Release Announcement!

(Click on cover to order)

I'm happy to anounce that the sequel to my HAVAH novel is now available for order on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions.

It has been an intense journey of plotting, planning, and putting into words the narratives of this second volume. I have entered the book to Reader's Favorites under the science fiction category, and was given the following review:

Keng Tiong has outdone himself in the second book of the series. The sequel begins shortly after the final acts of the previous novel, but the author’s use of strategically placed flashbacks creates compelling continuity arcs that enable readers new to the series to follow this thought-provoking adventure as either a standalone or a continuation. His creative storytelling style blends a gradual pace with futuristic world-building to craft a riveting tale that will captivate action enthusiasts and science fiction purists alike.

Don't take my words or that of the reviewer's. Download and read it for free with Kindle's Unlimited subscription. Then let me know what you think. My wife who supported me on this lonely journey of book writing, is looking forward to reading your honest reviews.

Take care and stay safe, my friends!

HAVAH The Sequel

It's been over a year since I published my first novel. Much has happened in terms of technological advancement in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, neuroscience, and quantum computing.

At the same time, I have been contemplating on a sequel. What would be an appropriate story to continue the HAVAH saga following the dissolution of STRATOS, after the devastation inflicted on the team during their last fateful mission?

As usual, I needed a visual to give me a direction, and the best way to go about it is to design the cover for the sequel novel. Here's the preliminary design with a book blurb:



There you have it: HAVAH - Beyond Humanity.

Readers who have read my blog or novel will probably guess who the villian I have in mind for my next story. But I'm not going to divulge anything yet, since I'm still deciding on the overall plot and characters. I will also try to expand the geographical boundaries and not restrict myself to just the USA, since the sequel title implies it will affect the future of humanity in a very technological sense.

Having an engineer mindset, I'm more inclined to write a realistic sci-fi genre. Old habits die hard, you know.
