This unusual, fascinating and gripping paraspace fiction story flips through time and ether with the speed and ease of thought, physical, mental and ethereal, subtly switching in pattern and style to mould about each change in environment, never leaving the reader, uncomfortable whatsoever the role he is called upon to see and feel.
The story is of a young boy who meets a dolphin in a cove in the south-west of England and, feeling a strange rapport with this denizen of the deep, enters the water to find they can converse in thought patterns and pictures.
Later, far out at sea, dolphin and boy are drawn to seek and find a rift in pulse to an alien planet of Anti Matter, the alter ego of our present world. A swift transition and both become as they really are: the dolphin a graceful young woman, the boy a young man.
They move on to see and experience life on the Pacific continent of Lemuria, as it could have .been on our own earth many millenniums ago, almost in fact to the birth of Man.
These traumatic events are shown to them in three ways: through the heightened and extended sight of the beholders; in some part by an unknown celestial guide; but mainly by participation and experience in the events of which they themselves were once a part.
This book carries with it the rhythms of sea and space, time and no-time; rhythms which prevail even through a tremendous storm after escaping from the sinking Lemuria, through death, tragedy and life, and through the journey back to our planet, and a thrillingly related fight to the bitter end between the dolphin and three hungry sharks.
The boy lives; the dolphin dies - or does she? From the subtle pen of Christopher Cardew is born this remarkable book.
