b'This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Gama Ray Martinez, author of GOD OF NEVERLAND.
\\nAbout GOD OF NEVERLAND: Peter Pan is missing; Neverland is in trouble. For adults, that might not matter all that much, but for children\\u2014whose dreams and imagination draw strength from the wild god\\u2019s power\\u2014the magic we take for granted in the real world is in danger of being lost forever.
\\nSuch is the life of a now grown-up Michael Darling.
\\nMichael returned from Neverland with the dream of continuing his adventuring ways by joining the Knights of the Round, an organization built to keep humanity safe from magical and mythological threats.. But after a mission gone terribly wrong, he vowed to leave the Knights behind and finally live as a \\u201ccivilian,\\u201d finding order and simplicity as a train engineer, the tracks and schedule tables a far cry from the chaos of his youth.
\\nHe hasn\\u2019t entered the narrative in years. So what could the Knights need from him now?
\\nMaponos\\u2014or how he\\u2019s better known, Peter Pan\\u2014has gone missing, and Neverland is now on the edge of oblivion. Michael realizes he has no choice and agrees to one last mission. Alongside the young Knight Vanessa and some old friends, Michael embarks on the ultimate adventure: a journey to a fantasy world to save a god. Determined to stop evil, fight for Neverland, and find Maponos, will Michael be able to save the magical and physical world? Or will his biggest fear come true?
\\nThe clock is ticking, and in Neverland, that\\u2019s never a good sign.
\\nAbout Gama Ray Martinez: Gama is a runner, writer, and adventurer. He has run races on three continents, including a half marathon on the Great Wall of China. He’s scuba dived at the Great Barrier Reef, an underwater museum, and an abandoned lead mine. He swims with sharks at least once a month and enjoys hiking in the winter. If you\\u2019ve never seen a frozen waterfall, you\\u2019re missing out. He also loves to collect weapons in case he ever needs to supply a medieval battalion.
