Dive into the adventure that launched a universe! "Discovery!" is the first book in the thrilling Dream Fighter Chronicles series, captivating readers with a tale of courage, mystery, and extraordinary powers. It’s a journey perfect for families and readers of all ages, from 8 to 88.

One ordinary night, five cousins fall asleep in their grandparents' basement, only to find themselves in a shared dream where they are anything but ordinary. They awaken within the dream as Dream Fighters, each possessing astonishing abilities: Haley leaps across rooms, Braden telekinetically moves objects, Jack dashes at super speed, and Jillian conjures anything she imagines into existence. Together, they discover they are descendants of a long line of legendary warriors destined to protect the real world from sinister forces.

Under the guidance of their uncle, who is mysteriously trapped inside Jillian's doll, these young heroes learn about the centuries-old order of Dream Fighters. They must quickly master their new powers to confront Sarlak, the malevolent leader of an army of Gorgons poised to invade their world.

As they navigate challenges and learn to work as a team, these former average kids must overcome their fears and embrace their destinies. There are no save points or restarts in this game-like adventure—every action counts, and there are no second chances.

From magical trickery to sinister traps, "Discovery!" is packed with action and excitement that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. As the cousins fend off Sarlak’s evil plans, they will find out just how deep their powers run and who among them might succumb to the darkness. All the while, they will learn the importance of belief and trust.

Begin your journey with "Discovery!" and join these young heroes as they step into a world brimming with danger and wonder, setting the stage for the epic Dream Fighter Chronicles. This story is not just an introduction to their world—it's an invitation to experience the power of imagination and the beginnings of a legendary saga.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Truly a book for all ages. Kids will love it and adults will find the kid in them loves it too. What a start to a series!"

"A must read for adventure lovers. All the elements are here. And this is only the start to a vast, rich universe."

From the Author

This is the first book in the Sarlak Trilogy. It all started with an idea to write a book for my nieces and nephews and turned into, so far, a six book series. This book certainly has a beginning and ending, though the story arc completes with book three, United They Stand.

Discovery! tells of how the Dream Fighters learned of their powers, and the responsibility that comes with them. It's also a lot of fun, with a start to the adventure seen later in the series, along with a good dose of humor. It's a book for all ages, and begins the journey for this group of soon-to-be-heroes.

Of course, the series would not be complete without Sarlak's Revenge the second book in the series.

Calvin Locke is the pen name of a published mystery author, video games journalist, and college English professor. He started writing childrens books because he wanted to offer children exciting books that could keep a child's attention while enhancing reading and vocabulary skills.

The concept of writing kids books came when his mother had finished reading his four mystery novels. She said she loved them, but that his nieces and nephews couldn't read them because of the subject matter (murder investigation) He decided to write a short story for his nieces and nephews that turned into a book series which has now reached six volumes.

Calvin Locke's books include adventure and action, geared toward today's video game generation while still holding true to all the necessary elements of what makes a good children's story. His characters face difficult situations and learn how to reach inside themselves to find the solutions. The books also contain humor, something he thinks is important. We all need to learn to laugh at ourselves and the situations we face sometimes.

Perfect for children

My niece likes these types of books, she is 12 years old. As she gets older, we start having less and less to talk about. So I asked her about what was a book that I could read. She recommended this one. That way we would have something to talk about when I came there next week. Well, for a children's book it was good. My brother and her mother really do not police what she reads. Well, this was age-appropriate for children. The writing was crisp and evocative. A child good develop excellent reading and writing habits from reading something like this. I know at this age, parents are happy if the child develops a thirst for reading. Yet, it is important that you fuel that love of reading with great books. This one would qualify. Now, I am more use to reading grown-up books, but my niece was thrilled with this book.

The story, the plot and the pacing all made this an effortless read. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has children.

A great story and series start for young readers

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2013

This is a young readers novel perfect for summer reading by kids in late elementary school or even early jr. high school. The cousins must use their powers in a creative way to overcome the evil Sarlak by taking back control of the mind of a Lord on an alien world who was once beneficent but whose mind is under the control of Sarlak.

Creative problem solving is the theme in this book because the kids best chance at success is to fight indirectly instead of head on. So its a great read for a young mind. I can't say there is much to recommend it to adults. While the characters of the cousins are all very well drawn they over narrative is a little too simple for adults. That just means it's a great read for kids or to read to kids. Not every novel needs to ride on roads leading to every type of reader at the same time.

Simple and plain ...has no descriptive texture. Action oriented without character embellishment...magical thinking without any logic. 12 year old level

Amateurish effort. I wouldn't let my kids read this, not that they'd even want to even if forced to start reading it. No wonder it hasn't gotten any traction in six years since release. Really, stop coddling indie authors and their fragile egos, and get them to hire good editors.
