Children with powers that they don't understand. One man guides them with Spirit, the other with Evil.
When the world is faced with a new level of evolution, two things can happen. It can be good or it can be bad. This is a story of how these two forces must come to terms with their powers and to deal with that humanistic nature of what is good or bad.
Author B. Alan Bourgeois has written a fast pace novel about the new level of evolution known as the Star Children or the Indigo Children. This is a story of a man who tries to redeem himself by teaching these children how to use their powers for good. Sadly though, he blew his first chance and it has come back to haunt him.
Excerpt
Intro
Aeril sat across from her younger brother at the dinner table as she always did. Her father sat at the head of the table to her right, a spot that was left empty on more occasions than she knew it should be. Her mother, who sat across from her dad and to Aeril's left had told her that her father's job was only for four years and that Aeril should feel privileged that her dad worked for the President of the United States. At age 12, Aeril understood the importance of such a job, but she really didn't care. She wanted her dad to be home more often than not. She didn't want him around 24/7, but a hell of a lot more than two or three nights a week.
As expected, Aeril's dad tried to engage his children in conversation about their lives, a task that was proving harder and harder to do, especially with Aeril. This night was no exception.
The dinner plates were being cleared from the table when out of the blue Aeril froze still for a brief moment. She then looked up at her dad with a cold look in her normally soft blue eyes and told him that she had a surprise for him. Without asking to be excused from the table, Aeril left to fetch her gift. Both dad and mom looked at each other wondering about Aeril's sudden action. It wouldn't take long for them to see what the surprise was.
By the time Ariel returned to the table, her family was eating cut apples for dessert. Aeril's brother was the first to see her walk in with a Colt .45 in her right hand, pointing it directly at her father.
"Cool," her brother began to say, "where...."
A piercing gun shot could be heard as Aeril's father fell forward in his seat with his head falling into his dessert plate breaking the dish.
Aeril's mom jumped up at that moment looking between Aeril and her dad in shock at what just happened. Before her mother could pull her thoughts together, Aeril turned the gun on her and fired. Another thumping sound could be heard as a body fell onto the table breaking yet another dessert plate.
By now, Aeril's brother was under the table trying to hide from Aeril, but that too was a waste of time and energy. Aeril bent down, found him and shot one round into his head as he pleaded for his life.
It took Aeril no more than 90 seconds to kill her family. It would be no more than three minutes more before she would hear the faint sounds of sirens rushing down the Virginia roads towards her house. She heard the final gun shot sound as she took her own life while sitting at the dinner table.
Neither the Secret Service, nor the FBI, nor the State Troopers would be able to fully understand what had happened that night. The Colt .45 pistol was untraceable, and other than Aeril's suicide, there was no indication of any outside influence credited to the family murders. The final reports were written up in less than 30 days reporting a distraught daughter killing her family prior to killing herself.
This was the third time a crime like this had taken place around the world in less than one year. No one in the law enforcement agencies saw a connection. They were just sad events that happen around the world. An increasing aspect of today's life.

Children of powerful people start killing their parents. Anxious to understand, the U.S. government calls in Phillip and his team of Indigo Children. Phillip quickly realizes his earliest protégé (and ex-lover) is behind the murders. Set partly in Houston by a local author, this is a tale of good versus evil, redemption, and second chances. Much as I want to say I don't really like this book, I found it difficult to put down.
