I’m always looking for something different. Keeping my eye out for the unusual. The Transition of Johnny Swift fits that category. I’d like to say it’s an otherworldly mystery/thriller.

There’s fast cars and an imaginary friend, or is he. Come meet the Shadow-man and find out for yourself!

THE TRANSITION OF JOHNNY SWIFT

By  Kerry J Donovan

 

THE TRANSITION OF JOHNNY SWIFT is the story of one young man’s fight to save his family from a threat nobody else can see or understand.

Frank Brazier—the book’s lead character and narrator—is a successful racing driver a single step away from the big time. After a night celebrating a win, he takes the train to London with his sister, Paula. The train derails and sends Frank into a hellish world of pain and confusion.

Three days later, Frank wakes in hospital with horrific injuries. Blind in one eye, suffering intense migraines, he can barely move. Worse still, he hears impossible voices that cannot exist.

In the next room, Paula is on life support. The doctors say she’s dead. They want to pull the plug on her machines, but Frank knows better—one of the voices he hears is Paula.

The book follows Frank’s slow recovery from his physical injuries and his battle to save both Paula and the rest of his family. The doctors dismiss his clams as the wild ramblings of a man with brain damage. Neither his father nor girlfriend believes him either.

Only his imagined, elusive friend, Shadow-man believes. But is Shadow-man real? And if so, is he there to help or harm?
