The Earth Dwellers Synopsis

The Earth Dwellers is the 4th book in BOTH The Dwellers Saga and The Country Saga. The author recommends that BOTH series are read in their entirety before reading this book (The Moon Dwellers, The Star Dwellers, The Sun Dwellers, Fire Country, Ice Country, Water & Storm Country).

Your favorite Dwellers and Country Saga characters come together in this epic seventh book!

As President Borg Lecter threatens to annihilate the Country tribes in order to expand his glass-domed empire, Adele ventures into the belly of the beast. Her only hope of survival is the consolidation of Dwellers and Country power before it’s too late.

Former demagogue President Nailin is eliminated, yet civil unrest infects every alliance. To save Adele, President Tristan faces his greatest challenge yet: unifying unfriendly Dwellers in the Tri-Realms to raise an army against Lecter. Meanwhile, Dazz must convince the Ice Country leaders to march with Siena and the Tri-Tribes on the gates of the Glass City.

The world sits on the edge of a knife. Will Adele, Tristan, Dazz, and Siena defeat Lecter and his army of killers before the Glassies wipe them off the face of the Earth?


THANK YOU!!!
As usual, I have too many people to thank that I can't possibly list them all here, but I have to thank my wife, Adele, for being my biggest supporter and for believing in me even when I don't.

I also want to thank all the readers out there who have taken a chance on an known author and sent the Dwellers and Country books into the Amazon Kindle genre bestseller lists! You all have changed my life in all the best kinds of ways. In particular, the 1,700+ members of my Goodreads Fan Group, which has grown by another 400 since the last book I released! You all are AMAZEBALLS!!

My beta reading team rocked once again, challenging me to make my book WAY better than it would have been. There are THREE EXTRA points of view in the last chapter because of your feedback! And to my Street Team, particularly our fearless leader, Kelly, WOW! Just WOW! You all have made a GINORMOUS difference in the last few months, getting my books out to so many bloggers and new fans. Without you I'd be writing for no one but myself.

A big thank you to Tony Wilson at Winkipop Design for one again creating a remarkably perfect cover for a Dwellers book. The four books together are amazing and I constantly get positive feedback on them. You're an ARTIST!

Finally, to ALL 75 bloggers (biggest blog tour yet!) who are participating in The Earth Dwellers Blog Blast, THANK YOU!! You people are so freaking cool I'm in awe that I even know you. Keep on blogging the way you do!

That's it, I hope you all enjoy final chapter in the Dwellers/Country 7 book saga, The Earth Dwellers. And don't forget to tell your friends all about the series, I'm always looking for some new readers and friends!

HAPPY READING!!

David Estes

How to Read the Dwellers and Country Sagas


As the release of the 7th and final book, The Earth Dwellers, in my combined Dwellers/Country Sagas looms closer, I'm getting tons of questions on how to read the combined series. Do you read all three Dwellers books, and then the Country Saga? Or can you read the Country Saga first, and then the Dwellers series? Or, if you're feeling particularly crazy, can you alternate reading a book in each series until you get to the end?

The Answer: Those are all valid options!

The way it works is that the Dwellers and Country Sagas are sister series, which means that they take place in the same overall world (sort of) and time (mostly), but that the characters, settings, and plotlines are completely different. They're different series, so to speak.

HOWEVER...

At some point THE TWO SERIES COME TOGETHER! That's right, the characters meet, the plots merge, the action of both series becomes one book, called The Earth Dwellers, which comes out on September 5th everywhere ebooks are sold and in print on Amazon.com.

So the short answer is that you can read the books in any order that you want, and they won't spoil each other. There's no real benefit to reading either one of the series first. So just pick the first one that looks interesting, and get reading! And don't stop until you've read all six books in the two series and you're ready for the release of The Earth Dwellers. Trust me, it's going to be epic!!

Here's a full list of the books you need to read to catch up:
 
The Dwellers Saga:
1- The Moon Dwellers
2- The Star Dwellers
3- The Sun Dwellers
 
The Country Saga:
1- Fire Country
2- Ice Country
3- Water & Storm Country

ENJOY and I can't wait to see your reviews of each book on Goodreads and Amazon.com!!!
