Kaleem Malkendy is different – and on Terrestra, different is no way to be.
Everything
about Kaleem marks him out from the rest. The blond hair and dark
skin, the humble cave where he lives and the fact that he doesn’t know
his father. He’s used to unwelcome attention - but even so, he’d feel
better if some strange old man didn’t keep following him around.
Then the man introduces himself and begins to explain the Babel Prophecy – and everything in Kaleem’s life changes forever.
The Prophecy is also available from Amazon. Signed copies are available via Gill's website.
The Prophecy isn't the flashiest book on the shelf. But for
fans of YA sci-fi and dystopia, it's the kind of novel that truly
satisfies that desire to explore new worlds. It's thought-provoking and
it's unique. I enjoyed it whole-heartedly and will be looking forward
to visiting Gill James' vision of the future again in the second Peace Child novel. Those who enjoy stories set in the future should definitely consider giving this out-of-the-ordinary tale a look.

'The Prophecy' is a very good story. Gill James
shows her talent for world-building and through this futuristic tale, touches on
themes very relevant in today’s world, including the damage done by pollution
and racial differences. It really left me thinking about where Planet Earth
might end up in the future.
- Jo Linsdell, Writers and AuthorsWe are taken on an exciting and eventful journey to the Planet Zandra,
where we see Kaleem fulfil his role as the Peace Child. (The Prophecy) is a fast
paced, easy to read children’s story, with page-turning tension in all
the right places.
- Amanda Donovan, hackwriters.comThis book fascinated me.... science fiction fans, especially boys, should lap it up.
- Maggie Desmond-O'Brien, maggiesbookshelf.blogspot.com
I really enjoyed Kaleem's character and the mystery surrounding his parents, his birth, and his
"occupation". The holoprogrammes were neat and I loved how we were shown the way other people lived on their respective planets.... Overall,
the book was enjoyable and I found that as I became more immersed in
Kaleem's world, I was left wondering what's going to happen next. I
definitely will be picking up the next book in the trilogy when it
comes out
