Crazy, right?
Even crazier, perhaps, imagine
then waking up in a place similar to where you were when this all went down,
but somehow even though the world looks the same, its also different. You
wonder if you dreamed it all. Then you start to notice little things that
aren't right or the same, and as you wonder if you are in fact going crazy, you
begin to figure out you're not in the same place you had been when the protective
sphere shielded you. This place is different and you don't know why until the
differences of this world slowly make it clear.
The Flight of the Silvers by Daniel Price starts off with a strange occurrence
happening on the highway. Two siblings witness an unexplained disaster while
they interact with a mysterious visitor that hearkens of a future event of
impossible-to-comprehend relevance.
Then we jump several years ahead
and meet those two sisters again—along with four other strangers—and witness
through their eyes the foretold cataclysmic event and reawakening.
Why? Where am I? What happened?
These are some of the questions the "six" wrestle with as they're
"brought in" by s group of scientists promising to explain the
differences of this reality.
The Flight of the Silvers is an
intriguing novel occurring in a parallel universe where incredible things
happen, people have extraordinary abilities, and a few survivors from our world
have to discover why they were chosen to go there. To find out why, pick up a
copy.
