Table of ContentsReviewsA fun, action-packed thriller with a brother-sister duo that I really loved * David Owen * Fans of the Alex Rider series will love this adventure story * Booktrust * High octane, high emotion, occasionally terrifying and utterly riveting...the plot of Transcendent is crammed with action and cool technological gadgets and, to pack it all in, the pace is fast' * ReadingZone * A cracking debut novel from Patrick Gallagher...the story races along at break-neck speed, diving through one plot twist after another. I turned the last page with a disappointed 'no!' as I longed for more and I'll be eagerly awaiting the sequel * Books For Topics * A fresh look at the concept of 'Otherness' from a sci-fi perspective. Amid the battle for minds that is central to the ever-twisting plot of Transcendent, the idea that rather than accepting responsibility we bury our heads in fantasy and blame our problems on unknown Others resonates loudest * The Irish Examiner * A fun, action-packed thriller with a brother-sister duo that I really loved * David Owen * Author InformationPatrick Gallagher is a primary school teacher from South London with roots in Goa in India and Donegal in Ireland. He studied English and American Literature with Creative Writing in both Kent and Maynooth and is a keen artist and violinist in his spare time. Like lots of Goans of that generation, Patrick's mother was born and raised in Uganda and the time he himself has spent there inspired the spectacular backdrop to Transcendent. Jacob and Kira's story has been years in the making. It draws not only on Patrick's experience of dual heritage but every science-fiction and adventure story he devoured as a child, every Doctor Who episode and Spider-Man cartoon, every comic or short story he scribbled on scrap paper, every daydream on long car journeys. To Patrick's class and every other child reading Transcendent, he would like to say this: if you love writing stories, keep going. You never know. You might just never stop.
