We made a mistake! The generator did its job, but the energy produced was too vast and too unstable. The wave triggered some sort of resonance effect that wound up leveling every structure within the park as well as scorching the fortress walls. The blast reflected off the walls and rolled back, wiping out everything above ground. Luckily, I was in the museum below ground, in the large white room that contains one of the ancient predator holograms, and that spared me the agony my colleagues must have suffered.
Still, have I really been spared? Every room around me, except for this one, has collapsed. I am trapped down here until someone comes to my rescue.
It may not matter. Two days ago, the doctors informed me I have contracted the tasun illness and do not have long. I fear the experts were too optimistic about the prospects for containing this virus. My hunch is that the tasun will continue to spread, exponentially, and that our entire civilization is in imminent jeopardy. Sester save us! I only wish I had been able to stop it. I hope to see you again my friend, but if I do not, then this is farewell.
Your colleague and friend,
Dr. Randa Lanki

Sanyel is my debut novel and the first in a young adult series that details the adventures of Sanyel and her friends. Sanyel’s story continues with Disrupter, the second book in the series. Thank you for purchasing this book; I hoped you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. Please consider giving it a rating or posting a review online, as I would welcome and appreciate your feedback.
