The Gaia Chime.
Coming March 11, 2025
Two documentarians set out to cover a rising tennis star but find themselves at the center of a whirling wave of inexplicable violence and patricide.
Charlotte, seeking to make a documentary for her graduate thesis enlists the older Seth, a burned-out film teacher with a history of scandal, to film the daily life of a rising tennis star, Bobby Weller. It's a glimpse into the world of the rich and dedicated that turns horrifying when Bobby murders both his parents on live TV. It's patricide, an echo of Zeus rising up against Cronos, the young gods replacing the titans. Now, the very public slaughter prompts the filmmakers to trace the threads of blood to the rich and powerful and the horror of global destruction. Can they stop the Gaia Chime? First, they need to find out what it is...
THE GAIA CHIME began in the years of COVID amid undertainty and fear. It is a modern myth, brutal and alarming. The reader joins our characters as witness to crisis. Record and remember.
From the tennis courts of California, to the posh digs of Martha's Vinyard, through the squalor of Brazilian favelas, the return is as inevitable as extinction.
