Having barely survived the latest attack on him, Alex feels adrift at the loss of his twin brother, despite everyone's attempts to console him. Officials from the Pentagon, the Vatican, and even a representative of the Native American Onondaga tribe descend on the Air Force base to mobilize against an imminent assault on humanity. Despite losing Andy, Alex has a few fleeting moments of happiness, especially as he finds himself falling for Allison, Mr. Shaw's spunky daughter. But he knows these moments of "normalcy" will be short-lived because Ms. G and her group need his power to fulfill their evil plans. When on-base treachery leads to attempted assassination and kidnapping, Alex-along with Roy and Allison-is plunged into a deadly standoff with Ms. G that he knows will result in his death and that of his loved ones. Can he allow them to be tortured, or will he give in to her monstrous demands? Colonel Walker gathers his troops around the location where Alex is held prisoner - the mountain housing a mysterious "gate" into another dimension. Should Alex be forced to open that gate and release the dark entities within, the human race will come to a swift and violent end. As the final battle approaches, can Alex hold out long enough for rescue to arrive? The Healer Chronicles conclude.
Autorenporträt
Michael J. Bowler grew up in San Rafael, California, and majored in English and Theatre at Santa Clara University. He went on to earn a master's in film production from Loyola Marymount University, a teaching credential in English from LMU, and another master's in Special Education from Cal State University Dominguez Hills. He taught high school in Hawthorne, California-both in general education and to students with learning disabilities-in subjects ranging from English and Strength Training to Algebra, Biology, and Yearbook. He has been a volunteer Big Brother to eight different boys with the Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and a decades-long volunteer within the juvenile justice system in Los Angeles. He has been honored as Probation Volunteer of the Year, YMCA Volunteer of the Year, California Big Brother of the Year, and 2000 National Big Brother of the Year. The "National" honor allowed him and three of his Little Brothers to visit the White House and meet the president in the Oval Office. He has completed three as-yet-unpublished novels aimed at the teen market, and one for middle grade. His goal as an author is for teens and middle schoolers to experience empowerment and hope; to see themselves in his diverse characters; to read about kids who face real-life challenges; and to see how kids like them can remain decent people in an indecent world. The most prevalent theme in his writing is this: as a society, and as individuals, we're better off when we do what's right, not what's easy.
