SLEEPING GIANTS
Book One of the Themis Files
Already optioned in a six figure preempt by Sony, already given a starred review and named one of the Best Indie Books of 2014 by Kirkus, THE THEMIS FILES is one of those books you buzz through, unable to put down, with a premise that's entirely compelling and fascinating and, as important, a sheer joy to read. David Koepp (one of the most prominent Hollywood screenwriters he penned the scripts for Spider-Man and Angels & Demons among others) has signed on to be the screenwriter for SLEEPING GIANTS.
17 years ago, a young girl named Rose fell through the ground in the Black Hills and found herself in a chamber filled with gleaming symbols, lying in the palm of a giant metal hand. Now a physicist, Rose leads a research team struggling to determine the hand's origins. When another giant limb is discovered, Rose quickly devises a method for unearthing the hidden pieces, convinced there is an entire body out there waiting to be found. This is a hunt for truth, power, and giant body parts. Written as a series of interview transcripts, journal entries and mission logs (reminiscent of ROBOPOCALYPSE or WORLD WAR Z), THE THEMIS FILES tells the tale of a handful of people whose lives are inexorably linked by the discovery of an alien device and the commotion that follows.
Sylvain Neuval holds a Doctorate in Linguistics and, in his words, finds that his main interests are 'word-based morphology, computational morphology, as well as formal and lexical semantics and most of my current work focuses on a formal characterization of polysynthesis, compounding and agglutination in word-based morphological terms.' He built the robot on the cover he designed at www.thethemisfiles.com.
