Fyn Carter and the Agents of Eromlos is the start of an exciting new sci-fi series which completely gripped me and has left me eager for Fyn’s next adventure.
12-year-old Fyn Carter is woken by a storm in the middle of the night and has such a strange experience that he assumes it is a dream, but could the warning message he receives from a stranger speaking through a world window be real? Could it be the key to finding his father who has been missing for eight years?
With his mother and best friend Amy’s parents setting off on a top-secret expedition, Fyn and Amy are sent to the countryside to stay with Fyn’s Grandad, Bernie. On their way back from a day exploring, Fyn and Amy rescue an injured young fox, who they name Henry Flame, after he is attacked by a stranger’s dog, a stranger who knows Fyn’s name. Could this be the agent that the man in the world window has warned him about?
When another storm arrives and danger threatens, the world window opens and Fyn, Amy, Bernie and Henry Flame take a leap of faith and find themselves in a parallel Earth: Eromlos.
And so begins an action-packed, thrilling adventure as Fyn finds himself in a race against the agents of Eromlos to find the answers he has been searching for most of his life. Can Fyn learn who to trust as danger hunts him and his friends as they move towards discovering some incredible truths? Could Fyn, unwittingly, be the key that can save a multiverse that is in peril?
I absolutely loved this electrifying adventure which I devoured in one sitting. I really enjoyed not knowing who to trust which increased the tension and threat, and made me worry for many of the characters. There are some brilliant revelations in this story that have made me eager to continue this series. I was fascinated by Eromlos which is a parallel Earth where most of the inhabitants live without technology, but where a few use their technological advantage to control the lives of others and abuse their power.
Fyn and Amy are wonderful characters who have an amazing friendship: supportive, trusting and loyal. They show so much courage and determination in facing the agents of Eromlos, and in standing up for themselves and others. Grandad Bernie is absolutely brilliant and I loved that an older person is such an active part of the adventure.
An exhilarating start to a superb new sci-fi series with friendship and family at its heart, perfect for young adventurers of 9+.
