Synopsis

Otus Swift and the Synth Birds is a sci-fi adventure story with an environmental theme, aimed at young people aged ten and upwards.

“The birds transmit a kind of low frequency that interacts with neurons in the brain… Mind control.” She tapped a finger against her forehead. Otus wondered what she was going on about. Was she serious?

Otus Swift lives with his father in Vert Grande. It has been twelve years since the Unrest changed everything. Their garden is the only green space in a country devoid of nature. Wild plants, insects, and birds are gone. Now, people carry synthetic birds around in cages.

Two synthetic doves live in the garden, but his father won’t allow Otus to have his own caged bird.

Otus is a bit bemused by the whole bird thing, but accepts it as part of his world. After all, that’s what everyone else seems to do.

No one ever questions the way things are. No one, that is, until his new friend, Jenny, tells him about her mind control theory.

A series of events leads to life-changing circumstances for Otus. When the doves in the garden speak to him, he realises that everything is not as it seems. Urged on by what he discovers, Otus embarks on an adventure to find a mysterious prince.

The story of Otus Swift and the Synth Birds unfolds across two timelines, following twelve year old Otus and his friends, and through the diary of Dr Rosa Lytton. The story includes dealing with the loss of a parent.

Otus Swift and the Synth Birds is Book 1 of Otus’s Journey.
