Tomorrow`s Children
(First book in new trilogy Legends of the Ells)
Synopsis.
This
exciting action driven tale is set mainly in Spain in 2436 AD. During
the previous four centuries most of humankind`s problems have been
solved by the intervention of the Ells, a wise humanoid race. Apart
from a handful, these have now left Earth. A few young half Ells
remain on Earth to counter any action by power hungry dissidents.
The
story is centred on Yani, a young, apparently orphaned, gypsy boy,
unaware of his Ell heritage. Character development of the various
protagonists drives the plot, which deepens throughout the trilogy.
The use of 'magic' has been avoided as a series of new concepts and
inventions is woven into the story, many of these being
extrapolations from current (21st
century) scientific theory.
Aided by
the awakening of unusual abilities, Yani, just fourteen, escapes from
Polonia, where he has been held for years by smugglers.
Far in
the south he finds friends, his heritage and a mission that involves
him and his friends in great danger. These dangers escalate towards
an exciting climax in the Pyrenees.
Finally,
with his 15th
birthday approaching, Yani discovers more about the Ells and their
world.
A fourth book is
nearing completion.
