Description

Meet James Cambias, hear all about his newest book, The Godel Operation! Join us at Beausoleil Books on Wednesday Sep. 22 at 6pm for a happy hour with James Cambias. This Louisiana-raised author now resides in New England, but is excited to visit Acadiana’s newest independent bookstore during his upcoming visit. James will be reading an excerpt from his newest book, The Godel Operation. This book is science fiction at its sense-of-wonder best. A wild chase through the billion worlds of the Tenth Millennium in search of a mythical weapon that could save civilization—or doom it! Daslakh is an AI with a problem. Its favorite human, a young man named Zee, is in love with a woman who never existed — and he will scour the Solar System to find her. But in the Tenth Millennium a billion worlds circle the Sun—everything from terraformed planets to artificial habitats, home to a quadrillion beings. Daslakh's nicely settled life gets more complicated when Zee helps a woman named Adya escape a gang of crooks. This gets the pair caught up in the hunt for the Godel Trigger, a legendary weapon left over from an ancient war between humans and machines—which could spell the end of civilization. In their search, they face a criminal cat and her henchmen, a paranoid supermind with a giant laser, the greatest thief in history, and a woman who might actually be Zee's lost love. It's up to Daslakh to save civilization, keep Zee's love life on the right track—and make sure that nobody discovers the real secret of the Godel Trigger. This event will be completely free, and we encourage you to support Beausoleil Books and James Cambias by purchasing a copy of The Godel Operation in store or via our affiliate, Bookshop. More than just a local bookstore, Beausoleil Books hopes to bring the Acadiana community closer and create space for togetherness.
