Join Us for a Conversation with "Knock-Out" Novelist, Sijuan King

Clearly, Sijuan King learned a few things from her uncle, boxing promoter Don King. From start to finish, her debut novel packs a punch that will have you reeling.

Millennium Slave: Part I is the story of one man's struggle to regain his life after everything he holds dear-including his freedom-is stolen from him.

Charles had the perfect life--a Central Park address, a brilliant career with global giant C.E.E.L. Industries, and the lovely Trudy Henderson by his side. When he is invited aboard the company yacht for an eight-day cruise, he eagerly accepts and asks Trudy to accompany him for a romantic voyage.

But on the second night at sea, Charles' American Dream turns into a nightmare when he and the other passengers are taken hostage and brought to an island where slavery is still the law of the land.

As Charles plans his escape, he learns there is nothing he won't do for those he loves. Millennium Slave: Part I is a story of both heartbreaking loss and the triumph of the human spirit.

This Week's Podcast Guest is Sijuan King

Join us Friday when Sijuan King talks about her new suspense thriller, Millennium Slave, Part I.

Although this is her first novel, it is the latest in the long list of Si's accomplishments. As niece of boxing promoter Don King, she learned at a very early age that anything is possible. "Only in America," her Uncle Don always said, and Si followed his example. She has worn many hats in her life: entrepreneur, poet, activist--now novelist--and she has excelled at it all.

The idea for Millennium Slave came to Si, fully formed, in a dream. It is the story of handsome and brilliant Charles Allen Hart, a New York City executive with the world at his fingertips. While still in his early thirties, he is appointed CFO of global giant C.E.E.L. Industries. When he is invited aboard the company yacht for a cruise to the Caribbean, he considers it just one more milestone in his meteoric rise to the top. He asks his girlfriend Trudy to go along, planning to propose marriage as they sail into the sunset.

What they are sailing into, however, is an unimaginable nightmare; for their destination is not an island paradise, but a secret island where human bondage is still the law of the land.

Millennium Slave is impossible to put down and ends with a cliffhanger that is...well, downright cruel. Luckily, readers won't have to wait that long to find out what happens to Charles, because Si is planning to release Millennium Slave, Part II in 2012.
