In 4029, Homo convertibilis has replaced Homo sapiens and their
scientists study the “Pierre de Vent,” a collection of political, historical,
and ancient sacred texts written by the “founding father,” who is the
reference of the new society.

2054, to combat the chronic anemia of the sedentary population, who live
cloistered and under government tutelage, the pharmaceutical company Orson and
Orson, of which Nucleus is the main shareholder, developed a regenerative pill
called Jouvence. Everyone is clamoring for it. “Unfortunately,” the side
effects of the miracle product affect the libido of the consumers, causing
them to literally die of pleasure.

Nucleus manipulates governments to gradually rid the planet of the surplus
humans who no longer have a place in a society where finance has supplanted
mass consumerism. His hope is to turn Earth into a true Eden for his people
who are, in his eyes, the only humans worthy of survival. However, a
persistent infertility crisis amongst his kind, casts a dark shadow over his
once-promising vision of a utopian future. Meanwhile, in the Metropolis, some
Sedentaries, including Winston, manage to escape the systematic and inevitable
extermination set in motion by Nucleus.

Will they be able to survive the persecution of the army of liberty and the
reactivation of the GMO seeds of hyper-accumulating hyacinths that has covered
the entire planet?

Gripping, provocative, and chillingly prescient, Eden: The Final Solution is a
dystopian tour de force that challenges the limits of progress, morality and
reimagine the Orwellian dystopia, shaped by the excesses and anxieties of our
time. Fans of Brave New World and 1984 will find themselves
enthralled—and terrified—by this haunting vision of the future.

About the Author

Pascal Bouquillard
Pascal Bouquillard is a jack-of-all-trades. After graduating from the
“Baccalauréat économique et social” in France, he pursued
classical music studies at the “École Normale de Musique de
Paris”, taught for almost 30 years, acted on American stages in South
Carolina and published acoustic versions of his favorite songs on the YouTube
channel, “pascalsguitar”.

At the end of the ’80s, he spent several years touring Europe and
French-speaking countries with the “Trio Français de Guitare”,
which he co-founded and which specialized in transcriptions of works by early
20th-century composers. Unfortunately, focal dystonia prevents him from
pursuing a career as a classical guitarist. He then obtained a scholarship to
the “Maitrise de Musique Baroque de Versailles”, where he played
tenor and was introduced to conducting.

In the ’90s, he co-founded the progressive rock band Saens, in which he
was composer, singer, bassist and acoustic guitarist, and with whom he
released three albums: Les Regrets d’Isidore D, Escaping From The Hands
Of God and Prophet In A Statistical World.

In 1997, he conducted Benjamin Britten’s opera “Noah’s
Ark” at the Cathédrale Saint Louis in Versailles, the Église Saint
Augustin in Paris and the Théâtre de Poissy. That same year, he was invited to
conduct a group of musicians from the Orchestre National de France at the
Théâtre des Champs Élysées, on the occasion of Mstislav Rostropovich’s
70th birthday.

He then moved to the USA to find the woman he was to marry. Interested by the
turn the world economy is taking, he returns to his original political
passions.

After more than 5 years of research and reflection as part of a virtual
focused group of French citizens, and driven by the anxieties provoked by his
discoveries, he launched into the writing of “Eden” and the
“Practical Guide toward an Atomic Democracy”.

MIKE tablet

EXCERPT

Cassie lifted the phone and tapped in the number before she could change her mind. On the first ring, she panicked. What would she say? What if she started crying? What if he didn’t answer? What if he had another girl there? What if …

“Mike here.”

Oh God.

Silence.

“Hello.” His irritated voice came across the line. “If you’re there, you better speak.”

“Mike?” Her voice cracked.

“Cassie?” He sounded unsure.

“Yes, it’s me.”

“Are you okay?” His voice softened and filled with concern.

“Mike …” Her voice broke. Oh hell. “I need you.”

“I’m on my way.”

No words had ever given her more security. He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t ask what was wrong. He simply told her what she needed to hear.

I’m on my way.

A man of fortitude, his words were spoken with grit, guaranteeing his strength and protection. Giving her the assurance he was there for her. He was coming to her.

She stared at the phone in her hand. She should get up. She should get dressed. Her limbs were too heavy. She had no energy, no will to move. Mike. She’d wait for Mike. Vague thoughts rolled around in her head until abruptly, she heard a loud pounding on her front door.

“Cassie. Are you in there? Open up?”

Jerked out of her fog, she flinched at the racket.

“Cassie. It’s Mike. Open up!”

Good Lord, the neighbors. She jumped from the bed and nearly lost her towel. Grabbing it with both hands, she ran down the hallway and stubbed her toe on a corner table. She shrieked.

“Dammit, Cassie. What’s going on in there?” He pounded harder.

Her toe throbbed, tears threatened and she worried her neighbors would call the cops. She half-stumbled, half-hopped to the door and threw it open.

If she didn’t already know Mike, the ferocious scowl on his face would have scared ten years off her life. With his arm in the air, he looked ready to break down her apartment door. She reached, got a fist full of shirt and hauled his butt inside. Which was no easy feat, since the man was rock solid. Refusing to stick her head out to see if her neighbors lined the hall, she slammed the door.

“Cassie. Are you alright?”

Mike’s face softened, but his chest heaved like he’d just run a marathon.

“My neighbors may call the cops. What were you thinking, pounding on my door like that?”

His brows drew together in a confused frown as his gaze slid slowly down and back up her body. “I thought you were in trouble.”

Realizing she stood practically naked with only a towel wrapped between them, she felt a rush of heat. Instead of desire, she saw his concern. Then his words sank in. She closed her eyes and shook her head.

“Did something happen?” he asked in a gentle voice, resting his hands on her shoulders.

“Yes. No. Oh, damn.” Her head fell to the side, longing to melt into him.

“Cassie. Look at me.”

She took a deep breath, inhaling tangy soap and musk cologne. When she lifted her gaze, pools of cobalt gleamed at her. She wanted to lose herself in their brilliance. Maybe he didn’t offer his love, but something fierce shone in their amazing depths. Caring, compassion, and desire … God, how she needed this man.

“Mike. Make love to me.” The towel forgotten, she slowly raised her arms.

Academy member Bonnie Clevering spent 50 years in Hollywood, designing
hair for dozens of stars including Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Kristen Stewart,
Al Pacino, and Jennifer Lopez under the direction of icons like Christopher
Nolan, Oliver Stone, and Steven Soderbergh. After uncovering an enormous stash
of production Polaroids and behind-scenes photos she took, Bonnie decided it
was time to tell some lovely stories about her time in Hollywood.

Continuity By Bonnie Clevering: Life Behind the Credits will be released on
Punctuate Press (distributed by APG) on September 9. It will uniquely come in
two formats: a paperback memoir, and a beautiful hardcover coffee table book
with hundreds of photos. While stories about Nancy Sinatra’s old wives
tale helping Bonnie get pregnant, making dinner for the Ocean’s Eleven
cast, and how hair creates character are certainly delightful, Bonnie also
shares deeply about being a woman in Hollywood, the consequences of saying
“no” (and “yes”), single motherhood, and legacy.

 

About the Author

Bonnie Clevering, in a nearly 5-decade career as a Motion Picture Hair
Stylist, has trussed the tresses of hundreds of actors including Hilary Swank,
Bette Davis, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves, and Kristen

Dolly!, RoboCop, Any Given Sunday, Ocean’s Eleven, Erin Brockovich, Office
Space, The Twilight Saga, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, totaling over 120
productions. She earned membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts &
Sciences in 2001.
