Young Outcast Inherits Ancient Destiny in 'Johnny Outlander'

In P.G. Roeder's sci-fi adventure novel "Johnny Outlander" (published by Archway Publishing), a young man who has always been different from others embarks on a journey of self-discovery.

For more than a thousand years, in Wales and environs, those who were strangers or without land have been known as "outlanders." Johnny Outlander has kept a deep secret from his early childhood, and now at 17 he has inherited a destiny far older than the redwood forests that surround him.

"The story of Johnny Outlander speaks to intolerance, science, our raging environment, expanding knowledge and the interdependency of life," Roeder explains. "It references the increasing chaos in the world and an individual's ability to step forward and realize they are not alone."

The novel explores a number of themes, including man's connection to nature, intuitive communication and the origin of humankind. Roeder hopes the book will encourage readers to approach the world with an open mind.
