What is Luminary: Quantum Rising?

Luminary: Quantum Rising is a Young Adult Sci-Fi Adventure novel that follows a young warrior from the planet Stonit named Jason.

Jason comes to modern-day Earth to protect Humanity from malicious shape-shifters. Upon arriving to Earth, Jason is given a mysterious and powerful energy called the Quantum.

Can Jason learn how to use the Quantum before the villains threatening to doom Earth are successful in their mission?

WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NOVEL?

Growing up, my mom would tell me stories about coming to the United States from South America, and working hard to establish herself in a foreign country. I became inspired, and wanted to write a story about a character who travels to a distant world and traverses through complicated obstacles in order to survive. It was important for me to highlight the hard work immigrant families would put in, especially since it displays the sacrifices they are willing to take to make a better life for themselves.

Alongside this inspiration, I grew up watching superhero movies, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and becoming an avid reader of science fiction. Whenever a comic book or a novel would introduce me to an alien world, I always wanted to dabble in that creativity and create my own universe of characters.

Luminary: Quantum Rising blends my love of science fiction and my curiosity of immigration into an action-packed adventure about coming to a new world. If you’re a fan of superheroes, alien warfare, and fast, fun reads, then you’ll enjoy Luminary: Quantum Rising!

Who is the author?

My name is Ricardo Andrés, and I wrote Luminary: Quantum Rising at 13! I worked on the novel for 5 years, until I published it at 18, during my first year of college! I love writing, and hope to see my characters go on the silver screen, someday!

Alongside authoring, I program video games. My biggest title is DarkStorm, which can be downloaded for free on Steam!

Whenever I’m not working on a creative project, I am out having coffee with family, reading an awesome book, or shredding on the electric guitar!

I was born in San Jose, California, and currently live in Dublin, Ireland so I can get my BS in Computer Science.
