Hi Everyone,
Part Four of my book, Sapien Loop: Frozen in Time, has been published on my 
Part Four takes us back to the Downs Regions. One of the frozen Linap begins remembering things about his and the lives of the others prior to being frozen. This Linap begins to suspect that the Downs leadership is not being entirely upfront with him and the other frozen Linap. This leads to Orcilla allowing them more freedom, such as permitting them to live with the rest of the Downs residents in local apartments.
Denise, Freddy, Daily, and Louis have an encounter with the underground Linap at one of the locations they were visiting. Louis’ behaviour grows ever more suspicious when he is heard talking to someone and then escapes in one of the flying vehicles.
The underground Linap were able to track the flying vehicle back to Downs. This leads to the eastern tribe of underground Linap visiting Downs. There was some initial tension, but this was quickly resolved when the underground Linap saw how well the frozen Linap, to them their ancestors, were being treated.
Jennifer became aware of a potential cure for the Downs residents. She sent Octavius out to get a unique seaweed to make this cure. She planned to use this cure as a bargaining chip to gain control over Downs.
Tensions between Yassme and Orcilla continue to grow as Lily becomes increasingly more effective at driving a wedge between both Yassme, Orcilla, as well as Yassmay. The tensions are nearing their peak.

I have published an ebook on Amazon; it is titled ‘Sapien Loop: End of an Era’. The book is fiction. I do not normally write fiction. However, I felt it was appropriate considering what is happening in the world today. Freedom is the most important thing we have, but we are gradually losing it. I have covered this in many of my posts.
In the story, most citizens do not understand the concept of freedom because they have never really experienced it. In essence, the story is about an alien world that might represent our not-so-distant future. There are many other elements to the story that are an abstract and exaggerated version of our reality. I believe this book to be an important read, and I believe it has the potential to change the way you think.
This story is based on the fictional planet Sapia and its sole country, Sapey. Sapey is portrayed as a form of utopia for all its citizens. No poverty. No war. Almost no crime. Opportunities for all.
This was enough for most citizens, but not all. In one of the small regions, some of the citizens had become discontent. They felt something important was missing in their lives. Their discontent did not go unnoticed. Some of the Sapey elite wanted to weaponise this discontent to gain more power. This created more chaos than they anticipated. This led to further widespread social unrest.
On top of the chaos, ambition and greed provoked another enemy. This enemy was on a mission to settle both new and old scores.
If you want to buy a copy of the book, below are links to the relevant Amazon websites for each country it is available in. The book is priced at approximately US$5.08.
