Just outside Los Angeles, a prisoner hidden away for 70 years sits up, gets off the bed and disappears through a solid wall.

In Australia, a magician impresses audiences by producing real elephants. Nobody realizes it's not an illusion.

Across the world, individuals and ancient organizations with supernatural power suddenly detect the presence of something even they can't understand.

At the center of it all, Seb Varden, a 32-year old musician with a secret in his past, slits his wrists, is shot dead and run over on the freeway. He's had better days.

Seb is about to discover the universe is a far more complicated place than he'd ever imagined.

***Please note, this book can be read as a standalone, or as the first in a planned series developing elements and characters from The World Walker.

Review of 'The World Walker' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

With nothing new coming to the table (New Mexico and 1947 are watchwords of the genre) this nevertheless kept its head above the rest. Even the style of writing - those chapters flashing back on history - aren't new, but the whole work has a patina to it, and not just a superficial glossy layer either. I can't quite pin down what the author's doing because nothing is particularly original, and yet there's a more than the sum of its parts feel to the work, a tantalizing feeling that, if you keep reading, you'll unearth something a cut above the traditional alien conspiracy, teen superpower stories that litter the virtual bookshelves of the self-publishing markets.

Confused? Yes. me too. But enjoyed? Absolutely.
