The Kikiloa Chronicles: A Literary Science Fiction Novel of Time Travel, Magical Realism and an Irrepressible Mitochondrial Eve

As a time surfer flickering across a trillion universes, Kiki is determined to discover an antidote to entropy before everything meaningful is lost.And now she’s a freckled fourteen-year-old trickster bounding across a San Francisco park to meet her kind and grounded friend Hazel, who Kiki believes can cause even death to pass people by. Probably.When a cliff collapses beneath them and Kiki vanishes mid-fall, Hazel is left alone with their attacker to begin her contemporary coming-of-age, while Kiki’s hopes unravel back to the trauma of her bleak beginnings as outcast and slave in a dystopian prehistoric world.But Kiki never lets up, whether lamenting a Hawaiian tsunami, alchemizing sniper attacks, telling quantum stories, weaving through highway pileups, going Jungian, or baking perfectly average cookies. And throughout, she spars with her infuriating, enigmatic mentor Paha, who believes surfing is elegy: all waves break, and fighting the end only creates suffering.The Kikiloa Chronicles is Erik D. Larson’s emotionally vast, funny, and wild speculative literary debut, carried by Kiki’s unmistakable voice from the devastating loneliness of her first life to the hard wisdom of friendship. Irrepressible and imperfect, she wrestles with love, a force like gravity, alive at the core of a universe destined for darkness.Circe meets The Midnight Library by way of Ursula K.
