A Hundred Ascending – new science fiction novel

One hundred strangers are abducted in beams of light and trapped inside a colossal alien sphere where time moves a hundred times faster.

I visited Kathie, her family, and my other two siblings: Gail and Ken (and Ken’s wife & one of their sons). It was…great. We all talked, socialized, made each other laugh, and generally had a lovely time despite knowing this would probably be the last time we were all together. Then on April 7th, I started my COVID19 journey, resulting in me spending almost
