Local author Jacob Perry set out to write an action-packed epic story with a cast of fantastical characters from multiple universes whose journeys collide on one planet where they must battle against an advanced power greater than the God of Gods or be destroyed.

The main story has short stories within that gradually reveal the threads of each character's journey and their inner struggle between good and evil.

Meet Jacob to discover the complex heroes of his first book The Aetherial Construct, hear his writing journey and listen as he shares the books and the authors that inspired his love of reading science fiction and fantasy.

Reserve a copy of Jacob's book at your Library or purchase his book from The Book Connection. Wednesday April 6, 6.30-7.15pm at Dubbo Library. FREE. Bookings required. Light refreshments served. To book go to www.mrl.nsw.gov.au
