Masterfully crafted by T.S. Littlefield, ‘Nebulous: Jet Black Book One’ urges young readers to think about what humanity stands for, what its capabilities are and what may be waiting “out there”. This bold exploration takes place through a thrilling sci-fi adventure that calls on real-world philosophy and theology; a thought-provoking brand of entertainment that is becoming a hallmark of Littlefield’s style.

Washington, UT -- (SBWire) -- 04/07/2015 --While nobody will deny young adult fiction's recent boom in popularity, both readers and critics are crying out for wholly unique new narratives that don't succumb to recycling of the 'same-old' concepts. Thankfully, author T.S. Littlefield has stepped up to the plate with gusto, through a powerful new series that fuses spellbinding entertainment with an exploration of humanity's true potential.

It all starts with 'Nebulous', volume one of the 'Jet Black' series; an edge-of-the-seat invite down humanity's eternal path.

Synopsis:

Three years after losing his father in a fire, thirteen year old Jethro Black (his friends call him Jet) finds himself embarking upon a mysterious adventure when, while attending his grandfather's funeral, a strange man walks up and gives him an envelope, and a key.

As a mystery begins to unfold, Jet and his best friend Travis are about to discover that there is more to the world than meets the eye, and they just may have a crucial role to play in the outcome of humanity's future.

"I firmly believe that we are not alone in the universe, and I am now giving readers an opportunity to search for and consider the evidence that proves it – through a novel that also stands alone as pure entertainment," explains Littlefield. "Is there evidence of a divine plan at work? Can we, if we look deep enough, define what humanity really is and discover what is in store? In my new series, young minds will be drawn through enchanting fiction that presents these questions in a subtle manner."

Continuing, "This book's unique premise was also purposefully designed to be a starter book for young adults looking to ignite a lifetime's passion for reading; something that will sharpen their mind, expand their horizons and ultimately enlighten their possibilities. Those just wanting a good solid story with adventure, intrigue, and the classic struggle between good and evil, will also be left far from disappointed."

Readers agree, leaving a slew of positive reviews. Becca Quinlan comments, "I read a lot more fantasy than Sci-Fi when I was a young adult, and I have to say I wish I had picked up something like this when I was younger. 'Nebulous' has a super interesting plot rooted in the best of modern Sci-Fi. T.S. Littlefield is giving us just a glimpse of the complex universe he (she?) created for the Jet Black series, and it's looking very promising. Many young adult authors are downright lazy in creating a complex and engaging world for their characters, thinking their audience would hold their stories to a lower standard. Littlefield is paving the way for some very high quality young adult Sci-Fi stories."

Tulsi Esplin adds, "It is refreshing to read a book that has mystery, intrigue and suspense now a days.

I enjoyed this book and closed my door so I could read nonstop. The Author was able to establish characters that I want to meet again. I will be coming back to know more about Jet Black!!"

About T.S. Littlefield
On Wednesday September 8 1966, NBC aired the first episode of Star Trek, and T.S. Littlefield was only thirteen days old. Unlike Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) who "came in with Halley's Comet," and predicted he would "go out with it," (which he did!) T.S. Littlefield loves the fact that he "came in with Stark Trek," but makes no such claims as to going out with it, whenever that may be, and is always happily surprised to see a new Star Trek movie hit the box office.

His parents divorced when he was three years old, dragging him through one custody battle after another. These turbulent beginnings prompted him to start using his imagination to create his own realities within himself. He created various fantasy worlds where his parents didn't hate one another or use him as a weapon in an ongoing custody conflict that ended up lasting over ten years.

At the age of ten, His mother picked him up for her scheduled visitation and the next thing he knew, he was sitting in a first class seat on a flight to Seattle Washington. "She was kidnapping me!" He said, "But I didn't care, I was glad to be with my mom. I remember her laying a book in my lap."

The book his mother gave him, was Jonathan Livingston Seagull, by Richard Bach. This amazing story of adventure and spirituality had a profound effect on his young life and helped to shape the way he viewed the world around him.

He still loved science fiction however, and like most kids his age, he read all the comic books he could get his hands on. He also loved the work of Rod Sterling and never missed an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Fast forward to the nineties in which he married his sweetheart Rachel, and started working as a heavy equipment operator. "Not long after that is when my imagination started running away with me," he said, "and I began thinking up stories. When you're on a piece of heavy equipment for hours on end every day, alone with your thoughts with no one to talk to, your mind naturally starts to wander. I was already quite the daydreamer anyway."

It was mid-2013 and he was now a father of four wonderful children when he finally decided to start writing the story of Jethro Black. "I was just going to write it all as one book and call it Jet Black, but soon it became apparent that this story would be better told in a series, so my wife came up with the name Nebulous for the first book and I loved it!"

Nebulous was published in November of 2014 and T.S. Littlefield is busy working on the next book in the series.
