Dominion Over All

When the last living magic cat and her flying canine companion shows up on your doorstep with an offer you can't refuse, it can sure throw a wrench into an otherwise normal teenage life.

Despite running his own zoo, Zak Bates considers himself pretty normal for a thirteen-year-old. Visited by Ra-Kit, a scruffy feline with some serious catnip issues, he's ill-prepared for the life-or-death assignment that follows. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Zak must represent the Animal Kingdom at a United Nations Conference on Global Warming, convince world government to stop poisoning the planet, broker interspecies peace, and diffuse an impending, bloody rebellion—just a bit harder than algebra!

A call to arms, to wings and fins...

An eloquent environmental message for our times!

Dominion Over All is Book I of the Zak Bates Eco-Adventure Series—Young Adult novels intended for those who wish to preserve Earth's beauty.

Don't miss any of the adventures starting with Ra-Kit's Initiation, a prequel to the Zak Bates Eco-adventure series that currently includes Dominion Over All, Endangered, and Ghost Elephant.

Reviews:

I have just finished this book, full of suspense and difficult to put down! 

Brad Swift's Dominion Over All is a delight. Both youth and adult readers can relate to young Zak's rite of passage into an adventurer's life. 

Young Boy and his dog, a Magic Cat, a Flying Dog and a poisoned world, what more can you ask for. This was a delight to read, kept me turning the pages, and waiting to see how it all would come together. My 8yr old, 13yr old, and even 15yr old, enjoyed the story. 

This is a wonderful story of adventure as Zak, with the help of his new friends, finds the strength within himself to do what he never thought possible.
