INTERWOVEN, the highly anticipated inaugural volume in the Points of Failure series by H.E. Wallace and Roi Qualls, plunges into the post-conflict world of 2275 where humanity faces its starkest choice: escape or perish. With only 85 years remaining before Earth can no longer support human life, the Umoja-19 mission must not fail. When things do not go as planned it falls to Chief Scientist Dr. Tah Morant to figure out why his Deuteron engine has failed and how to fix it. But nothing is as it seems. Dr. Morant's efforts are complicated by personal tensions, childhood trauma, fickle friendships, and brittle intimacies of marriage. To make matters worse, he must steer clear of danger and political intrigue while navigating with a moral compass clouded by corporate bureaucracy and personal vendettas.
This isn't merely science fiction; it's a profound odyssey into social and personal transformation, the relentless pursuit of justice, and the deep spiritual metamorphosis required for our very survival. As one reviewer eloquently puts it, INTERWOVEN crafts a "beautifully detailed world," carrying "the exquisitely crafted undertones of Octavia Butler," in its unflinching examination of complex human nature and the intricate cultural structures that persist even after global accord has seemingly abolished war. This painful journey mirrors the caterpillar's radical metamorphosis-a necessary dissolution of the old form for a completely new existence.
INTERWOVEN reflects on our complicity, our courage, and the choices we face in shaping what comes next for planet earth. This isn't a dystopian warning or a utopian escape, but a vital call to self-examination and transformation, particularly in the face of the calamities--physical, cultural, spiritual, political--shaping our current reality.

About the Author
Roi Qualls conceived his first novel, INTERWOVEN, in 2013, and it would not leave his mind. A decade later, he retired from his career as a database architect to bring it to life with co-author H.E. Wallace. Together, they launched Knowetix in 2023-a creative collaborative rooted in storytelling, spirituality, and the vision of a just and unified future. Roi studied philosophy and education at Earlham College before moving into software development. Over the years, he co-founded several startups-some were successful, others not so much - but all held important life lessons.Deeply committed to community building, Roi actively supports efforts to advance racial harmony and justice. He lives in beautiful Yellow Springs, Ohio, with Linden, his wife of 45 years. They have two daughters and four grandchildren who bring them daily clarity and joy.Amid a busy life, Roi finds peace in the company of the wildlife in his backyard and hope in the belief that stories-honest, courageous ones-can move hearts, shift thinking, and give strength in the struggle to shape a better world.
