A new speculative fiction novel by Tessa Stockton, REMNANT: Count of the Giants

Overview

The misadventure happened while on a spelunking trip in southern Turkey. An invisible portal sent me to the center of the earth, a place known as the abyss. There, I discovered an unsustainable culture existing for centuries; a race starving underground. What unfolded next came out of the Book of Enoch.

I encountered a savage giant and learned the truth on the origin of evil. He kept me alive, and I gave him hope. I'm not sure, I may have loved him. Frightful. Still, this strange event ends in tragedy, and yet with courage.


My frail mind won't wrap around what took place. The incident, and later the outcome. I've asked myself these questions: Will we have peace when none exists? Can we find the mercy of God extended toward a group of grimy, deserted, battle-weary subterranean outcasts? A cursed remnant of giants hurled during the Great Flood to the burial grounds of The Fallen. Fallen angels who had rejected their divine stations to corrupt earth, now imprisoned under the darkest valley, awaiting their final judgment.

Between the boundary of death and life I faced them and their predecessors.

Wish I didn't, except it birthed a purpose.


​Or, as my surface friend, Bart, might say in one of his pub chats. "Hey, this woman I know got rocketed through a shaft to middle earth, fought in the land of the fearful dead, met living titans scrapping for escape—using her to get there—and survived to tell about it." Popping a few peanuts, he'd continue, "What do you think about religion?"

Vivid, Unforgettable Read, One Worth Having!

Mission: find a story to transport me from my busy life – THIS STORY did just that. The pace and descriptive writing not only took me “there” but stirred emotions and underlined the “creature comforts” my reality gives in abundance. The basic survival for things like food and water had me feeling guilty for snacking while reading and glad I was on the outside “reading in.” There were times I got creeped out, felt the pains of battle, despair, loss (even had tears threatening to fall a few times), and hope. Hope understanding that through it all we have an expected end based on our faith.

Tessa’s writing places you front and center. Often the story flickered in my mind like a 3-D movie – other times as if I was on a theme park ride, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting all that surrounded me. Do I recommend this to someone wanting to “get away” or “see how things could be just outside our reality?” YOU BET!
