Author Description

In a world where Humans and Sphyrans live side by side under the glow of two brilliant suns, Threena Salvo seethes with discontent. Frustrated by a failing marriage she struggles to find meaning in a life that she believes has none. Her quest leads her to a group of religious radicals called the Revisionists who strive to overcome the phenomena known as the "barrier," an unseen, immeasurable force that dissuades the population from any kind of damaging behavior, leaving their civilization free of crime, poverty and even murder. But as Threena discovers her own adeptness at venturing into the strange and fantastical realms beyond the barrier, she realizes that the Revisionists are not the only ones who are playing with the secrets of the universe. A group led by the infamous Handler has the ability to break free of the barrier as well, and they are intent on shaping the world to their own liking. As Threena becomes entangled in their web of lies and the consequences of her own mistakes, she discovers the long forgotten circumstances of their civilization's creation. But more importantly, she discovers the most fundamental secret in the universe: their world is not real. As she struggles to understand the nature of her existence, the echoes of truth begin to slowly illuminate the darkness of the enclosing universe.In the unexpected, exciting continuation of the Wise Child series, David Kent takes his readers into the future that George Carter helped to create. Through the eyes of a woman struggling to find truth, a child with inborn innocence and understanding, and the never ending plotting of the Handler, he creates a world where anything is possible and nothing is as it seems.
