What people are saying
INTERWOVEN is a dramatic blend of human struggle and creative science speculation to tell the story of the first space mission to go beyond our solar system. Authors H.E. Wallace and Roi Qualls have given us a riveting peek into our future and left us with a lot to ponder. I recommend this book to anyone who is hopeful and/or concerned for human destiny.

If words were akin to wine, the beautifully detailed world of Interwoven could be described as carrying the exquisitely crafted undertones of Octavia Butler, the rich imagination of Ray Bradbury, while evoking the moral complexity so prevalent in the work of Ta-Nehisi Coates. Set in the not-so-distant future, the result of human-made mischief has culminated in a distressing predicament – we must prevail with untested space exploration, or perish. If humanity is to survive, it must do so at the hands of a man who is as brilliant as he is fragile, and for that reason, Interwoven’s dire dilemma and vividly imagined world feels not just theoretical, but deeply personal and surprisingly timely.

INTERWOVEN ignited my imagination with its precise world-building and sense of mystery. No one in this story has the benefit of the full picture, and the more they discover, the more questions arise. The result is a novel with enormous heart and a clear message for readers who are seeking to define their purpose and place in the world: If we really want to reach for the stars, we have to tell the truth about ourselves.

A vividly imagined work, this impressive novel will take readers on a breathtaking adventure into the future. The compelling characters, the suspense filled plot, the scintillating dialogue, the rich, jaw dropping descriptions, and the issues explored all make for enjoyable, thought-provoking reading. I wish for this book’s success; it deserves it.

Points of Failure, INTERWOVEN is a bold, beautifully written debut that imagines a fractured future shaped by the ethical failures of our past and present. Blending literary depth with speculative urgency, authors H.E. Wallace and Roi Qualls offer more than a gripping plot; it’s the kind of book that sparks conversation about how we heal, how we evolve, and how we collaborate across differences to build something more whole.

INTERWOVEN by H.E. Wallace & Roi Qualls is a powerful blend of science fiction and social commentary set in a future that feels disturbingly close. Earth is dying from the impact of human greed, indifference and falsehoods. We experience this through the life of the main character as he wrestles with his past, confronts the present, and discards everything he thought he knew to find hope for a future. It grabbed me in from the beginning and held me to the end. This is a profound, and beautiful read. I highly recommend it.

a perilous journey
In the year 2274 C.E., humanity faces extinction. A century and a half of global catastrophes has ravaged Earth, leaving it a dying planet. The oceans are barren, the soil contaminated, and the air thick with radiation.
Hope emerges with the Umoja Space Program, led by Dr. Tah Morant. The program’s goal is to escape Earth’s gravitational pull and find a new home among the stars. Dr. Morant’s revolutionary Deuteron engine is key to this audacious endeavor, promising faster-than-light space travel.
As the Umoja program prepares for its most ambitious mission, the world watches with bated breath. The fate of humanity rests on these brave pioneers, who must navigate the treacherous Dragon’s Gate and return safely. The success or failure of this mission will determine humanity’s survival.
