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.
