THE ACADEMY VQ Book 2 of the VISION QUEST is part of an exciting science-fiction/fantasy series that takes place in the not-too-distant future where Earth has evolved into a brave, new, and unified world. It is the Age of Light, and three Atlantians-Lazer, Kyla, and Cashton-are struggling to find their place in this rapidly changing world as it stands on the brink of war. Spurred to rebellion by the growing danger of biologically based machines, our heroes find themselves facing the wrath of a sentient, mechanical demagogue called Five and its bio-mechanical army bent on the destruction of all humans. These three reluctant heroes prepare for upcoming war as they seek the wisdom of a powerful, half-human splicer named Masta Lia Poe to help them remember the limitless powers forgotten by humankind. They must discover the secret knowings of the mysterious Gnorbs left behind by Earth's first inhabitants and hope the leaders of Earth rally to aid Atlantia, and untimely the world, in time to save humanity. Destiny calls, love and friendships are tested, as they learn how to become the heroes and sheroes we all must find inside our deepest, inner selves. Like STAR WARS set on Earth and the new adult friendships in HARPY POTTER, THE ACADEMY VQ is the next book in a classic, coming-of-age Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Adventure series. It is a true global odyssey that takes not just three friends, but the entire planet to stand at the brink of a magnificent, metaphysical evolution as together we become all that humanity was created to be.
