The by Owen Knight
Fourteen years ago, Peter saved the world. Now, his sister Emily and two strangers receive coded invitations to return to the hidden village of Templewood, where Peter faces a new, terrifying threat. Templewood is home to the Sect, a secretive organisation intent on global power. They have infiltrated many Governments and are collaborating with the Visitors: alien invaders who have brought gifts of advanced scientific and genetic discoveries. These gifts will potentially provide enormous benefits for humanity and facilitate the Sect’s bid for power. But at what cost and what is the Visitors' motive? Why are they taking, then retuning, increasing numbers of the local population? Peter, Emily, and their friends must uncover the truth before their worst fears are confirmed.
Praise for Another Life;Another Life is a beautiful and thought-provoking meditation on the meaning and purpose of life, seen through the lens of a mystery story steeped in English folklore… The book’s narrative voice and its depiction of details from the natural world are outstanding;British Fantasy Society;‘Owen Knight blends a sense of mystery and ancient spirituality with profound questions about personal identity. The narrative interweaves dreams, memories and present reality, as the reader is led forward towards the book's revelatory conclusion.’;Dr Mel Thompson, best-selling philosophy author;Intriguing metaphysical folk-thriller… A fusion of reality, dreams and time jumps - that shines a light on the classic folklore legends of the green man and mixes lost love with a mystery tale.;Matt Adcock, writer and film/book critic.
