Twist of Evolution is a contemporary novel with a science fiction/fantasy twist. It follows the diverse fortunes of James, his brother Freddie, Meisha and Trafur - four individuals whose fates are bound together by an incredible truth. James McLaren is a normal teenager who lives on the west coast of Scotland. He and his younger brother Freddie are anything but ordinary. While James has vivid, waking dreams of people and places he neither knows nor recognises, Freddie is unaware that he is different until a chance encounter with two old ladies changes everything. James discovers the truth about his family's past and why he and his brother are so special. The answers lead them on an incredible journey of self-discovery with perilous consequences for them and their family. Meisha and Trafur couldn't be more dissimilar. She is the daughter of the Chancellor of a renegade colony while he is a hapless farmhand. However, as Meisha's once privileged and ordered life turns to chaos when she becomes embroiled in a kidnap plot, Trafur embarks on an adventure where he will learn about the desperate plague which afflicts his world and the mysterious Cleansings which claimed his father's life. As Meisha, Trafur, James and Freddie are unwittingly drawn into a deadly game of political skullduggery and lethal conspiracy, they begin to discover some incredible truths about themselves and each other which will bind them together and affirm their improbable destiny as potentially the only ones standing between the human race and its ultimate extinction. Twist of Evolution is the beginning of a tremendous adventure encompassing diverse civilizations who share a common heritage and will pose disturbing questions about humanity's dreadful ancestry and its ultimate destiny. Can humanity avoid the mistakes of the past or is it doomed to annihilation.
