Fifteen-year-old Jami is an orphan doing his best to survive on the recently colonized planet of Novus. When he steals the fat purse of a well-dressed stranger in the middle of a busy bazaar, Jami has no idea his victim is a notorious killer. After he manages to escape capture, he heads to his filthy home and opens the purse to find a plethora of coins and an amulet. But what he does not know is that his decision to steal the purse has just thrust him on a dangerous path toward an interplanetary struggle for freedom. Meanwhile as the killer and his cohorts launch a search for Jami and the purse, hidden Novus natives send their dead leader's fifteen-year-old son, Kevlor, on his own perilous journey to find Jami and fulfill a prophecy. As the teens' paths finally cross, they must work together in an attempt to unlock Jami's unknown and mysterious past. But will they achieve their goal before their newly-discovered world is destroyed?
Autorenporträt
John Michael is a storyteller, misfit, and recovering perfectionist who spent thirty-three years building a business to prove his worth - only to discover he'd been asking the wrong question all along. His journey began in commercial kitchens as a chef, where he learned that following recipes could create consistent results - a lesson he'd spend decades trying to apply to everything else in life. When computers were still mysterious to most people, he moved into IT because he could make them do things others were afraid to attempt. This led to academia and eventually leadership development and coaching, where he discovered his gift for helping people transform. After surviving two heart attacks, a quadruple bypass, and the collapse of his consultancy empire, John Michael finally learned the difference between being successful and being alive. For over fifty-five years, he's been in conversation with an invisible friend who turned out to be more real than he ever imagined. A former corporate consultant who worked with armies, telecom operators, and major hotels across Asia Pacific, John Michael now uses his hard-won wisdom to help other misfits navigate the narrow road from performance to authenticity. He's discovered that the very wounds that nearly destroyed him have become his greatest qualifications for ministry. John Michael lives with his wife Annie and writes from their home in Singapore, where he's finally learned that worth isn't earned through achievement but received through grace. When he's not writing, you'll find him studying the Hebrew model of discipleship, marvelling at how neuroscience is catching up with biblical truth, and building an online community for soul-hungry skeptics and church-hurt believers. This is the first book in the Eden Chronicles, written forty-five years after a teacher told him he'd never be a writer. Turns out, some prophecies are spectacularly wrong.
