Difference between revisions of "Category:Not Dead Yet"

Not Dead Yet is the first book of the main series told within the world of the AUAK.

In the story, a man comes home after a long journey to find out that his whole town thought he had been murdered while away. Mystery grows as secrets are kept along a journey back to the scene of the crime and the search for the would-be assassin and the identity of the real victim.

Synopsis

The first two chapters introduce the world on New Years Eve 3884, by the Brraan Marrowwen Calendar, at the groundbreaking ceremony for a huge city-bridge between two nearby continents, and onto a ceremony remembering those who died during the year. On New Years Day, as the two suns align, the Great Race begins, a race to traverse the four known levels of the world.

After the race ends, we find ourselves back in time several months, and on the other side of the world, in the tiny town of Berryshire Town in the middle of a vast valley of wildflowers.

But the not-dead Griegg Capita is not the only one in town with mysteries arising within their lives. A dream and a medallion brings a stranger into a tight-knit group of friends, forces a family reunion, and takes them all on a journey to the big city to catch an airship across the continent. But airship travel is rarely simple. More mystery and excitement await on the skyisland where Mr Capita had been framed as a victim. Then another journey half way around the world to a fight with a dragon.
