I first came across the writings of Lindsay
Delaney through her 'Strawberry Fairies' series of books for
children. She is an author who always writes with her readers in
mind, crafting sentences they can understand, and always in such
a way that you can't help but lose yourself in the tale.
Awakening Nicholas, for mature readers, is no exception. It is
intelligent, witty, exciting; a great read for all who love
good, wholesome, fantastical adventure. I own two copies, and
wouldn't part with either!Nigel

When Nicholas wakes on an enchanted
island called Bliss, he has no memory of his former life and doesn't
recognize the large house staff that's so glad to see him.
He's told by his guide Leo that he's been transported from
his life in the 18th Century to the year 2015.
He is the incarnation of the spirit of St. Nicholas.
Yes, there really was a St. Nicholas, and it is his unique
spirit that strives to reach the best of all people once a year.
But once a year isn't enough for a dying planet anymore.
His new mission will be to rescue individuals and families
who are pure in spirit so that they may repopulate the earth.
The mission to change the world starts
with Nicholas taking his own soon-to-be bodyguard from the ranks of
King Arthur�s army.
Geoffrey is just as surprised as Nicholas was, but is intrigued and
honoured to be chosen among all of the world, indeed, all of time.
Together, the two men then set out to find others like them.
Their journeys take them to places like
1890's
Wyoming to rescue a frontier
family facing massacre, the Titanic, and to modern day
Lake Tahoe.
It is there that Geoffrey and Nicholas meet cousins Claire and
Heather, women who will become their wives.
There's nothing, it seems, that Leo doesn't know.
Leo is truly otherworldly, and the father of Claire. He
almost lost his wife (Ciara) and Clair when his enemies got too
close. Though Ciara
died, Clair has been restored to him and is a big part of his plan
for earth. Since she
and cousin Heather run an orphanage that's closing, it's only
natural that the children will become part of the plans on Bliss.
It is to be a series of journeys to
bring the new parents of the orphans to Bliss that will be Nicholas'
great challenge.
Because the end of the world as we know it is coming.
Floods, earthquakes and natural disasters of every kind will
leave few survivors. It
is time for a new beginning, and Nicholas is ecstatic to be a part
of it. He always
believed that love is the only reason to make any decision.
What greater way to save the earth and rescue those who
deserve to see another day?
In the tradition of Lord of the Rings, and the Star Wars Trilogy
comes a story of adventure, danger, and love where all that
hangs in the balance is the fate of mankind on earth.
Awakening Nicholas will stir the pure spirit in anyone
who reads it. Who knows, maybe it's the beginning of a new era
for our kind.
