The source of the magnetic disturbances plaguing the boy’s young mind has been waiting, for more than ten thousand years…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     “AKTIYA: The Ignition Sequence” begins with Julien, a clairvoyant teenager coming of age amongst the heavy security, the curfew, and the incinerators of the not-too-distant future— Seattle, in the year 2056.  Julien suffers from a childhood nightmare that has returned, with a growing intensity.  After undergoing hypnosis with a local psychic, Julien is convinced that a mysterious force is beckoning him, to a specific location set deep in the Cascade Mountains of central Washington.  \u003cbr\u003e     Meanwhile, in the small town of Mazama, 200 miles to the northeast, a sudden explosion rips through a local convenience store.  A suspect, “Ca-Siem”, is taken into custody.  Ca-Siem claims to be an intergalactic traveler from a faraway planet, searching for a machine that went missing more than 10,000 years ago. His search coincides with the legend of “Aktiya”, a mythical guardian that the Native Americans believe will rise and reclaim Planet Earth.

The coordinates point to a clearing, set deep in the Cascade Mountains of central Washington.\u003cbr\u003e     This is the story of two souls, two souls that are millions of light years apart, linked by a frequency that knows no boundaries.  Some believe it to be a savior; others believe it to be a cataclysm.  Julien and Ca-Siem must confront humanity’s “tragic design flaws” as well as their own personal demons, if they are to learn the truth about the machine lying beneath the mysterious clearing…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ewww.aktiya.com","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145833955568,"sku":"2940013814509","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013814509_p0.jpg?v=1763595071","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013814509","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
