Full of character empathy, an exhilarating tale in another world. John survives,
while someone else's alien device, implanted in his body, controls his life.
The Boy with the Golden Heart
Part One: Transition to Sadhanna
An alien device implants itself into an innocent boy's body
and transports him slightly sideways, into a very dangerous universe.
A boy named John, searching for scrap in the park, finds a glittering Golden Heart, palm sized and shaped like a starfish. When he puts it into his shirt pocket, the Heart automatically implants itself into his body. Now the Heart begins to study him, and slowly, it begins to enhance his talents, and his inclinations. Unfortunately, for John, it also triggers a signal to transition to a new world, ruled by the makers of the Hearts.
John begins his journey in a society of potentially vicious inhabitants; Catapurs, an Army of Vladicons, Zymotars and Humankind. Soon he will meet the Ethereals, who have watched this earth from without for two thousand years, and feel a desperate need to set foot on it again.
Alone and naïve, in a world from which he cannot escape, John is in the centre of a war, millenniums old. But, something far more dangerous and angry is on the way to meet him. The previous owner of the Heart.
The Golden Heart meanwhile, continues to make John stronger, bestowing on him power that he sometimes cannot control, and causing him to make choices that may prove to be very good or very, very bad. He eventually discovers what it means to have to decide between heart and necessity.
