“...a compelling science fiction tale with post-apocalyptic undertones. There is a powerful sense of mystery—secrets hidden in ancient manuscripts and other worlds to explore. The Augur’s View is exciting, featuring an imaginary setting that goes far beyond the world we know.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews (5 STARS x4)

Eena, an Anunnaki/human hybrid, and her friend Gavin are among those abandoned on the surface after a coronal mass ejection. Even after surviving aircraft falling from the skies, raging winds, and unrelenting electrical storms, revulsion grips Eena when the new rulers offer her a rise in “status” by working in a lab to clone infants—the secret future workforce.

When Eena discovers at last the portal to ancient Mu, and finds the giant augurs that fly there, she enlists their help. It may be the last, best chance to achieve human sovereignty.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a compelling speculative/visionary tale, with post-apocalyptic elements, to bring the past full circle into the future, in this first book in the “New Earth Chronicles” series.. [DRM-Free]

“...a fast-paced story that embraces all kinds of social, political, moral, and ethical questions while remaining firmly rooted in the dreams, ambitions, and struggles of young people who reach for a better world. It’s a powerful opener to a hero’s journey in which the world beckons with new opportunity and danger, the promise of futuristic science and technology, and the dreams of survivors who both struggle and love on different levels.” ~ Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer

Product description

About the Author

AUTHOR: In seventh grade, Mrs. Trader inspired me both as a writer and a teacher. In her class, I learned I loved to write and that my classmates liked to hear my stories. Her spirited students engaged in dramatic performances, hands-on projects, and lively discussions-nothing like the poor subdued souls across the hall, managed by the teacher with long green eyes. So Mrs. Trader was my model when I started a school and set aside my writing-that is, until it dawned on me that tribes of children have loved learning by listening to stories for thousands of years. So I wrote about a million words that speak to head and heart, which I am still reading to my child listeners. But now I'm writing stories, my second million words, to speak to the heads and hearts of adult readers and listeners, and hoping my classmates will like them.

EDITOR: I was born a bibliophile, but it wasn't until high school that I discovered my knack for editing and decided I wanted to edit fiction. I love the feel of a book in my hands, and I may or may not be one of those crazy book sniffers. In my spare time (which is in short supply), I enjoy playing board games and card games with my husband and two teen boys, perusing antique shops, and, of course, reading. What I love most about editing is cultivating relationships with authors. I feel fortunate to be able to share in their creative vision as an editorial partner. I am inspired by their dedication and I enjoy helping them achieve their goals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written with many options to explore

Augur's view wasn't quite what I expected, but I went into it not expecting anything in particular, as I do with all my reads, and I'm happy to write that I was pleasantly surprised.
The book begins with mystery, a question to be answered which isn't quite clear. The author is particularly adept at laying down clues as the mystery unfolds, which makes the read more than enjoyable. However, as you read you realise this is, indeed, the beginning of something greater. If you're expecting a story in which all threads are wrapped up by end of book, you will be disappointed. If you read it as the beginning of a series, it will whet your appetite for more.
This book goes back and forth between straight story-building and quite elaborate world-building. The characters are very well defined and you'll know what to expect in upcoming books, though you'll find that the world-building is quite extensive. This works fantastically in the scheme of a series, of which this book is the introduction.
I found the base story to be more interesting than the world-building. In between those sections I found my hunger for knowledge of what intrigues were unfolding well satisfied, though each left me wanting for more, which isn't a bad thing.
If you're the kind of reader who likes their story well-planned and meticulous, this book is for you. Not only are the characters unique and interesting, the underlying story and mystery unfold at a good pace. Never too hurried, never too drawn-out.
All in all, I was very happy to have read the book and look forward to reading more. The ending leaves you with more questions than answers, but I believe that was the point. And, to be clear, I'm not suggesting this book was written simply to require you to purchase the next book. All of the hooks could be accepted as final and the book still delivers. Some questions, as they say, aren't meant to be answered, only to be pondered.
Take some time and enjoy this book. Even if you don't read any more of the series, you'll find your time well-spent and your investment worthwhile.
Well-written and well-paced, this is one book I've kept on my list to follow-up on, and one book I felt delivered on everything it promised, even if that was to keep me guessing about the true motivations behind many characters actions.
Very highly recommended and a masterwork when it comes to world and character building. You'll know who everyone is, what they want, and how they're probable to go about reaching, or achieving, their ends by the time the story closes. For a book which moves at both fast and slow pace, you won't find much better than this. Very well done and kudos to the author
Think of this book like the seed of a beautiful flower. The petals are threatening to bloom and they promise even more intrigue, relationship drama and mystery as they do

5.0 out of 5 stars Complex, interwoven storylines that tie together nicely
Reviewed in the United States on 20 March 2023

Auger's View is an interestingly complex entry into the YA/SFF canon as it blends multiple elements of the genre with others not characteristically seen here. A large cast of characters navigate different storylines as well as time frames and locations, making it impossible to guess what's coming next. At times, it seems as though there are too many characters, but there is clearly a reason for the large cast - that being that this is Book One of five (at this point). So, it feels necessary to introduce the many characters and ideas that will no doubt reappear in the rest of the series. this creates a desire to read on, knowing that these many through lines will continue and, as series work, be resolved here and there with new complications to carry us to the next book. But this first one indeed has it all! Giant birds that carry their human "pilots," holographic imagery, Medieval weaponry mixed with high-tech biometrics. It's all here - and so much more! Fans of this genre, and the mixed genres blended in, will no doubt find themselves caught up in a real page turner, hurriedly looking forward to the next installment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your usual post apocalypse
Reviewed in the United States on 11 May 2022

In a sci-fi and urban fantasy landscape crowded with post-apocalypse stories about civilization collapsing when a solar emp destroys the power grid & all electrical circuits, Victoria Lehrer brings us something new in The Augur's View. New but familiar, because she crafts it from elements of mythology, folklore, fringe conspiracy theories, quantum physics, and Aikido (among other things). Loss of mass media and the internet drives the shadowy cabal that controls human affairs into the open -- but while they seem to fit the popular conspiracy mold, there are hints something deeper is driving them, even using them. A DNA shift -- also triggered by the solar emp -- has caused many people formerly under their control to develop a new self-awareness: a sense of individuality and independence (which they call sovereignty). An aberration once easily quashed through social media is now a threat. A threat that is gathering forces, energies, and abilities from Mu, Native American spiritualism, higher levels of density (similar to other dimensions, realms, or planes of existence) and, most importantly, the basic goodness of which all people are capable. And it works, each piece of the story balances and supports the whole. Because this is the first book in a series (there are four volumes I know of and maybe more coming) much of what happens is clearly the foundation of future events. But all of these are bound together in a satisfying novel that stands well on its own.

Welcome to the future and the past. The Solar Flash was a cataclysm and a catalyst, tearing apart our modern technology, revealing mysteries long hidden from view, and unlocking something even more powerful. With settings ranging from a fantastic past to a broken near-future, Victoria Lehrer's post-apocalyptic vision brings the best of science fiction, fantasy, history mythology and folklore to bear in a very human story about fighting for what matters. The cast includes reluctant heroes, plucky survivors ancient mystics, and a few all-too-human faces of evil working against them.

For fans of dystopian fantasy, this book is the perfect introduction to the world of The New Earth Chronicles. It is imaginative and immersive, providing plenty to explore for casual and hard-core fans of the genre. "The truth burns away deception".

5.0 out of 5 stars “Auger’s View” is a page-turning good read.
Reviewed in the United States on 24 October 2022

Victoria Lehrer combines magic, science and science fiction to create an extraordinary new world. She invents such a logical, compelling world scenario, I instantly believed and recognized it. Aspects of our current familiar world sprinkled through the stage-setting make this new world welcoming, yet terrifying. I was intrigued by the author’s weaving of all the evils of our current world, including reliance on packaged snack food, into the factors that created society’s undoing!

Luckily Ms. Lehrer also creates heroic characters trying their best to overcome their own fears and shortcomings to join forces and combat the rulers of this dystopian world. The interlacing of all of the characters and the fast moving plot kept me turning page after page. The joy of realizing the next book in the series already waits for me tempered my disappointment that I finished the book!
