A Journey to a Frozen Planet to
Find a Long Lost Twin.
An Amazing Crystal Phone With Incredible Powers.
A Cunning Old Pirate Wizard Who Must Be Stopped.
Twelve-year-old Terry McTrain and his friend Will are ordinary
schoolboys living an ordinary life, when an unexpected phone call sets
Terry and Will off on the adventure of a lifetime:
“Terry? Is that you?” a voice said excitedly down the phone. “It’s me, Terry.”
Terry pulled a face. “Sorry? Did you say your name was Terry?”
“Yes, Terry McTrain, I’m you, phoning from the future!” said the voice.
Read The Pyewiz and the Amazing Mobile Phone
— the first in the series “Tales From Across the Solar System” — to
find out what happens when Terry and Will, travel to the other side of
the solar system to try to stop their world from being destroyed. They
are pitted against the Pyewiz, the cunning pirate wizard who abducts Terry’s twin brother as a child.
Against a background of the Pyewiz’s obsession with chess, which
looms large in the moonscape of Pluto’s Charon, the boys take on the
ancient pirate, who has substituted ships for chess pieces, in a
seabattle without an ocean, on the very edge of the solar system.
When the story starts, it’s just another ordinary day in the life of
Terry McTrain, schoolboy and unpaid ‘drudge’ in his parent’s
guesthouse. It’s not all bad, after all, he’s got his own ‘recording
studio’ in the basement, and he and his friend Will can have a ‘jamming
session’ whenever they have time. But the sudden arrival of a
dislikeable and distinctly weird guest, sets the boys off balance.
Terry thinks it very odd when this ‘guest’, a strange-looking lady
with sunglasses, starts picking on his dad. In fact he seems to know her from the past and they appear to have some unfinished business together. Terry just can’t understand it. And just as things really
start to go wrong, they get even worse when an amazing event takes
place in the garden shed.
Somehow, breaking all the laws of known
physics, a Japanese chef calling himself Soupie, materializes in the garden shed and tells the two boys an astonishing and rather frightening story.
Terry learns that he is an Indigo child, blessed with strange innate powers. He is also told that he has a bitter enemy in the person of the Pyewiz,
the pirate-wizard and chess player extraordinaire who lives on Charon,
near Pluto. What's more he has a twin brother, Barry,
imprisoned by the Pyewiz on that far off planet with little chance of
being rescued. In a moment of terrible truth, the boys realise that
they are the only people in the universe who can save Terry’s twin.
With Soupie’s encouragement, the boys take it upon themselves to do
what they can to thwart the pirate and rescue Barry from his clutches.
And it is from this point on that Terry and Will, lose all contact with
reality and find themselves launched on an adventure of solar system proportions!
It’s a quest which leads Terry to his soul mate, Kia, and discover some remarkable things about himself. He finds that he has special powers, which momentarily come to his aid during his showdown with the Pyewiz. But before this happens, Terry is cruelly forced by the Pyewiz to duel with his own twin brother Barry, who is confused about his true allegiances. After all, the Pyewiz had adopted and reared Barry as his own nephew, and fully expects him to take his side. Terry can see that Barry is the victim in all this who can be forgiven for defending his ‘uncle’. But Barry is in for a wake up call. And so is Terry when he discovers that he truly is an Indigo Child!
The Pyewiz and the Amazing Mobile Phone will be followed in the series “Tales From Across the Solar System” by the second book, The Pyewiz and the Sons of Terrafirma, which continues Will and Terry’s fight against one of the solar system’s worst foes!
