A boundary-bridging novel that will surprise, captivate, and move readers who thought they knew Hawaiʻi; an age-old story of healing a seared heart and finding home. Mauna Kea: A Novel of Hawai'i is a gripping tale of clashing passions—science and spirituality, vengeance and compassion, fear and courage—set atop Hawaiʻi’s 14,000-foot Mauna Kea, realm of revered goddesses and star-wise explorers. A young vagabond running from America’s turmoil is forced to confront his own grief and rage on an embattled holy mountain in the Pacific. There he encounters a mysterious domain of ancient mountain deities and the Native Hawaiians who revere them, including two wise elders who take him under their wings and a young woman with a world-weary heart akin to his own. Through his startling experiences with them—and a motley cadre of other islanders—he learns the power of aloha and discovers an untapped reservoir of faith and courage that rekindles his hope in himself and in the world we share. Includes an illustrated map and 12 original pen-and-ink drawings made especially for the novel by John D. Dawson.

In a parallel world, the British Hawaiian Islands sit between rival superpowers, Japan and the UK. Hellen takes her son on a sailing voyage to Hawaii, hoping to recapture the bond they once shared. Isolated at sea, the boat's crew is unaware of a catastrophic solar storm. Throughout the Pacific, power grids fail. Cities plunge into darkness. Seamlessly merging mind-bending questions with page-turning drama, Mauna Kea Rising is the first book in a new science fiction series. Science, Buddhism and romance converge in this intense adventure in the multiverse. "An exciting blend of multiverse and apocalypse played on a tropical stage." -- Nathan Lowell, Parsec Award winner and creator of the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper "I love the way Kelly weaves tech details--from sailing and power generation, to aviation and astronomy--into the action. SciFi fans will be very pleased with this read." -- D.J. Ward, author of Seven Wonders of Space Phenomena "Offers mystery, intrigue, subtle turnings, narrative twists, and inner reflections that challenge the status quo. Mauna Kea Rising envisions new possibilities, strained relationships, fears, confusion, courage, and curiosity. The story is multidimensional, alive, intriguing, and not over. Read, reflect, engage, and enjoy the ride..." -- F. W. Rick Meyers, author of Mystic Travelers: Awakening
