When the doctor suggests letting Adam go, Camille refuses to stop fighting for her son’s life.

Lost among galaxies, Adam must use his imagination to forge a path home before his body dies on the operating table. But even if he does return to Earth, he may end up locked inside a damaged brain forever.

Ratings and reviews

Creatively mingling reality and science fiction, Nicholas Conley crafts a mind boggling, intense story. It left me soul searching, a little heart broken, and overwhelmingly in awe of the way he weaves not only Adam’s story but that of his mother, Camille. I won’t give spoilers but I will say, as a parent, I could identify with parts of Camille’s behavior while at other times I disliked her immensely. Adam is a pretty cool kid and I truly enjoyed the arc his story took. It stayed consistent throughout, not making him into some kind of immediate superhero, yet showing the growth of the character. I can’t even get into the aliens because it would give so much away. If I could give it ten stars I would in a heartbeat. Fantastic book! The author gave me a copy of this book and this review is my honest opinion. ***Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official. ***

very entertaining and full of facts as well as fictional ideas.
