O knihe
A medical student vanishes on a beach in Western Australia while trying to rescue a drowning victim. Nick Morrow "falls," landing on a strange planet. Luckily, he possesses a mysterious book left by a dead man, and has learned the skills that will help him gain the incredible strength needed to help him on his strange journey. Nick survives the ordeals by using the power gained after killing a holy snake.
Among the remarkable places he journeys is an underground city, where Nick defeats a gang, returns freedom to the people, and marries the leader's daughter. He visits an odd garden where a 145-year-old man has the body of a teenager. Eventually Nick returns to Earth after a boat sinks in the ocean. A half century has passed, but during that time Nick's body hasn't aged, despite the years he's been gone.
The story is action-packed but not violent, with the author proposing ideas about dignity, happiness, and how to keep your body strong while fighting against illness and ageing.
Hoa Minh Truong was born in a small village in Vietnam. He grew up and volunteered to join the South Vietnamese army in their fight against communists. "After Saigon was lost in 1975, I was imprisoned six years in nine hellish re-education camps, survived, and escaped by a small boat. I resettled to a new life in Western Australia in 1983, and have never returned to my homeland."
