I originally posted on Tildes about Lisica when I first started 30 weeks ago. Now we are halfway through the epic tale and still going strong! Please join us for this free story without ads as I finish recording the narration for the final 30 episodes.
Welcome to LISICA! Join 11 researchers on this secret Northern Pacific island as they work to discover its mysterious past. Published online for free without ads, this is science fiction for actual scientists, a series of four novels that charts their eight weeks alone on the beach and in the woods. Their Principal Investigator, Alonso, is a data scientist trying to build a new framework called Plexity that re-orders the understanding of life itself. He has recruited his wife Miriam, a world-class geologist; his best friend Amy, a field biologist, and a whole team including Esquibel the medical doctor, Mandy the atmospheric scientist, Mahjabeen the marine scientist, Triquet the archaeologist, Flavia the theoretical mathematician, Katrina the polymath, and the biologist grad students Pradeep and Jay.
Sponsored by the US Air Force, they have eight weeks here, cut off from the rest of the planet for unspoken security reasons. Their work forms the core of the story, as does their struggle for survival on a wild island in the middle of the ocean. But it is also very much a story of love, and how these brilliant and driven people discover themselves and each other. More than anything, this story is pure feel-good escapism--a refuge from the increasingly anxiety-inducing real world of 2024. I call it a scientist soap opera.
Each of the four novels covers two weeks on the island. All the writing has been completed and each narrated chapter is being released for free without ads on my website every Monday. Today I posted Chapter 30, which marks the end of book two. We are halfway done!
Please join us on this journey and be reminded of the promise of a scientific life well-lived!
