Dear All,
My new book Turtle Trainer is now available from the Mangal Media online store. You can download your free PDF and if you like the book please please remember to leave a review on Goodreads!
Turtle Trainer is a short illustrated novella printed in the format of a 1973 issue of a pulp magazine called Blue Lotus. It’s part of a series of world-building fiction. set in the world of Global Anthropological Society (GAS). GAS is an alternate history world-building project which imagines a world in which consulting Anthropologists has become mandatory for most organisations since 9/11. The first book in the series It Happened Here was published in May 2023. I am also currently working on a novel called Hot Air which will be set in the same strange universe!
Without further ado here’s the summary of the book from the back cover and a link to download the PDF. Enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments.
Best,
Efe
In the far-off future of 2023...
Turkey is celebrating the republic's 100th year by sending four mutant turtle brothers to explore Mars. But things are not what they seem… Raised by a dystopian state that values loyalty over all else, the confines of the space station start to merge with the limits of their consciousness. Hayret, Hiddet, Hikmet and Hürmet each respond to the harrowing mysteries on a hostile planet, in their own ways. Will they overcome the dangers lurking among the barren ochre dunes and the explosive geysers boiling underneath their fragile space station? Or will they discover that the real danger lies within their tortured bodies and tormented souls? Brace yourselves for a journey into the depths of a dystopian terror, unlike any you have ever known…
