Dumala

By: Joyce Marie Taylor, Mike Mullis

Narrated by: J. McIntosh

Becky Rogers is a young woman with strong beliefs about how to make the world a better place to live. Many claim she uses scare tactics to raise awareness about environmental issues and they dismiss her as a troublemaker. When she discovers a catastrophic event about to happen, she finds herself in the middle of what could prove to be the end of life ‘as we know it’.

Will linguist Mickey DeRosa and ancient history professor Doc Wiggins be able to help Becky convince the world to change their destructive ways? Can they stop a dangerous military leader from destroying the world? Can love bloom during these troubled times? Lastly, is planet Earth beyond fixing? Some say yes, but others have hopes for a brighter future. Are these strange events science fiction or reality? You decide…

Different than anything I’ve ever read!

"DUMALA" is a unique blend of dystopian themes and environmental chaos, unlike anything I've ever experienced. What made this book particularly special was the author's connection to my hometown; every location mentioned was either a place I've lived or am very familiar with, making it incredibly easy to visualize the story. The book strikes a great balance with humor that avoids being corny, romantic scenes that are tastefully subtle, and a plot that is both detailed and consistently engaging. I especially appreciated the realistic environmental elements, which mirror many of today's societal issues. The narrator's ability to convincingly portray a variety of characters was also impressive. Overall, "DUMALA" exceeded my expectations, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
