Falconer Blood

‘Falconer Blood’ - Book 1 Infinite Worlds deals with Dan Falconer of Melbourne – 16 years old – awkward, spineless and bullied. A girl claiming to be his half-sister, already an accomplished traveller between worlds, rescues him from some ‘classmates’ and takes him to 1720 Jamaica to try to rescue Anne Bonny – about to be hanged. John Falconer, their father, ‘adventurer among the worlds’, has become Calico Jack Rackham – by taking the name of a nonentity who died of the fever and working his way up to pirate leader. However, he has ‘gone bad’ as a bloodthirsty murderer.
The reason for the powers the Falconer adolescents possess – telekinesis and the ability to travel between parallel worlds - is elusive. It is thought to be genetic – in the blood.
Dan has secretly fallen in love with is half-sister, Bess, but can’t admit this. She regards him with amused contempt for most of this book. Dan knows he has cousins ‘down the coast’ from Melbourne, but has never met them.
