Description
JOIN THE TEAM. SAVE THE WORLD.
Transcendent: Forgotten Earth follows the story of transcendent agents and twin geniuses Jacob and Kira, who have been defeated as the world plunges into climate change oblivion. Their last hope lies in confronting the villainous billionaire Nosfer within the Oracle virtual reality universe that ensnares the population. However, inside this universe, they must play by his rules.
As the twins face tragedy within their own lives, their deepest and darkest thoughts are projected within the intoxicating world of the Oracle. Despite the challenges, there is hope buried deep inside.
With a mysterious trail emerging, only Jacob and Kira can track it down and uncover the truth—a secret that may be the only way to free the world and prevent a climate change catastrophe from descending forever.
Two kids, one top-secret agency, and an epic mission to save the world.

About the Author
Patrick Gallagher is a primary school teacher from South London with roots in Goa in India and Donegal in Ireland. He studied English and American Literature with Creative Writing in both Kent and Maynooth and is a keen artist and violinist in his spare time.
Like lots of Goans of that generation, Patrick's mother was born and raised in Uganda and the time he himself has spent there inspired the spectacular backdrop to Transcendent.Jacob and Kira's story has been years in the making. It draws not only on Patrick's experience of dual heritage but every science-fiction and adventure story he devoured as a child, every Doctor Who episode and Spider-Man cartoon, every comic or short story he scribbled on scrap paper, every daydream on long car journeys.To Patrick's class and every other child reading Transcendent, he would like to say this: if you love writing stories, keep going.You never know. You might just never stop.Also by Patrick Gallagher
