A mansion on remote Aotea Island off Auckland New Zealand has burned down. Twenty people are missing but only one, 14-year-old Sam Kahu, has been found. Detective Sue Williams soon discovers Sam is unusual. He tells her he's psychic. Then, by saving her life, he proves it. But he also tells her he has his own UFO... Science fiction action-adventure in a contemporary setting. A lonely Maori teen with a damaged past meets a young lesbian police-woman in crisis. The two support each other to solve the apparent murder mystery of why Renwick House burned down. But only Sam knows how strange this case truly is. He gently begins to tell Sue the story of his transition from a nobody from nowhere, whose criminal father murdered his mother, to becoming a member of the Changels, a band of six psychic teenagers from around the globe who use advanced technology to save those ordinary teens who in the future will save our planet. But will Sue believe him? And does Sam dare warn Sue just how dangerous the paranormal infiltrators of our civilisation that seek him, truly are? The Changels series blends the real and fantasy worlds so that the reader is never quite sure where the boundary is. An extraordinary amount of the content which sounds fantastic, is in fact true, while the emotional lives of the characters, which seem so true, are entirely fantastic. Initiation is the first part of Serendipity, book one of the Changels Genesis trilogy. Serendipity is to Changels Genesis as The Fellowship of the Ring is to the Lord of the Rings. Changels Genesis is a single story larger than LotR: A colossal global science fiction/real world adventure about genetics and destiny woven among actual events in the recent past. People who liked The Hunger Games or Artemis Fowl will probably enjoy Changels. Initiation is not a full story in its own right and leads on to the next part of Serendipity: The Weaving.
