Dreamland Diaries

At almost fifteen, Brad Hitchens discovers an alien artifact buried deep in the roots of a fallen ancient cypress. His efforts to uncover the origin of the simple metal rod bring mortal danger to himself and his family. Forced to move in with distant relations, he takes up a new identity and learns to live among the offshore fishing community of Apalachicola, Florida. An accident at sea hides the artifact away for years. In Part 2, Brad, now a college graduate, has the skill set required to confront the agents of the government who have been relentless in their pursuit of him and his long-time girlfriend, Connie.
