"A Leaf That Floats Upstream," is a challenge, it is intentionally controversial and directed to jolt people out of their apathy. As the title suggests, the book goes against the flow and appeals to the rebel that resides somewhere within us all, yet rejects impositions the minorities seem to think they can inflict on humanity. This is about choice, your choice, do you care enough about the future of all life on Earth to make the commitment which is becoming so vital to the generations yet to be born? In writing this book, in many ways I am challenging the very pillars of our civilization, institutions which have grown into the monstrosities which loom over us and control our lives.

This sequel to ‘A Leaf That Floats Upstream” is concerned with many of the same concerns regarding issues and problems facing humanity and our environment, but where the first book assumed a position, outlining the issues in a confrontational, controversial manner, intended to shock and was always meant as a direct challenge, “A Leaf on a Quest” looks at why the problems exist, what are the causes? The more these problems are examined, the more incongruous they appear. What perverse characteristic in human nature could possibly empower civilization, the instrument of the people, to wantonly destroy all that is vital to safeguard the continuance of humanity and all life on the planet: the planet which itself was the source of all living things that inhabit its surface? It is a living, breathing, self-consuming conundrum, one, which is at first glance, impossible to accept, it is just too ridiculous to be credible. Yet it does exist, it is all around us, and we have been and are responsible for the creation of this embodiment of crass stupidity. Every single problem which is currently a threat to our continued existence has been caused by humanity, or can we attribute responsibility to that mindless machine, civilization. It is all a result of attitude, the attitude of every living person, society and nation on the face of the Earth.

The people of Earth and all life forms in the 21st Century are facing total extinction. In a desperate bid to reach out to a new species when they believe the Earth will regenerate. The Time Capsules they leave are discovered and assist a species, The Waterborn to develop and eventually travel into space.

The Waterborn Saga is a fictional continuation of two previous narrative non-fiction books, relating to social and environmental problems. These in turn highlight factors and issues that almost certainly; do threaten the future of life on Earth. So there is, even in these works of fiction, a message, perhaps a reminder, a warning to us all. Having said that, the story takes us into the lives and minds of both those who, even as they are facing certain death, are going to extraordinary lengths to reach out to those they believe will come after them. We, to some extent follow the stages of regeneration which produces a new species, then become part of their lives as they evolve, sharing in their joys and the sorrows, their successes and their failures. It is impossible to assign this book any particular genre because it covers many. Consider, mental telepathy and telekinetic levitation, venturing into the shadowy realm of the paranormal, using our psychic powers in battles pitched against the dark powers of the occult, science fiction as our evolving race become part of an advanced space travelling Empire. Fantasy and mythology are an integral part of their ancestry, and as they reach millions of years into the future, they merge as one, forming the story of which we are part; we share in the lives of the Waterborn as they carry us into the worlds of the future.
