Synopsis

Farris Malhalion did not believe in the old stories, not until her own brother was kidnapped by monsters to send her on a fantastical journey. She travels both within the mind and without, taking a path of harrowing adventure and personal enlightenment as she strives to rescue him. THE FIRST MAN is the first volume of a two part young adult/fantasy series entitled SHELL SEVEN that can be read on many different levels; whether the reader appreciates the excitement of the many fast-paced action scenes, the surreal beauty and mystery of new worlds, the philosophical musings of the guides along the way, or the spiritual path of overcoming reality that Farris finds before her. She will travel through the seven kingdoms of the earth, each woven into the deep mythology of the worlds she passes, and each representative of one aspect of enlightenment. In this first volume she passes through the surface world as well as the lands of fear, pleasure and illusion below the earth. She is accompanied in her journeys by a variety of strange creatures, including her faithful pet goat Bumble, Gloria the magical fish, and a romantic interest that makes uncertain love and looming betrayal pervasive themes throughout.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

As a child I constructed a spaceship capable of superluminal speeds powered by a fusion core reactor. The submission was denied by NASA on the grounds that it was made entirely of legos. In high school I was told that I could do anything I wanted in life, while only being taught everything that I didn't want to be. I probably deserved the detentions I received. In college I complete two bachelors of science in psychology and physiology. I worked as a neuroscientist with plans towards medical school and thought I had life figured out. Then a horrible thing happened. I was actually accepted into medical school. The infinite potential of my future lay down into ordered lines. There was so much to be besides a certificate, and so many places to go besides an office. Why live only one life? If I am a story in the end, then I would rather be its writer.
