Angelman Rising

By D. Warren Von

Non-verbal and severely disabled, Eric endures a life of silent solitude locked inside a body that doesn't work. Until now-now, something is locked in with him. This near-future novel tells the tale of a young man after he is attacked by a time-traveling parasite. The story unfolds as Eric gains the memories and knowledge of the alien society after the first step of the enrichment process is completed; yet, further enrichment is neutralized by Eric's genetic condition. - I invite you to venture inside the autistic mind and join Eric as he struggles to break through his genomic barriers and share his newfound knowledge; - Meet Jon and VAL as they blast their way to Mars in a VisioM Interplanetary Pulse Engine Rocket; - Discover summer love with Sheila and Ricky in a vintage 1979 Pontiac Trans Am; and - Regroup in the cavernous refuge of the abandoned salt mines under Lake Erie to take a stand against the invasion, build a time-machine and travel back in time to set things right. We all know that never works out... This story was inspired by my own son's struggle with Angelman Syndrome. Genetically disabled folks aren't supposed to be superheroes. Until now-now, come join the adventure and make witness to Angelman Rising.
