Osaka Kindle Edition
An investigation into a nuclear near-accident reveals results so strange that, at first, nobody takes them seriously. But one or two individuals make a connection to something much older…
At the heart of it is a story which dates back over fifty years to another unique moment: the Woodstock Festival. There, two men - Peter Marriott, the hip British film-maker, and Daniel Firdaus, leader of a secretive Californian cult - saw something happen that no-one else fully understood; something which they could only describe as an evolutionary shift in humanity itself. Both have been pursuing it ever since: Marriott, out of a sense of duty to humanity; Firdaus entirely for his own power.
In a war that lasted decades, a tiny group of people who had their start at Woodstock – East London gangsters, refugees from the California “scene”, a former KGB spy and a (possibly mad) Glaswegian cameraman known as Raging Dennis - came together around Marriott. They fought against the odds – and against Firdaus and his increasingly powerful organisation - to discover the truth about something which could change the world forever. Eventually, for most of them, the dream died.
Now it is, once again, a reality.
In Osaka, two wildly-talented young women - the actual product of the evolutionary shift - have created something miraculous: a way of transmitting it to others. As Masako Kobayashi and Hope Van Doren struggle to comprehend what they have unleashed, humanity in Osaka begins to change before their very eyes: and the world begins to notice.
There begins a final battle: not just for survival - but for the future of the human race…

About the author

www.mtynebooks.wixsite.com/mtyne
Michael Tyne was born in 1964 in Lancashire, England. During the course of what is usually described as a "chequered" career, he has worked as a Stock Market analyst, a van-driver, a labourer, a bartender and a restaurant manager. He is now employed in what he calls Car World, which still isn't sure quite what to make of him.
He has been writing for thirty years, and began to publish as an independent in 2014, completing his apocalyptic fantasy trilogy, "The Shattered Land" in early 2017. His fourth novel "The Last Great Radio Show (A Short Novel about Rock Music and Ghosts)" is in a gentler, more humourous vein, whilst continuing his imaginative fascination with his native Great Britain, and with the "hidden worlds" which might exist beneath the surface of its society. His latest book, “Sharkey” continues on similar themes.
Michael has lived, at various times, in London, Norfolk and Bermuda; but settled in a small town in the Peak District of England nearly twenty years ago, on the basis that he's been dreaming of a quiet life since he was seventeen and has finally found one.
