The Provider Exists. Sentient machines have a soul. Ignorance threatens to destroy both of them.

Stalling and Steffor inhabit different worlds, yet they are connected. Together, but unbeknownst to one of them, they race towards an inevitable, if unimaginable collision.

As a Guardian, Steffor protects the Provider’s Citizens from a host of dangers inherent to a world of perpetual wilderness. When not serving as a resident hero, Steffor spends his time training for the Dive. Qualified for this season's championship, manifesting his future fame seems certain, if not for events manifesting a different future for Steffor and his peaceful society. A future in direct lockstep with destiny. On Antium, artificial intelligence fast approaches the point of exceeding human intelligence. Despite its aggressive development and implementation of technology over the past century, hubris hinders the Church of Salvation from seeing the Singularity's inevitable arrival, much less process its implications on the future. The lethal weakness of their enemy identified, Stalling Alterian and his cadre of gifted conspirators accelerate the Singularity’s arrival to lead a fertile insurrection against the merciless theocracy. Committed to saving their society, or die trying, moments away from completing the crucial and final phase of their clandestine mission, Stalling discovers a fatal error in his calculations that threatens to destroy it all. Absent of any solution and the enemy closing in, can Stalling impose his technological miracle onto humanity before the noose pulls tight?

Praise for KNOWN AFTERLIFE:

“…more of a profound level of meaning than we read in other novels in this genre.” Grady Harp, Amazon.com Top 50 Reviewer, Vine Voice, Hall of Fame Reviewer

"Bravo! Brilliant and Intricate...Copeland does an expert job of reminding us that reality is what we make it and our beliefs, allegiance and loyalty are ours alone to give." Jay Mittener, Amazon.com Top 500 Reviewer

"All is can say is--Interesting!... At the end of the book, I found myself doing a lot of soul searching." Karma, Amazon.com Reviewer

“An intelligent and entertaining funfest…Copeland assumes that I have come to his book with imagination and the desire to enter a new creation, and he definitely delivers the goods. Well, done!” bertiejf's, Amazon.com reviewer

“Thought-provoking and exciting…a surprisingly deep exploration of the role of religion in society…that isn't heavy-handed or evangelical, primarily because we get two very different takes on it, which keeps one viewpoint from dominating.” T. February, Amazon.com reviewer

5,0 su 5 stelle Well Written Look At Religion From Both Sides Of The Coin
Recensito in Canada il 18 giugno 2013
Acquisto verificato
Worlds and lives often cross, and this is very true in “Known Afterlife”. On one hand you have a Guardian who will fight to his last breath for his world, and on the other hand you have Stalling who is battling organized religion in an attempt at freedom for his planet.

Though there are essentially two different story lines, that wind together and show that there really is no good or bad side to religion, just religion and belief itself, the author does quite well in defining each story line and making it all a very interesting, involving read.

By the time you are done reading, you may yourself be questioning your own self, and what makes you you, what you would fight against or stand for, and your personal stance on organized religion as a whole.

Though I am not religious by any means I found that I could still relate to the story and would recommend it to others looking to support a first time author.

Known Afterlife is incredibly well written. The plot is intriguing and richly developed. The story is fleshed out and very nuanced. Despite this, it is never complicated or hard to read. The writing is gripping and fast paced. Rather than just describing the events, the author really immerses you in the environment. It is easy to get lost in the story, and you will feel like you have been transported to an entirely different world.

This novel is unique in that it has two distinct story lines. The majority of the narrative is focused on a Guardian who is determined to fight and preserve his world. His is a world rich in nature and lush with various unique and magical creatures.

The second plot focuses on a man called Stalling. Stalling is a successful business man who longs to learn and grow. He aspires to improve his life and make his world, the planet Antium a better place. There is only one problem with his ambition, however. The problem is the Church of Salvation which maintains an iron clad grip on the planet and rigidly controls every facet of it's citizens existence.

The brilliance of the two story lines is how they showcase two sides of the same coin. On one side, the Guardian struggles to maintain a utopia where everyone is free to explore their own spirituality. On the other, a man must risk everything to live his own life and for the chance to give others the same autonomy in the face of the pervasive and rigidly controlling organized religion. In the end, it doesn't matter which religion is being discussed. Many people fight over spiritual views, but the exact nature of the theology is not as important as many believe. What is important is the people behind the theology. Religion is as good or as bad as the people involved in it, and the most important thing is not the specific viewpoints, but rather what the religion is being used for.

This is a very powerful book. The story is gripping and immersive, the writing is brilliant and well paced, and the whole thing is intelligent, thought provoking, and exciting. Known Afterlife is definitely a must read. It is easy to read, but it is also quite intellectual and involved. It is best read if you set aside time for it. It is time well spent, and if you have the time, I highly recommend this book!

3,0 su 5 stelle Fascinating novel that could have benefited from a little background information
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 dicembre 2013

Known Afterlife is the story of Stalling and Steffor. Stalling is a Guardian from the arboreal planet the Provider. His life is dedicated to protecting the denizens of the planet. Stalling comes from the a technocratic society ruled over by a ruthless theocratic government known as the Church of Salvation. He is part of a group of conspirators seeking to overthrow the Church of Salvation. These two characters from vastly different worlds are tied together by destiny as their lives intertwine.

Trey Copeland builds a fantasy world that’s deep and tremendously interesting. Unfortunately the plot fails to fill the reader in on many of the finer details of the universe Copeland has created. Terms and jargon consistently turn up without any explanation confusing the reader. This book would have benefited from a glossary giving background on many of the entities existing in the Known Afterlife universe.

2,0 su 5 stelle Compelling plot, but confusing and poorly edited
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 19 marzo 2014

The author, Trey Copeland, has created two compelling worlds in this book, but the first third of the trilogy is confusing beyond belief. He doesn't pull those two worlds together until, literally, the final sentence of the book. I spent the entire book being jerked from one universe to another without the slightest idea what was going on in either -- buoyed up by the hope that the next chapter would be the one to make things clear.

I'm writing this review because I think at least one reviewer should make it clear that the frustration factor is very high in this first installment. If you plan to read all three books, perhaps that's not a big concern. As for me, I feel strung along for an entire book.

Another thing I don't see mentioned in the reviews is the lack of editing, in particular sound-alike words and common phrases the author simply gets wrong. The author has an extensive vocabulary, making it odd to see so many word choice and similar errors.

For instance: "Then" used in place of than, "site" for sight, "strait" for straight, "mix words" for mince words, "withdraw" for withdrawal, "bi-product" for byproduct, "recluse" for reclusive, "discrete" for discreet, "change tact" for change tack, "alright" for all right (always 2 words, just like all wrong), "fruit-baring" for fruit-bearing, "teaming" for teeming & "deep seeded fear" for deep-seated fear. He also has problems with "illusive," "elusive" and "allusive."

These are just SOME of the errors in the first 1/3 of the book. There are many, many more.

4,0 su 5 stelle A Mind-Bending Adventure That Leaves You Pondering Existence
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 febbraio 2015
Acquisto verificato
When I began the novel, I immediately felt lost, which was obviously intentional, because it made me pay close attention to every detail, trying to parse the meaning between the lines, as this strange setting was so unlike our own, yet relatively unexplained by the author. It was a surreal experience, lacking the exposition that so many other novels are founded on. I wasn't irritated, but rather, intrigued. Furthermore, the premise of the story was fascinating, particularly due to a personal interest in artificial intelligence and the crash course it may have with humanity's future. Add some theocracy, anarchy, and general chaos to the picture, and you have a stunning and enveloping story that does deliver. Granted, the lack of backstory was a bit difficult and I felt lost more than I would have liked, but Copeland created a world and dropped the reader into it, which can be exciting in and of itself. There were some editing issues, and a few sections were a bit....contrived, might be the best word, but generally, this was an excellent and exhilarating tale that may not be so far from our future. Obviously, the science fiction and fantasy elements make it "impossible" to a certain degree, but one can't help but feel moved and disturbed by some of the book's implications, especially when so much was left unanswered at the conclusion. I'm loathe to start a series and not finish it, and Copeland certainly has the talent to warrant more of my time as a reader with rather high standards. Excellent job overall, and I look forward to see what comes next!
