The Book of Jack is the first volume in a science fiction series that follows the turbulent, swashbuckling life of a boy named Jack. It is set on another world much like ours but more rugged and ancient and highly influenced by off-world technology.
It is a story of high adventure as this young herder and his friends are thrust into startling events beginning with the horrific destruction of their mountain village. The skills and courage and camaraderie that enabled them to survive in the hills are readily applied to harrowing situations that would have broken hardened adults.
Their lives become inextricably entwined with those of fugitive aliens and their pursuers and Jack disturbingly finds he may have a deep connection to those pursuers. Jack impetuously manages to steal a flying machine, opening the way to many more unimaginable, magnificent adventures.
Although I have a lifetime of hair-raising adventures to draw from, as do all of us whether we realize it or not, the Dead Bug Chronicles is the first time I have taken some of those experiences and put them to paper. You'll have to ask Jack and Tibo and Nico which are theirs and which are mine, but in some ways it doesn't matter a hoot because they were all fun at the time. Well, in hindsight perhaps only one or two were more than heart-stoppers that made me want to run, come to think of it.
Rest assured, though – there are more where these came from – the adventures never cease!
