The Dark Secret of Ian's Peak: Book One
To investigate Cave Death was the aim of James (age ten) and Josh in The Experiment. A discovery was made; they found an old scientific experiment from 1892 belonging to Professor Lynx. Upon starting the experiment, James received an electric shock, which gave him the power of Dream Reality. His dreams have included precognitive and retroactive visions. The accidental find turned out to be an experiment that enabled James to control his dream reality. A high school fire, Paul's (Josh's younger brother) abduction, and his parents' past were all part of the dreams. Is there a connection? Only time will tell.
The Basement's beginning involved a man disappearing mysteriously from a hospital elevator in James's recent dream. James and his friends are racing against time to save a victim who is about to vanish. Soon, in the little town of Ian's Peak, James, who has Dream Reality powers, will uncover the truth. Yvonne, a hospital nurse, is the key to solving this mystery. According to James's dream, Ian's Peak settlement started in 1860. James suffered a major setback when he learned his friends had been abducted and sent back in time to 1860. Professor Lynx's journal revealed to James that a basement wormhole could transport him to the 19th century. He also discovered a beast inhabiting the basement. James understands precisely what needs to be done. To save the future, he must go to the basement, locate the wormhole, travel to 1860, rescue his friends, and eliminate Nurse Yvonne, the beast, and the basement itself.
