John Lewis Meets the Nanobots

In Book 5, events take a most unexpected turn. The standing stones take them 1000 years into the future and a world that is a bit weird. For a start, there are no sounds or smells and the first buildings are models of the past. John and Sybil meet a cousin named Serena who has a computer inside her. They take Serena back to 1948 where she buys fruit trees and seeds. Back to the future and Sybil uses her basic computer knowledge to identify a plot by a rogue warlock to take over this modern world. Now John's reflexes and magic combine to defeat the rogue warlock and his guards.

But all is not well, as a program starts up that paralyses the whole world and the two cousins have to use science to help Serena go to the Computer Centre and disable the program.

Sybil faces a tough test as the present leader of the witch's coven wants her to act the role of a queen so that plans can be made for the future.

John and Sybil sit with the clever Twins, Serena and Hillary Shipton to discuss why they have been sent on all their adventures and they all agree that John has to go back to being the original Chosen One who visited Iteria 400 years before Alicia Maru was a princess.

John and Sybil agree to change things in the past to help their cousins of the future, so John leaves a "message in a bottle" as a surprise.
