'For scientist Robyn Greene, her laboratory is a second home. Here she searches for the ancient gene that is supposed to enable humans to communicate with animals. After years of failure, she’s beginning to wonder if the gene is a myth. But when she stumbles across a strange genetic mutation, Robyn’s world turns upside down. The man posing as her boss is, in fact, an operative of the mysterious international organisation, the MRI. Worse, they have dark plans to exploit her discovery. In a race against time, Robyn must track down the individuals with this rare gene before the MRI turns them into lab rats. But when she meets the three teenagers, she realises that protecting them from the MRI is not only about saving their lives. Fletcher, Ariana and Eli are capable of more than anyone realises; they are part of an ancient cycle designed to keep the Earth in balance. A terrible future awaits the planet if the MRI gains control of Robyn and her research before she’s figured out the kindred ties that bind these teenagers.'

2y Emergence Ulladulla : Harbour Publishing House , 2018 13505018 2018 single work novel young adult science fiction
'Our world has forgotten about the walkers. Able to communicate with animals, they maintained the balance between the physical and spirit worlds. Now, scientist Robyn Greene has found their modern day reincarnations: Fletcher, Ariana and Eli. But they’re not the only ones with the ability to communicate with animals: a small percentage of the population also has the Convergence gene. Using herself as a guinea pig, Robyn discovers how to activate this gene, but the breakthrough comes at a terrible price.
'The MRI has stolen the bio-technology and is seizing Convergers across the world, desperate to control the weapon these teenagers represent. Reeling from loss and betrayal, Robyn adjusts to her new abilities while keeping the walkers safe as they grow into their powers. But time is running out: a catastrophic solar storm threatens to release a dark spirit that will imperil the entire planet. Only Robyn can set things right, but can she figure out the MRI’s plans and bring the Earth back into balance before it’s too late?'
