The Remarkables - action with sci-fi and urban fantasy themes

[Andy]

Hi everybody

Thought I'd give a shout out for my book, The Remarkables. It's an action packed tale of a teenage boy who discovers that he has superpowers.

Blurb!

Owen Johnson’s day was progressing just like it did for most other teenagers. By lunchtime he had climbed a tall building using abilities usually reserved for superheroes; he’d flirted with the girl he had secretly adored for years; he’d come home to find his dad had been kidnapped and a mysterious stranger standing in his living room; and finally he’d been rescued by the elderly woman next door who had suddenly revealed that she had the power to launch people through the air.

The Remarkables introduces Owen Johnson to the world of The Remarkables, a group of seemingly ageless war heroes, each possessing unique gifts that had been used to fight evil. Now they must help Owen find his dad, and uncover a new threat to our way of life. Along their journey Owen slowly starts to learn the secrets of his past, and uncovers surprising truths about himself and those that he thought he knew: some of which he is glad to learn, some he may wish he hadn’t.

I cannot tell you how much pleasure I got in writing it; I hope those that read it do also.

Best wishes

Andy

Thanks. Did I mention there's a kick-ass cow in there too?

It's my pleasure to announce that my second novel, Reaching Out, has been released into the wild.

Following directly on from The Remarkables, part two tells the continuing story of Owen Johnson and his friends, each of whom possess similarly remarkable superpowers to the otherwise ordinary teenage boy.

After embarking on a daring rescue mission to rescue his father from the clutches of the mysterious organisation known as The Remnant, Owen is jetted off to the relative safety of the Provenance. On his journey he learns the extent of his powers, as well as uncovering some alarming secrets about his past and that of his friends. He may also learn why those with powers seem so fond of giving the organisations to which they belong such peculiar names.

To celebrate its release, part one is on sale for this weekend only, priced at less than a dollar, pound or equivalent currency.
