Ghosts of Vanga
14.99 €
Three-year-old Vangie is mute and indifferent to those around her. Her indifference to people and the world worries her adoptive parents, leading them to suspect autism. But they don't know that Vangie is preoccupied with something else: she observes "ghosts"—an infinite number of versions of herself in an infinite number of parallel universes.
When a tornado destroys her trailer and gravely injures her, Vangie makes a desperate leap to another timeline, where she survives and her adoptive parents die. Thus begins her life of wandering between foster homes, honing her abilities to seek out alternate realities, making leaps to alter her destiny—and evading adults who seek to exploit her power for their own gain.
For a long time, Vangie is estranged from her avatars, until one day the "Council"—a gathering of Vangies from different worlds—appears to her. They warn her of a sinister threat growing in the multiverse: a man named Massiva. Thus begins an epic battle, spanning millennia and worlds, for control of the fate of all existence.
"Ghosts of Vanga" is a blend of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and sharp realism that will appeal to fans of Lucius Shepard, Theodore Sturgeon, Mike Carey, Elizabeth Hand, and Paul Tremblay.
