The Brain Changers
is set in the technologically near future and the basic mood and thrust of
the story is fantasy involving higher beings, magical interventions, and
mystical philosophy. A good Young Adult story with well drawn
characters.” —Ian Watson, science fiction author and screenwriter of
Speilberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Book Description
Dark, uncanny forces begin to take over the land.
Rowena and her friends see their freedoms being eroded as their society
succumbs to a new breed of dominators, the Brain Changers. Can the small
student group stand alone in their protests in a world rapidly becoming
riddled with fear and suspicion? Dare they attempt to discredit a
tyrannical and all-powerful government? The protest that begins so boldly
brings death and destruction in its wake, but it is the selfless and
courageous act of the young heroine who risks her life to foil a powerful
and dastardly enemy that is its justification.
“A powerful read. I really cared about Rowena, Mel
and their mates and wanted to keep on reading.”
—Sally Spedding, author and lecturer in creative writing, Leicester
University
