GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Floridant -- Author Lorilyn Roberts announces the upcoming release on September 5, 2025, of her captivating young adult novel, The Eighth Dimension: Frequency, a story that expertly blurs the lines between science and faith. The book follows seventeen-year-old Chumana Ironvein as a mysterious package from a clandestine government program thrusts her from a life of ordinary teenage struggles into a world of secret frequencies, different dimensions, and extraterrestrial contact.

Praised by Readers' Favorite reviewers as "one of the most intriguing stories I have ever read," the book explores the profound questions of human existence: Are we a product of divine creation, evolution, or something else entirely? As Chumana cares for her mother, who suffers from dementia, her absent father tasks her with mastering Morse code and ham radio for a critical mission, pulling her into a thrilling adventure that challenges everything she knows about her family and her own identity.
