Synopsis "The Rise of io "

Ella Patel – thief, con-artist and smuggler – is in the wrong place at the wrong time. One night, on the border of a demilitarized zone run by the body-swapping alien invaders, she happens upon a man and woman being chased by a group of assailants. The man freezes, leaving the woman to fight off five attackers at once, before succumbing. As she dies, to both Ella and the man’s surprise, the sparkling light that rises from the woman enters Ella, instead of the man. She soon realizes she’s been inhabited by Io, a low-ranking Quasing who was involved in some of the worst decisions in history. Now Ella must now help the alien presence to complete her mission and investigate a rash of murders in the border states that maintain the frail peace.With the Prophus assigned to help her seemingly wanting to stab her in the back, and the enemy Genjix hunting her, Ella must also deal with Io’s annoying inferiority complex. To top it all off, Ella thinks the damn alien voice in her head is trying to get her killed. And if you can’t trust the voices in your head, who can you trust?File Under: Science Fiction [Ella From the Block | Alien Inside | War Without End | Shape Up and Strike Back]

Wesley Chu es un autor de ciencia ficción y fantasía nacido el 23 de septiembre de 1976 en Taipéi, Taiwán. Pasó su infancia con sus abuelos en Taiwán mientras sus padres estudiaban en los EE. UU., y en 1982 se mudó para reunirse con ellos en Nebraska, trasladándose más tarde a Chicago. Estudió Sistemas de Información en la Universidad de Illinois, después trabajó varios años en banca y consultoría.

Su carrera literaria despegó con su debut, The Lives of Tao, publicado en 2013, que le valió un reconocimiento inmediato. Desde entonces ha escrito numerosas novelas, incluyendo las series Tao, Io, Time Salvager, y ha colaborado con otros autores en sagas juveniles populares. Su estilo mezcla acción, humor, ciencia ficción especulativa y fantasía, a menudo explorando temas como la identidad, los extraterrestres, viajes en el tiempo, y los conflictos morales en universos expandidos.
