Jo Dinage
Jo has always been sensitive to what she refers to as the rip tides in society. In a seemingly calm ocean, a rip tide can easily suck you in. In the ocean as in the real world, your survival will depend on your knowledge, your ability, your will to live, plus luck and a prayer.
Her novels all address rip tides– issues such as bigotry, bullying, greed or intolerance–issues that can polarize and tear us apart if we allow them.
Death of the Immortals is her first futuristic romance.

 Death Of The Immortals:
After a series of mysterious mishaps, a deep space explorer was forced to land on the unexplored planet of Alloca. Far from Mother Earth, the explorers were determined to survive on what they believed to be an uninhabited world. The military model of the space ship’s command continued as a military dictatorship in maintaining law and order. Now, in a drastic effort to maximize the population potential of their small numbers, also to avoid the racial strife that often decimated Earth’s population, the Presidential Council decided to adopt a master policy. Through forced interracial marriages, they would create a single race of people. Their rule is absolute, but there are budding dissidents.
The Separatist would preserve the purity of each race - whites and others - by banning all interracial marriages. The Free-Choicer would give everyone the freedom to choose his or her own marriage partner. They were natural enemies, but with their common goal the defeat of the Presidential Council, an alliance was formed. Now, into this shaky alliance comes another race of people.
Zooric, he was called alien by the Tifoosas, but to him they were the aliens - the invaders. Yet he has pledged to support the dissidents in their war with the Presidential Council. To win the war he has to face his past; he needs the help of his people. To win the war the Tifoosas need him, but they also fear him, and into this already murky mix, there is now an explosive attraction between Zooric and the daughter of a Free-Choice activist.
