Falconer Blood

'Falconer Blood' - Book 1 Infinite Worlds deals with Dan Falconer of Melbourne - 16 years old - awkward spineless and bullied. A girl claiming to be his half-sister already an accomplished traveller between worlds rescues him from some 'classmates' and takes him to 1720 Jamaica to try to rescue Anne Bonny - about to be hanged. John Falconer their father 'adventurer among the worlds' has become Calico Jack Rackham - by taking the name of a nonentity who died of the fever and working his way up to pirate leader. However he has 'gone bad' as a bloodthirsty murderer. The reason for the powers the Falconer adolescents possess - telekinesis or the ability to travel between parallel worlds - is elusive. It is thought to be genetic - 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 - where life is cheap - and usually short.
