ÔFalconer BloodÕ - Book 1 Infinite Worlds deals with Dan Falconer of Melbourne Ð 16 years old Ð awkward, spineless and bullied. A girl claiming to be his half-sister, already an accomplished traveller between worlds, rescues him from some ÔclassmatesÕ and takes him to 1720 Jamaica to try to rescue Anne Bonny Ð about to be hanged. John Falconer, their father, Ôadventurer among the worldsÕ, has become Calico Jack Rackham Ð by taking the name of a nonentity who died of the fever and working his way up to pirate leader. However, he has Ôgone badÕ as a bloodthirsty murderer.
The reason for the powers the Falconer adolescents possess Ð telekinesis or the ability to travel between parallel worlds - is elusive. It is thought to be genetic Ð in the blood.
Dan has secretly fallen in love with his half-sister, Bess. He also has trouble adjusting to living on the dangerous edge of the 18th Century Ð where life is cheap Ð and usually short.
