Challenge the Yumocha!
My recently finished book “CHALLENGE THE YUMOCHA” is about people who are building a new civilization on another planet. The known world is unraveling. A formerly free country, plagued by terrorism, is destroying itself from within. Totalitarian forces have established a police state. An alternate libertarian civilization is being prepared, but it is in danger, and on the verge of collapse. A troubled yet hopeful middle-aged man, a renegade ex-cop, a mysterious young girl, and a maniacally unpredictable rock drummer meet during an escape from a death camp, and struggle to reach the new world. Little do they know that the turmoil they are caught in is but the localized expression of a cosmic war between a powerful species of god-like beings who are trying to save the entire galaxy from imminent destruction by one of their own who has gone power mad. One of the main characters, a young man named Werbinox, is initiated into this greater truth by a strange old man who possesses unearthly abilities. Werbinox does not know if he can really trust this man or not, but he has little choice but to follow him. In the course of the action he learns a shocking truth, and discovers that the fate of the universe depends upon him. Along the way there are plenty of surprises, action, political drama, rock and roll, surrealistic mayhem, twisted sex, disturbing megalomania, conspiracy, philosophy, torture, and triumph.
“CHALLENGE THE YUMOCHA” is unlike any other book on the market, yet it draws upon well-established genres:
It is SCIENCE FICTION, for its technological vision is advanced. Even though much of its world is recognizable as our own, it is skewed just enough to be an alternate reality.
It is HORROR, for it is full of scary moments and ghost stories.
It is FANTASY, and contains battles between gods, wizards, and monsters, all of which are contained in their own original mythology. In this sense the book fits with the current success of works such as “Harry Potter”, and the older “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Yet because it explores sado-masochistic sexuality, it is Fantasy-for-Adults.
It is PHILOSOPHICAL FICTION in the tradition of “Moby Dick” and “Atlas Shrugged”, books that continue to sell and influence minds to this day.
It is ACTION-ADVENTURE, for the fate of all life is in jeopardy, and the characters are ready to fight to the death for their existence and freedom.
For marketing purposes, the book can be classified as FANTASY ADVENTURE.
