A multiple-dimensioned reality adventure that spans the cosmos and subatomic realm. Coincidence. Dreams. UFOs. Visitors. Love. Fiction? ... Reality? or do the two intertwine?
A science fiction writer's invented space character seemingly becomes real when the isolated man faces a very similar real woman with amnesia. At a fan convention, in his hotel bathroom, as thunder and lighting rages outside, Mendle Orion finds a soulful young woman with intense blue eyes and total amnesia. The earnest, open-faced young woman is disoriented, and innocently responds to people, speech, and things around her as if she were seeing the world for the first time. It's love at first sight for Mendle, who is convinced there�s an uncanny resemblance between the mysterious girl and the heroine of his latest book. He names her AIRA FLIGHT, after the light being multidimensional galaxy girl in his latest book, and protectively takes the girl in.
Each day, with the innocence of a newborn, Aira discovers the urban life around her: crime, war, poverty, love, nature, music, food, laws, fashion, and video games. Her naivet�, compassion and honesty are extraordinary, but most shocking is the discovery that she has no navel.
As Mendle falls more in love with the stranger every day, he also notices that the book he has been writing start to unfold as coincident realities in his life. He struggles to sort out his fiction from reality.
When the young woman begins to recover her memory, it is eerily what Mendle has been writing. Then, she begins showing signs of superhuman physical abilities and genius intelligence. The girl's real identity is eventually revealed, however, the investigations lead to unexpected discoveries that are just the beginning to a truth that reaches beyond the stars.Book one in the adventures of Aira Flight.
