A young scientist must do the impossible to stop a merciless enemy from unleashing a monstrous evil into our world.
"Children born on a Saturday are special," Gemma's foster grandmother used to tell her. Abandoned by two sets of parents, Gemma---now a promising young scientist---doesn't feel special. After a mugging lands her in a Chicago hospital, she doesn't feel particularly lucky either. Paralyzed and deprived of speech, she knows that luck alone can’t save her life and soul and the world itself from a formidable enemy wielding ancient powers. In a desperate struggle to regain movement, she discovers another world. Living among us are beings we may sometimes glimpse as fleeting shadows. We dismiss them as just a floater in the eyes. Now, Gemma knows different. She can move and speak in this dangerous and wondrous Otherworld. But can she find a way to fight and defeat the very material enemy who paralyzed her? Will she find the courage to open her scientific worldview to the power of fairytale and myth?
With shades of Tim Powers, and Stephen King, “Saturday’s Child” is a thriller and an adventure and a mystery of discovering a new reality and a new self while flighting to survive and maybe even save the world.
