Book Description

For the first time in her life, Jenny Rasmussen has things organized the way she wants them. Her toy store is flourishing, her sister and niece are happy, and her love life is nonexistent. Jenny has seen firsthand the damage love can do and she wants no part of that, thank you very much. But the moment she meets Special Agent Beau Rivers, Jenny’s well ordered life spirals out of control. Beau knows trouble when he sees it. The defiant, spitfire he is charged with protecting definitely falls into that category. But Beau is determined to do his job, even if Jenny dislikes him. Good thing the dislike is mutual since, in his line of work, love can be fatal to a career. But more than Beau’s job is at risk. Jenny’s life is at stake and the threat may be coming from within his beloved FBI.

Book Description

Legend holds that in centuries past, a great king was laid to rest, leaving a promise to wake again when the world would need him most. Could eleven-year-old Peter Blue be that sleeping king? “He sleeps more than we do!” complain the old people at the Gum Tree Rest Home in the Australian bush, where Peter has lived since his parents were killed by wildfire. When a pesky wizard-type pulls Peter out of a nap, telling him to wake up and save the world, Peter isn’t interested. It’s only when a strange clue in his birthday treasure hunt leads him to Dad’s Global Advanced Intelligence Agency (GAIA) jacket that Peter starts to change his mind. In the pocket, he finds a card for Spiral Hall—Secret School for the Ecodemically Gifted. The Anthrog forces are rising on earth. They feed on the stench of human greed, and right now it’s a free lunch. The Anthrogs also want to get to GAIA using Peter’s high-tech jacket as the key. Can Peter get to GAIA before the Anthrogs get to him? Peter Blue’s legend-inspired story combines the magic of a child confronting a promise from another lifetime with the realism of climate change, which Peter and the initiates at Spiral Hall are destined to take on.
