Nikolas and Company Book 1: The Merman and The Moon Forgotten

From highly rated author, Kevin McGill:
A futuristic Earth is about to end. What's fourteen-year-old Nick to do? Escape with his friends to a fantastic moon teeming with magical creatures of course. What Nick doesn't realize is the fantastic can be more perilous than the future.
Nick Lyons and his friends are plagued by the geneva virus, tracked down by the all watching nannydrones, and fight to stay out of the US's many refugee camps. Nick's grandfather, Grand, offers an escape to a a better world. Surprisingly, his world is the moon, and it's teeming with life-breathing airships, mysterious volcano born nymphs, fire-breathing winged lions, and magic at the tip of your tongue. The catch is Nick must also become the protector of the merfolk, who are being hunted down by the sinister sheriff and his thousand-eyed monsters. Nick wants to lead his friends to a better life, but he will soon discover the fantastic can be more perilous than the future.
When you buy The Merman and The Moon Forgotten, you'll follow Nick's boisterous and heart-felt adventure as he seeks to save his friends and a race of merfolk. If you imagined kids from Stranger Things taking a fantastic journey to the moon, you'd get Nikolas and Company.

Kevin knew he liked this writing gig when 3rd grade classmates paid him two bucks for every story he wrote. Unbeknownst to him, the students turned in the stories as homework assigments (If Kevin had known, he would have charged double). His literary operations were exposed because the monkey scribble was undeniably Kevin's handwriting. Unless, it actually was monkey scribble. Kevin was cast into detention. But, being the industrious boy that he was, detention served as a place only to imagine more fantastic worlds. Today, his wife graciously listens as he reads wild stories about foul monsters, fire-breathing winged lions, and the mysterious voice of Huron city, which speaks only to its 14yr old steward, Nikolas Lyons. Kevin now welcomes you into his world.
