The Turn: the Hollows Begins with Death
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Can science save us when all else fails?
Trisk and her hated rival, Kal, have the same goal: save their species from extinction.
But death comes in the guise of hope when a genetically modified tomato created to feed the world combines with the government's new tactical virus, giving it an unexpected host and a mode of transport. Plague rises, giving the paranormal species the choice to stay hidden and allow humanity to die, or to show themselves in a bid to save the human race.
Under accusations of scientific misconduct, Trisk and Kal flee across a plague-torn United States to convince leaders of the major paranormal species to save their supposedly weaker kin. Not everyone thinks humanity should be saved, though, and Trisk must fight the prejudices of two societies to prove not only that humanity does have something to offer but also that long-accepted beliefs against women, dark magic, and humanity itself can turn to understanding; that when people are at their worst, the best show their true strength; and that love can hold the world together as a new balance is found.

December 19, 2016
In this somewhat clunky prequel to her bestselling Hollows urban fantasy series, Harrison (The Operator) goes back to the 1960s to depict the drastic event known as the Turn. Elf Trisk Cambri yearns for success and glory as a geneticist but is overlooked due to her gender; when given a chance to work on a human-led project as an industrial spy, she accepts it, taking the opportunity to help perfect a tomato that could change the world. When her rival, fellow elf Trent “Kal” Kalamack, sabotages the project, he inadvertently unleashes a plague that wipes out a billion humans (to which the survivors’ reaction is weirdly understated) and threatens the rest, only sparing the supernatural races hiding in plain sight. Now Trisk and her fellow Inderlanders must somehow stop the plague and save the world without revealing their true natures. While chronicling the collapse of civilization and the rise of the supernatural races, Harrison focuses on industrial espionage and science, in contrast to the romance-heavy books that follow; this one does have a forced romance plot between Trisk and Kal, but it’s hard to view an unintentional mass killer as a romantic hero. It’s a fantasy that feels more like a thriller, set in a 1960s that doesn’t entirely ring true, and crammed full of appearances and cameos by numerous familiar characters. It works well as fan service but relies heavily on the rest of the series to give its events meaning. Agent: Richard Curtis,
Richard Curtis Associates.

Those familiar with Harrison's "Hollows" series know that the supernatural community came out of the proverbial closet owing to a worldwide pandemic that killed millions of humans. The story of how that crisis kicked off in the 1960s is told here. Ambitious elf geneticist Trisk, who is trying to get respect from her male counterparts, takes a position in a human-run lab, hiding her true nature as she develops a virus that she hopes will one day save her people. Her plans go awry when longtime rival Trent "Kal" Kalamack shows up at her lab, intending to discredit her work. Fans will clamor for this prequel and will enjoy the cameos from some series regulars, including demon Aliagarept. They should be prepared for some sluggish pacing, however, and a heroine who makes some frustratingly bad choices. VERDICT Even with these drawbacks, it will leave longtime readers with an immediate desire to reread the main series.--MM
