Produktbeschreibung
Ten foster siblings. One mysterious crystal. And a secret in the woods that could change everything. The MacIvers aren't your typical family - with ten adopted kids, a massive treehouse, and a basset hound named Fritter who never leaves Allen's side. But even Allen doesn't know how different he really is until strange creatures start appearing in the woods behind their house. A powerful crystal lies hidden in the mountain, and two alien species are desperate to claim it. One wants to protect the solar system; the other seeks to destroy it. When a deadly virus starts spreading through the alien watchers, the siblings realize they're the only ones who can help. But saving their new alien friends might mean losing each other. As time runs out, they must decide: Is saving the universe worth risking the only real family they've ever known? With his siblings by his side and his wheelchair equipped for any terrain, Allen leads a race against time through hidden caves, family secrets, and the true meaning of belonging. In this action-packed adventure, the MacIvers discover that sometimes the greatest powers in the universe aren't found in crystals or spaceships - they're found in the bonds between family. Perfect for fans of found family stories and science fiction adventures. A story about choosing your family, accepting differences, and finding your place in the universe - even if that place is closer to home than you ever imagined.
Autorenporträt
Lawrence Nault is a purpose-driven storyteller whose work spans speculative fiction, poetry, documentary film, and political commentary, all rooted in a deep reverence for the natural world and a steadfast belief in the power of words to provoke change. A self-described mountain hermit navigating the digital noise of the modern world, Nault brings a quiet yet unwavering voice to the forefront-one that stands firm in the face of injustice and dares to ask the questions others turn away from. His stories don't seek to escape the world but to engage with it-to peel back its layers, challenge its systems, and illuminate both its harsh realities and hidden beauty. Whether writing about the fragility of identity in an AI-shaped future, the evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world, or the quiet resilience found in the face of ecological upheaval, Nault draws from lived experience and a profound connection to the land. His poetry often dances between frost and fire, grappling with death, rebirth, memory, and the resilience of the human spirit. Grounded in the Badlands of Alberta and guided by a life lived close to the earth-and two loyal collies-Nault approaches writing as both a craft and a calling. He believes stories are seeds: some take root immediately, others lie dormant until the world is ready. Either way, he writes for those who listen closely-for readers who find strength in silence, meaning in the margins, and hope in the hardest of places.
