The Heart Island Anomaly

by Brian Neil Roy, Juan Carlos Barquet (Illustrator), Jeanne Marie Leach (Editor)

The year is 326 A.E. For a thousand years, humans have orbited Earth, waiting for the planet to resurface. The mission was a success except for two small island chains. Some anomalies were not accounted for. Something is there, something ancient, something dangerous. A single man wakes on the Heart Island. Alone and injured, with no memory of who, where, or when he is, he struggles for survival one heart-pounding step at a time.

About the author

As a crippled, illiterate orphan, Brian seemed destined to never be a high achiever, let alone an author. Not until his journal entries at the age of thirteen were his reveries first placed on paper. Vivid, wild, and untamed, his aptitude shined. His teachers read the entries in disbelief. It must have been plagiarism, they said. They didn’t understand his need for the written word and further suppressed his imagination.

Crafting visions and scenes of a world of wonder helped Brian create and escape the traumas of his childhood.

Today he weaves his personal experiences and growth throughout the arcs of his characters. Brian intertwines the depth, struggles, and courage of humankind and playfully laces them with the lucid, unabashed dreams of a child.

A great story

Timeless love, a silver locket, action, survival, and a lucky pig. A story worth reading. Hopefully there is a sequel.

Spellbinding but warped!

I couldn't put this book down, and although it was mesmerizing it was also hard to follow how the terraforming had anything to do with it! I badly wanted to comprehend.
