Here's some advance praise for the book.
A probing science fiction novel with compelling environmental themes, I’d call this book "Daoist cli-fi." A new subgenre.
-- Dan Bloom, editor, "The Cli-Fi Report"
Action, politics, sustainability, romance, ancient Chinese Daoism, intelligent life on other planets...Greg Ripley expertly weaves myriad fascinating ideas into an engaging story that is not hard to imagine happening in reality. Rich with symbolism, diverse characters, and vibrant descriptions of the Chinese landscape, Voice of the Elders is a journey into a world not unlike our own, and it made me reflect on my personal choices, as well as ponder the potential power of the human mind. I eagerly await Ripley's next book.
-Heidi Barr, author of Woodland Manitou: To Be on Earth
Greg Ripley’s “Voice of the Elders” is a tale of alien intervention that explores the conflict between greedy climate denying fossil fuel corporations and progressive governments. The story follows several gifted young United Nations ambassadors on a thrilling adventure of self-discovery. Chased by climate denying terrorists from New York City and Washington DC to Gansu Province, China, the adventurers must contact key elders from an alien world to bring humanity together and ultimately achieve an alliance that will combat the destructive effects of climate change—one that applies the “mysterious feminine” and cyclical patterns in nature toward a creative power of transformation and regeneration. In this fantastical blend of rich history, ancient lore and fantasy, Ripley uses ancient parables and current science to explore our fractal relationships: from the inner space of the mind encompassing the entire universe to the solar breaches of the magnetosphere acting like acupuncture points on a human body. An adventure story with meaning.
