Light Guardian–Book 2 in the exciting Light Runner series. Coming November 2020!
After an alien meteorite’s healing metal is implanted in her wrist, sixteen year-old Dara sets out to reclaim the powerful Lightband—and stop a deadly super-virus before it explodes around the globe.
Determined to find and take back her mother’s stolen birthright, Dara discovers the stunning secrets of her own family’s buried past and the extraordinary DNA code that flows in her veins. Forced to confront the release of a deadly pandemic, Dara learns the true meanings of love and sacrifice.
Philip Brown, author of Light Guardian, says, “The Light Runner series is essentially the story of a teenage girl, Dara, who can’t get over the sudden death of her mom. Dara’s able to wield this magical healing element, but the only thing she can’t seem to heal is her own heart. Yet Dara’s loss is the thing that really activates the healing device she finds in Book One. So in a way her superpower is heartbreak.”

Light Runner–Sixteen-year-old Dara Adengard would rather read graphic novels than do her homework and prefers the freedom of skateboarding to the restrictions of life with her military father. Stung by the recent death of her mother, Dara conceals her mom’s picture under a square of grip tape on her skateboard. But no matter how much Dara tries to keep a foothold on the past, she can’t ride away from her own destiny.
One evening, she discovers a silver and gold armlet with mysterious powers in the shadowy water of the swimming pool. Forged from an ancient meteorite metal, it possesses the power to heal or wound. When Dara holds it, it emits a light that seems to have been ignited by a star’s ray. Moments later, she is stunned to find that someone’s broken into her apartment, her father has vanished, and a dead body lies sprawled in the courtyard.
Evading the police, Dara escapes on a perilous quest for her father, begins to uncover her mother’s hidden past–and starts to realize the shocking truth about herself. 
Cosmic Trends–What does astrology have to do with Apple computers, Harry Potter,
Bob Dylan, and American Idol? According to Philip Brown, trends in technology, film, books, TV, music, and fashion are all influenced by planetary movement. Cosmic Trends discusses the startling impact Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus have had-and continue to have-on our evolving culture.
Tracing the outer planets as they travel through the zodiac signs, Brown uncovers amazing cosmic patterns and their link to the sexual revolution, the rise in health awareness, Internet addiction, wireless technology, advertising saturation, and other cultural trends. He offers exercises that help readers develop “intuitive awareness” in drawing their own connections between the planets and world events. Profiles of William Shakespeare, Clara Barton, Martha Graham, Nelson Mandela and others illustrate how planetary forces have touched their lives and their generations. Fascinating forecasts and a glimpse of what to expect in 2020 are also included.
