Items related to The Beautiful Land
An exciting debut novel, in the tradition of The Passage. The Beautiful Land is part science fiction, part horror--and, at its core, a love story, between a brilliant young computer genius and the fragile women he has loved since high school. Now, he must bend time and space to save her life, as the world around them descends into apocalyptic madness.

Review:
This is a very strong beginning to what promises to be a very memorable novel. I love the characters, the quirkiness of the prose, the way the dialogue is both sharp and natural, and the flow of the story. We haven't got to the whole time travel thing yet, so maybe the story will hit a snag there or get too complex and technical, but I'm guessing it won't. Great stuff, and I really hope to read more.
Review:
I honestly believe this has a great chance at winning. If you do decide to do a little more polish, you might consider finding some beta readers or a continuity editor to tighten up some of those little characterization details and the timing for when they occur. But, seriously, this is the most interesting thing I've read this year, so you're doing something right! Good luck.

If Axon succeeds, Tak will lose Samira Moheb, the woman he has loved since high schoolbecause her future will cease to exist.

But what neither Tak nor Axon knows is that the actual inventor of the device is searching for a timeline called the Beautiful Landand he intends to destroy every other possible present and future to find it. The switch is thrown, and reality begins to warphorribly. And Tak realizes that to save Sam, he must save the entire world Tak works for the Axon Corporation as an explorer of parallel timelines.
