Ashalon

Manifesting powers that he never dreamed possible, a twelve year old boy discovers to his amazement that his real name and identity is Ashalon, the descendant and heir to ancient, extraterrestrial bloodline spanning thousands of generations  that has only now reached its fruition.

Driven by an event that inflicts excruciating loss and emotional trauma on his young psyche,  the boy begins to use his abilities to save others from suffering the same by intervening in natural disasters of all kinds to save as many lives as he can. His selfless acts of heroism however bring him to the attention of forces that for reasons which will soon become clear, seek his destruction.

Set here on R9871 and an interstellar life zone light years away, it's a story Inspired equal parts by the vision of Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Christiaan Huygens, it's exciting, insightful and above all, fun.
