascendant: Awakening”. The talk is free and open to the public.
"Awakening" is the first of four volumes of a fast-paced, character-driven fantasy/science-fiction series. Over the space of a day, the lives of almost everyone on Earth are snuffed out as if they had never been. With them disappears all that humans have achieved. Buildings, roads, technology, knowledge, skills- all gone, never to return. Yet there are survivors. Some manage to avoid the destruction almost at random, and now struggle to rebuild their lives in a harsh world, with dangers both old and new. Autographed copies of the novel will be available for purchase following the program.
