About the Book

Cosmic Aviators(R) Series - Nathaniel's 1st Adventure Twelve-year old Nathaniel Ravenscroft discovers he has telekinetic skills. When neighbour Doctor Crisp dies, he bequeaths a magical wristwatch to Nathaniel. Fantastic events unfold, household objects move by themselves and a hologram of Doctor Crisp appears. Nathaniel meets a cosmic boy called Theodore Firestar. Theodore explains that the existence and progression of the Cosmos relies on the golden radiance of ten special golden pentacles. Nathaniel's dog, Otto, falls into the fourth dimension where Nathaniel meets Ruben and Octavia, space travellers from another planet. They unite as the Cosmic Aviators, each armed with a gifted watch and rocket boots for space travel. Ruben and Octavia tell Nathaniel about an evil man called Sebastian who is aided by pilot demons called Maxidroids. Sebastian is slowly destroying Ruben and Octavia's home planet. Nathaniel is shocked when he finds out that the evil Sebastian is his Uncle Sebastian from Littlehampton, U.K. His mind reminisces about a time when he overheard his uncle talk of the "Curse of the black diamonds" giving him the "Dark edge on reality". Nathaniel realizes that his uncle has been living a double life thriving on evil and contempt. Can Nathaniel stop his uncle from destroying planet Granberg and planet Earth? Can Nathaniel and the other Cosmic Aviators stop the Dark Triangle of Odium, Maximus (the Maxidroid leader) and the Maxidroids from destroying the universe?

About the Author :
G.E.F. Neilson was born on 30th November 1975 in St. Andrews, Scotland, UK.

Review :
The story starts with Nathaniel Ravenscroft, the 12 year old hero, enjoying a bike ride with his friend Tyler, playing children's fantasy games, griping about how mundane their life in small town Littlehampton is, and, as with all great children's fiction, unaware of the fantastic adventures he will face ahead. Neilson introduces the main protagonist early which nicely sets the tone for the remainder of the book. The heroes and villains are easily accessible. Nathaniel is a likable young man, smart and sporty who obviously cares for his physically weaker, bookish friend Tyler, nicely highlighted by the banter the two share in the early chapters - probably the most endearing character relationship in the book. The supporting cast all help to build Nathaniel's character and the story, Professor Ravenscroft, the Archetypal 'Absent Minded Professor, the 'Evil Uncle' Sebastian and, of course, Ruben and Octavia, the Cosmic Aviators of the title. The main cosmic story arc is enjoyable, without being overly complicated and Neilson displays a talent for understanding what young readers will find exciting. The two worlds, one ordinary and one fantastical has obviously been used before in children's fiction, but very rarely in a Science Fiction setting, and I have to admit it works. What could have easily been a generic Fantasy, with Wizards and Elves is transformed into an action/adventure perfect for a generation growing up with Star Wars and Doctor Who. I particularly liked the boys mistaking the aliens as witches and their weapons for wands, a nice little twist that marks this book apart from others of the same genre. Neilson's writing style is fluid, with an obvious affection for the characters, which pulls the reader into the story. The most enjoyable aspect of the book is the authors understanding of how to set an adventure that will keep the younger reader hooked. The pace is perfect, allowing time for the characters to define themselves, but with the action building slowly to keep the reader's attention. Neilson does not patronise her target audience with overly simplistic language, a trap that too many Children's Authors fall into, but writes with a rare acknowledgment of the language skills of the young. There may be times when some readers will need to ask the meaning of a word, but anything that increases a child's vocabulary can only be a good thing. Overall, the book is challenging, but not overly so as to be off putting. It's a great adventure story, entertaining, well thought out and will keep its readers turning the page to see what happens next. As this is listed as Nathaniel's first adventure, I really do hope we see more of his escapades in the forth-dimension in the future. This book has the makings of a fantastic series, more please.
