Falconer Blood

‘Falconer Blood’ - Book 1 Infinite Worlds deals with Dan Falconer of Melbourne – 16 years old – awkward, spineless and bullied. A girl claiming to be his half-sister, already an accomplished traveller between worlds, rescues him from some ‘classmates’ and takes him to 1720 Jamaica to try to rescue Anne Bonny – about to be hanged. John Falconer, their father, ‘adventurer among the worlds’, has become Calico Jack Rackham – by taking the name of a nonentity who died of the fever and working his way up to pirate leader. However, he has ‘gone bad’ as a bloodthirsty murderer. The reason for the powers the Falconer adolescents possess – telekinesis and the ability to travel between parallel worlds - is elusive. It is thought to be genetic – in the blood. Dan has secretly fallen in love with is half-sister, Bess, but can’t admit this. She regards him with amused contempt for most of this book. Dan knows he has cousins ‘down the coast’ from Melbourne, but has never met them. See also Book 2, Book 3 and Book 4.
