This is book One in the Gaia’s Voice Series. It is a well written apocalyptic sci-fi, set in the future. It is very descriptive, and the details are beautiful, you will love where your imagination takes you. The Hopi people have long known that this world will end, and the earth will be reborn into the fifth world. The characters are so well done, with deep family relationships with their people and the earth and animals. Definitely give this book a try you won’t be disappointed.

I liked the sound of this from the blurb but it wasn’t really a book I enjoyed. Bits of it were really good like the message about how we affect the earth and environment around us; that really resonated with me. It made me think about my actions towards the earth. Gaia is a sentient being who is an environmental attorney who works for the Hopi people. The Hopi people know the world is gonna end and enlist Gaia to help them go into the fifth age. Gaia leads the people to a new planet but not everybody makes it. It’s not a series I will be continuing unfortunately.

This was an interesting read! I really like that the author gave a character list that even included descriptions and occupation. This definitely helped with the in-depth writing style of the author. This story takes place in the future and really makes you think. The story is very detailed and has a lot of descriptive writing. As with any good story there is some controversy amongst some of the characters that has to be overcome. You really have to know who you can trust when the world is ending. I am looking forward to book 2! This was a good start to the series!

This book was a real inspirational read, which focused on the importance of caring for the planet and the consequences of failing to do so. It was a great example of how the world may become if we are not more conscientious of how we are treating the resources that we are given, and that we shouldn’t take for granted all of the beauty around us. The characters were so wonderfully crafted, each one having an important role in bringing the cause to light, and the importance of teamwork in accomplishing the goals that the people are working to accomplish, which is to travel to a new world where they may get a restart. It’s so unfortunate that where there is a good cause in the works, that there are always people who will do whatever it takes to put a stop to the progress that is being made. This group made up of well-to-do people as well as the military decide that instead of helping get rid of the group who are making their lives more difficult, and allowing them to go to the new world, it is far better to intervene and prevent the trip from happening and then to hunt down those seeking solace and deal with them in their own ways. What a great read, expect the unexpected, and you’ll still be surprised by the outcomes that await everyone. @Brandy Rymer 1/2024

I love the concept, I love that Gaia is speaking to them and that her speaking to them isn’t a new thing, it’s something that’s been going on (for some) for years. The author gives a character list at the beginning of the book which is great to be able to go back to check out but it did bother me a tad that there were so many. I feel it’s just harder to connect with a character when there’s so many POVs to keep up on. I love how these people connect and work so well with each other, it was amazing when they saved the ship and I really liked the part of them needing to be outside with Adelphi for healing. With the bad blood between them and the military it was nice to see them be civil with each other. It was a nice spiritual community book.

This is the first book that I have read by Renee W. Peek and color me impressed. First off going by the cover I thought this was going to be a peaceful style read, like a self discovery book but man after reading the description then the book it was a total 180. This book was filled with dystopian, end-of-the-world action, hope, tension, and top notch drama. As the book went on the more I loved it. I also loved the characters (most lol) and the amazing worlds the author has built (with great in depth details)really made the story pop off the page, playing like a movie. I really enjoyed that some characters can speak to gaia, I thought that was interesting. The multiple POV was awesome too, I often find myself wondering how the other characters were feeling and thinking this helps. I HIGHLY recommend reading this story.. I’m already on the way to read the next book of this series. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This is the first book in Gaia’s Voice Series. It is a sci fi story based on the end of our world as we know it and the creation of the next world. The authors attention to detail is what really brings this story to life for me. The description and images are painted so well that you could actually imagine these things occuring. What I also loved what how their was a spiritual connection to everything as well. Learning about other cultures as well as their thoughts and feelings on the spiritual connections between the earth and all living beings on it was a really interesting part of this book for me.
Maddison Bear’s Heart is an environmental lawyer. She is always fighting to protect the earth from the fate of being destroyed by human hands. When she is approached by 2 women from the Hopi people they inform her that the world is going to end and Maddison is the person to guide them to the next world.
When Maddison finally accepts the task she is informed that the Earth’s sister planet will welcome them so with the help of the Corporate Military they set off to find this new world. However the Corporate Military have their own agenda and they aren’t helping Maddison and the environmental protesters out of the kindness of their hearts, this is the chance they have been waiting for to get rid of the protesters once and for all.
Will the group heading to the new planet even make it? What will happen to the people they have left behind? Will anyone survive when the world ends?
This is a brilliant thought provoking story that I really enjoyed. I look forward to seeing what else this author has in store.

4 Stars Hope For A New World (Gaia’s Voice Series) by Renee W Peek
Hope For A New World (Gaia’s Voice Series) is a Sci-Fi Fantasy that is told in many different POV with multiple characters. I honestly didn’t know what to expect going in but I was intrigued by the cover and the blurb caught my attention. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and just felt like it bounced around to much. I really wanted to like this story but just didn’t. I’m hoping the next book will capture for me what this on one lacked. I will say I found this book to be very interesting and some of the information was new to me. This author is fairly new to me and even though this book didn’t make the cut im still looking forward to what the rest of this series turns out to be. If you like Sci-Fi Fantasy then id recommend reading this book.

Hope For A New World (Gaia’s Voice Series) by Renee W Peek. This is a sci -fi, fantasy novel which is not my favorite genre but I really enjoyed this book. It tackles the topic of the environment and the place we all play in the destruction of it. Its the story of Maddison Bear’s Heart who has just become a environmental lawyer and its at the perfect time. The Hopi people believe the Earth is ending as we know it and they need Maddison to speak to Gaia, Mother Earth. They find out there is another plant willing to take them but they have to leave some behind. Along with selfish wants of others the people on the spaceship are in danger. Just like in the real world there are snakes that will take you down along the way, the same is said for this spaceship. Will Maddison be able to help them get the message they need to Gaia and will Gaia take heed to save the place they love. This is a book you need to pay attention to because there are a lot of moving parts and if you don’t pay attention you might get lost but invest in it because it is such a great story!

I am pretty picky when it comes to Science Fiction. It was never my cup of tea growing up and only recently have found a few books or series that actually grabbed me and didn’t let go. I am now adding this book to that list. For me, there is something so intriguing about a dystopian, end-of-the-world epic that makes the reader question the future of the planet. I can’t say enough about the descriptive writing and vibrant characters this author created. This is the first book I’ve read from this author, and I have to say that I’m excited it’s the first in a series. The story takes place over one hundred years into the future and the more you read, the more invested you become and more questions you ask yourself. The story is led by strong female characters, which I always appreciate, and the message it delivers is a stark, eye-opening possibility. You will definitely want to continue following the journey of Maddison Bear’s Heart into the next books.

This novel is set in the future, a little bit more than a hundred years from now. It is an apocalyptic tale featuring Earth, and a sister planet. It features many indigenous characters. I really like learning snippets of other cultures. The characters have deep family relationships. Don’t skip out on this book!

This is a futuristic, sci-fi fantasy of the end of Earth due to human wastefulness and consumption. An environmental attorney is chosen to lead everyone through the coming of the fifth world. Strong, female characters with an underlying message about protecting what we have.

This was an interesting book and the author is new to me. As we don’t know when this world will end or where we will end up this was an interesting take on what could happen in the future. I’m not usually into sci-fi type books, but this one really kept my attention.

This sci fi fiction and fantasy book takes place in the future, 100 years from now, when we have done enough damage to the environment. Maddison Bear’s Heart, an environmental lawyer, is assigned a task to speak to Gaia, mother Earth by the Hopi people. When they come to know that a new planet is ready to welcome them, they board a space craft to begin their new life. But there are a lot who are left behind . Greed and misunderstanding comes in the way and there is harm to befall both on the space craft and the people who are left behind, mostly women who depend on hope. This is a very interesting story, but there are too many characters and too many perspectives, which made it a little confusing for me. Hopefully as the series progresses, things get a little less tangled. Overall , quite an interesting book.

Sci-Fi Fantasy books are not usually my go-to genre, but this was a great read. A little slow at first just trying to figure out all the different characters, but I enjoyed the book and really got pulled into it the more I read. I am looking forward to reading more from this series. I loved the connection to Gaia and Adelphi and the overall connection between people and our planet. The characters were developed well and there were so many different connections, relationships and dynamics throughout the book. I thought it built up well and didn’t feel rushed. Good read and well done.

It was an interesting read and the authors attention to detail was amazing. The characters in the story were intriguing and the storyline very unique. It certainly made me think about a few things! This is the first book that I have read by this author and although maybe not my complete cup of tea I would definitely like to read the next book.

This was an original sci-fi, fantasy novel with an intriguing storyline and multiple fascinating characters. The story has an overall message about the environment and how our actions in the present have affected the world in the future, which is the setting of this story. Environmental attorney Maddison Bear’s Heart is chosen by those who speak to the earth and know her as Gaia, a sentient being. The Hopi people have always known the world would end and that earth would be reborn into the fifth world, and they want Maddison to lead them through the coming of this new world. When a young girl tells her that Gaia’s sister, Adelphi, a new planet will welcome them if they travel to her, the corporate military provide a ship straight away. They are glad to be leaving the ‘eco nuts’, who are always trying to protect the planet, behind. However, Colonel Miller is looking for a more permanent end to these protesters and so sabotages the ship and hunts down those who stayed. Many of those who stayed are women powered by the force of hope, but how many, if any will survive. The author did a wonderful job of bringing the setting vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, which made me feel immersed in the story. I found some of the characters a little difficult to connect with and as the story was told through multiple POV’s, I did get a bit confused early on. However, over all I found this to be an engaging read and I would happily read the next book in the series.

Hope for a New World is Book 1 in the Hope Series that sparks Sci Fi Fantasy that takes place more in the future. This story was good and I really do appreciate the list of characters at the beginning as there are quite a few. I liked the story overall, parts were a bit complex for me (that is on me) and keeping track of all the POVs…..this story did take me time to read. In all, the strength of the women to heal due to the environment of Earth being destroyed by pollution and power….it sends a message.
This was a unique and intriguing read…I am looking forward to what the author brings next to the series.

Hope For a New World is the first book in The Hope Series (Gaia Series) by Renee W. Peek. This is the first book that I have read by Renee Peek, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from one of her stories, but the cover pulled me in, and I figured that I would see what it was about. What I discovered is an original story with quite a bit going on, there are multiple characters, and multiple point of views going on also, which makes the story seem interesting. This is a Sci-fi fantasy, with a bit of a ‘message’ about the environment, and the part we play in it all. So, the setting of the story is over a hundred years into the future, and it depicts the changes that we have brought about to the environment. I appreciated the story and messages it contained, but I did find it difficult to fully connect with some of the characters, because I felt like there was quite a bit going on with each of the characters. I hope that Renee continues to make books in the series which explain each point of view. The only way to find out if your thoughts of this book, is to pick up a copy for yourself and read the book…I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Hope for a New World is the first book in the Hope Series by Renee W Peek. This is my first book by her, and I was not sure what to expect.
There were a lot of characters through out the book, but Ms Peek did a wonderful job developing them all. They each brought valuable information with each of their POV.
This is more Sci-fi than most books I’ve read, but it was well written. Def recommend and can’t wait to read more by Ms. Peek.

I love the aspect of how people can communicate and understand Gaia, Earth, and how they do what they feel is right and important to do. I also thought it was cool that both Gaia and Adelphi communicate to lead the way. Unfortunately, since they are doing something new and “changing” things, it’s going to cause rifts and irritate some of the wrong people. When things go down, it’s always important to know who is in your corner, and I think this story has a very good way of conveying that idea and fact. Watching this group of women band together to protect their future… is an amazing ride!

This book is a unique, original sci-fi fantasy story set in a futuristic world. I was a little unsure going into this book if I would enjoy it but was intrigued enough to give it a go. The way the story is told is really interesting. The multiple points of view give it a depth and perspective that I wasn’t expecting but makes it even better to read. Each of the characters played their own part in the overall story. I enjoyed getting to see things from more than one view and I think it helped me to connect more with the story. This is the first book I have read by this author and it definitely won’t be the last. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Hope For a New World is Book One in The Hope Series. It is a sci-fi fantasy that contains the underlying message about protecting the environment. The story is told from the POV of several characters that are easy to get emotionally invested with due to their strength, courage, and determination to save mother earth. The earth has been destroyed by power, corruption, greed, and pollution. One group of strong women sets off on a mission to heal mother earth. This book had an intriguing storyline with fantasy, action, suspense, and a strong underlying message about climate change. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading Book Two.

This is an interesting start to the series. The subject matter of the end of the world has a unique slant. It was intriguing with all of the spiritual and energetic connections between the characters, planets, and animals. The environmental and indigenous theme also made the sci-fi story more interesting!

I wasn’t sure what to expect as this was my first book by this author, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful blend of sci-fi and fantasy. Something I very much appreciated was the names and descriptions of the characters at the beginning of the book. Books play like movies in my head so to have the cast set out from the start earned many brownie points from this reader! The characters are all very relatable and had me very invested quite quickly. The author goes into great detail about the world and the scenes which truly pulls you into the experience fully. I can’t think of anything I would change in this book and I can’t wait for the next in the series! I highly recommend picking this up if you love sci-fi and/or fantasy because this checks both boxes!

Hope For A New World is the first book in The Hope Series (Gaia’s Voice Series) by Renee W. Peek. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Peek, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories. But the cover intrigued me, and the blurb sounded interesting- so I set off to explore. What I discovered is an original story with quite a lot going on. There are multiple characters, and multiple POVs too, which expands the story considerably. It is a Sci-fi fantasy, with a bit of a ‘message’ about the world/environment, and our part in it all. From environmental messages to telepathic messengers, new-age type beliefs, giving the planet/s a ‘voice’, tension, challenges, drama, and hope – this story takes place in a futuristic setting (2133 -2138)- so over a hundred years into the future. Whilst I did appreciate the story and messages it contained, I found it difficult to connect fully with some of the characters which made it hard to fully invest in them and the outcome of the story. Some of the characters were very ‘fleshed out’ while others not so much, even though they were part of the ‘main cast’. I really wanted to know more about them, I guess. Some of the dialogue seemed a little stilted and curt/blunt, which made for choppy/clunky interactions. Also, some of the transitions were abrupt, making for a rough flow at times, and adding a little confusion (for me), which kept pulling me out of the flow. But the overall story was intriguing, and I really liked the premise. Don’t let my opinion put you off grabbing a copy and diving in, as looking at the other reviews, I seem to be the only one with any concerns at all – so this is probably a ‘me issue’. Snap up a copy and make up your own mind. I am curious to see where the series goes from here, so will explore the other books to find out. Happy reading…

Hope for a New World, by Renee W Peek, is the first installment to The Hope Series, and is a beautiful blend of science-fiction and space, with a side of metaphysical and so much more. I enjoyed the distinctly different personality types among the main characters. I felt they were all very well-developed, interesting and I felt a connection with each of them in some way. The strength of these women uniting for a cause they all believe in was very inspiring! The descriptions and intriguing storyline made it very easy to submerge myself into this story, without feeling like anything was repetitive or long-winded. The author really brought to life what I believe to be a very strong first book to this series. All in all, I would definitely suggest to anyone who loves science-fiction, although it goes much further beyond the sci-fi genre. I look forward to the next installment!
