With the help of Mr Fogarty and the marvellous Madame Cardui, the futures of these brilliant young protagonists are worked out in a masterful plot that will hold the reader gripped from start to finish.

Brennan became interested in psychology as a child and was studying books on the subject virtually from the time he was able to read. He found himself pursuing several unorthodox lines of research, including hypnosis, and actually hypnotised his first subject — a school friend - at the age of nine!
He began a journalistic career at eighteen and at twenty-four became the youngest newspaper editor in his native Ireland. His early career background included magazine work, hypnotherapy, counselling, advertising and marketing.
His first book on out-of-body experience, Astral Doorways, became a specialist bestseller and went on to become a classic in its field.
By his mid twenties, Brennan had published his first novel, an historical romance brought out by Doubleday in New York. At age thirty, he made the decision to devote most of his time to full-length works of fact and fiction and since then has published more than ninety books, many of them international best sellers.
