Quote:“…it was tough to look away. What’s really interesting about this book is how multi-layered it is. At its base, this is a book about a boy who is in search of his mother. However it’s so much more than that. Zahn’s story manages to pull from the world around us, while also incorporating elements of mythology and hero epics. This is a coming of age story of the highest caliber.”

Quote:“I was immediately drawn in by the vivid descriptions…The author has a knack for fully immersing a reader into the hero’s plight, and I felt like I was hurtling through corridors of light alongside Zahn.”

Quote:Nestled within the Island lies a deep mystery…

When Asha and Zahn return to the sapphire forests of Avani after a harrowing battle with the star-consuming Vakragha, they reflect and prepare, knowing their chthonic enemy will return. Yet to their surprise, a Confederation pilot lands with a new mission: to recover The Kiss of Life, an ancient artifact capable of reviving the dead.

Through their quest, Asha crashes on an unknown world, discovering a mysterious island that comes to life with villagers and roaring bonfires every night, only to find that any trace of them vanishes each morning. Now facing each day alone, Asha is pushed to rely on her courage and intuition to survive, soon discovering that she's not the only one searching desperately for the artifact...

Quote:What Top Reviewers Say…

“I really enjoyed this book and was impressed by its Miyazaki-level imaginative flair. The vivid way Crusoe painted the landscapes and inhabitants of the Island of Forever stuck with me. Further, he interweaves just the right amount of spiritual levity and philosophy throughout, in a way that serves the plot rather than vice versa.” -- Tom Minderle, Author of 'Fringe Knowledge for Beginners'

“In today’s vast sea of self-publishing, discovering this much intelligence, original thought, and imagination is a rare treat…I'm already impatient for the third book!” -- Flavia Westermann, Amazon Reviewer

“The author's prose is smooth and rhythmic…with layers of meaning and complexity for those who care to look.” -- Michael Coorlim (Galvanic Century series author)

“It's not often that I treat myself to fiction books, but reading ‘The Island on the Edge of Forever’ was so exciting that I didn't want to put it down. The journey Crusoe takes us on is imaginative, bringing new worlds to life before my eyes…I can't wait to continue.” -- Billy Horn, Amazon Reviewer

“I have almost 1,500 SciFi books on my Kindle…This one sticks out from the rest…It was an exciting read that left me wanting more.” -- BookWormy1, Amazon Reviewer

“If you want to take a fast trip through the galaxy to an enchanted island somewhere far away, this book is for you. This book has it all!” -- Lamar Renville, Amazon Reviewer


Written on the Big Island of Hawaii, this story has a heart-centered approach (metaphorically & literally), and is influenced by my time practicing Anapana breathing meditation while on the island, a technique that stretches back millennia. This book is also influenced by the Ra Material (aka. The Law of One), woven from truths that transcend space and time, applying anywhere, in any era. Thus, many describe it as “Transcendental Science Fiction.”
