About the book
About Initiation
Your home is a smoking ruin and everyone you love or trust is missing presumed dead. You're fourteen, alone, and the only survivor of an odd community regarded as UFO freaks. The cops are used to interviewing minorities like you and they want answers, but if you tell the truth they'll think you're insane. Except maybe one cop - the lesbian youth aid detective who doesn't know her girlfriend is dumping her. Because you know to escape the aliens closing net you're going to need all the help you can get. Part One of Changels Genesis, Initiation is the beginning of two stories: How Sam Kahu, a young Maori teen from Northland, fled his drug dealing gangster father and became a Changel; and how lesbian detective constable Sue Williams became part of the most incredible secret war on Earth
