The Prophecy
language
(Bridge House Sept. 14, 2009)
, 1 edition
Kaleem Malkendy is different – and on Terrestra, different is no way to be.
Everything about Kaleem marks him out form the rest: the blond hair and dark skin, the uncomfortable cave where he lives and the fact that he doesn’t know his father. He’s used to unwelcome attention, but even so he’d feel better if some strange old man didn’t keep following him around.
That man introduces himself and begins to explain the Babel Prophecy – and everything in Kaleem’s life changes forever.
The Prophecy is a young adult coming of age story set in a dystopian future where good old fashioned magic and modern artificial intelligence make even more complex the social issues that Kaleem faces as he reaches out to those others call aliens.
Interview with the Author
So, what make the Peace Child series special?
I’ve been told that it’s great for getting girls interested in Science Fiction. It has many of the characteristics of the normal young adult novel – above anything else it is a bildungsroman, a story of growth, a story about how Kaleem finds his identity. It also deals with some topics that are important to everyone: nationalism versus globalism, an aging population and monetary crisis.
What order should I read the books in?
Each book is a complete story on its own and contains a glossary of terms that may be useful if you don’t read them in order. So, we have:
•The Prophecy
•Babel
•The Tower
•And a fourth is beginning to form in my mind.
So why should I give these books a try?
You’ll fall in love with Kaleem and / or Rozia, the girl he falls in love with. They behave just as you’d expect young adults to. All three novels contain the pace, tension and emotional closeness we’d expect in a young adult novel.
Do you have any other books for young adults?
I most certainly do. Why not pop over to my author page and check them out?
Thanks for reading.
