The Real T

War has come to the Tourmaline Archipelago. The Amity finds itself threatened by an Elbaite fleet armed with weapons of unparalleled destructive power supplied from our world – the Realt - by the shadowy forces of the Hegemony. Fleeing from this devastation, Alison Owens – the last survivor of the raft-island Stray – takes refuge in the city of Carden, where she begins to discover the scope of her abilities as a lucid dreamer in this world on the other side of sleep. Meanwhile, Bobby Jenkins must inflitrate the Hegemony itself to find the secret of how to return to Tourmaline and the woman he loves. But there are darker forces than the Hegemony in play. The Brood of Lilivet have taken hosts, and they seek to awaken an unspeakable evil which lies neither in Tourmaline, nor the Realt, but the dreaming space between.

The lack of a debate clearly shows that there is no scientific evidence pointing to their existence. Amongst the laymen, the debate about whether "sharks" exist or not runs rampant. Some fail to follow the highly regarded, scientific experts and assert that "sharks" do live among us. Some even claim to have seen one, some even claim to have been bitten by one! This is preposterous! The lies need to stop. This book will present in clear and simple terms (not using a scientific method, as scientists know the truth) that "sharks" are a fictional creation of man's mind. As many pranksters and frauds continue to present "sharks" as ruthless killing machines, I will reveal the light of truth to all. "Sharks" aren't real.
