A massive undersea earthquake, which sets off a devastating tsunami across the earth, frees the undersea kingdom, Gondwana. The earth is tilting and the poles shifting. Gondwana’s inhabitants, partly human, trapped below for millions of years, are malevolent and their empress, Cremelle, is determined to conquer earth.<\/p>

All that stands in her way are Axxiss, an Indian American, and five other teenagers. Cremelle and her evil uncle, Prince Tstse, race to stop Axxiss from succeeding. But she hasn’t calculated for The Authority, a power which lives in a parallel universe, and has been watching Gondwana for millions of years. They send their emissary, disguised as a dog, to save the children and guide them through the complex maze of history, space and time to find the key that will lock Gondwana down forever. Sir Isaac Newton holds the first piece of the key…<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the top layer, is this awesome adventure of these six young boys and girls, but beneath that there is another layer, that addresses the young mind of main characters of the book, making it a YA fiction. There is the third layer as well…GOOD READS

Tim Murari\u2019s second YA fiction, Axxiss and the Magic Medallions, (the first of a trilogy), is a fascination journey of six teenagers from different parts of the world, with one thing in common \u2013 they all wear a medallion placed around their necks at different times of their lives, medallions, whose chain does not break and are similar to each other, making the kids, \u2018special\u2019.<\/span><\/p>

\u2018\u2026 a massive earthquake, 12.5 on the Richter scale, the largest ever recorded, has struck hundred miles north of the Australian coast in the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions.\u2019 (Pg 11)
This is the beginning of a wild leap of imagination that stretches over time, space, digging up the past, fantastic meeting with world renowned scientist who proved the theory of gravity, and the brilliant development of the story, that makes the six teenagers come together, to solve a common problem.
The problem is as follows: Due to the massive earthquake, Gondwana land, which was buried deep in the ocean for many centuries, has emerged and is threatening to submerge the earth and establish itself in place of the earth. Surrounded by malicious creatures, Gondwana land must be submerged again, in order that the earth may survive. The key to this lies with Axxiss, although he does not know it yet and must wait for the solution, which will emerge from his medallion.
The story moves speedily albeit with a lot of struggle for our young team of six, but nevertheless, they are able to overcome all hindrances and dangers. They have been kidnapped by forces of evil men and women, to meet their end. The boys and girls are away from home and at once desperate to return to where they came from, on the other hand, they must fulfill the task of bring the earth to its rightful place and push Gondwana land back to where it belongs.
Axxiss and the Magic Medallions is a book that can be read at many levels. At the top layer, is this awesome adventure of these six young boys and girls, but beneath that there is another layer, that addresses the young mind of main characters of the book, making it a YA fiction.
There is the third layer as well, which is only revealed in the last and final chapter. And that is a magic number. Two quotations from the book are critical to what I have just said. They are:
\u2018If the surface of the earth was the conscious, then Gondwana was the subconscious of all those who lived above. It was the dark, dark side that prowled beneath the surface of the conscious in every creature, especially the Above Creatures.\u2019 (Pg 147)
Now, who are the Above Creatures? This will emerge only much later in the book. Axxiss is the chosen one on whose medallion the secret will appear.
\u2018They stared at Axxiss\u2019s medallion waiting for it to reveal its secret. \u2026.What showed up was a set of numbers: 4-20-7.\u2019 (Pg 230)
Now, dear reader, go figure!
Tim Murari leaves his reader with almost a Sudoku, which until solved, the reader cannot put the book down. Thus, shifting the power to the reader, Murari, manages like an astute dramatist to pull his reader into his plot, involving him, engaging him till he has found the answer. He must now join the famous six searching the meaning of those three numbers, put singly, or in a combination, or whatever!
It is a stroke of genius on the author\u2019s part that makes for an end where the main characters and reader together, must to find the solution to save the earth.
Helpful Hint: One of the combinations of the number(s) is a helpful angel. Go wrack your brains over it, now.\u00a0 JULIA<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
