Forever Curious—Landing Page
Forever Curious
(Part 1 of the Forever duology.)
In an intellectual clash of galactic proportions, the biggest mystery in the Universe encounters the smartest girl from Earth. Na-Yeli Maya is humanity’s champion exploring the forbidding Enigmatic Object. She’s not truly alone, as her exosuit is armed with the most advanced quantum computer—and obnoxious digital assistant—ever, and her tri-schizoid condition enables her to call up her ultimate warrior and lateral thinker personas in times of dire need.
She has to traverse six different layers—each a world of its own—with unique wonders, challenges and dangers. Along the way, she partners with a stranded Moiety Alien and adopts a group of Hypersounders, as they make it all the way into the Core, where a naked singularity distorts reality. Why is it there? If only they could find a way to use its other-worldly qualities for their own purposes. . .

This is a tremendously impressive book! We get to ride along with Na-Yeli through an incredibly well conceived alien labyrinth.

An Intricately woven, intriguing space adventure…
—The Prairies Review;
This book was amazing. I enjoyed the thorough development of the story. It was fast paced and I can't wait for the sequel.

Good Story but Too Many Pages Devoted to Imaginative Technology.

If you’re a Sci-fi buff, like I am, this is one you shouldn’t miss.
—Francisco J.T. (reviewer, NetGalley);
I really enjoyed Forever Curious because it did pretty much what it said on the cover, I was endlessly curious about what de Vries would come up with to challenge the intrepid explorer and whilst there are no other speaking characters the interplay between the alien, and the three personalities (and the AI) all filled any seeming hole in the structure. The only thing I didn't like - well I didn't know it wouldn't be completed in the one book (its part one of two) and so as I got towards the end I was intrigued to see how it would end up. Not least because when you promise the secrets of the universe, that's pretty hard to deliver. Well I guess I'll see next year how hard it actually is to deliver or not.
