The Seer Reviews

  Millicent Prendergild, Cybrarian

  Scott Childers appears to be a normal 14 year old, trying with all his might to fit in. Problem is, Scott has a secret he desperately wants to hide…and it’s a whopper. He is actually an alien from another planet with the power to travel through time, to plant thoughts into someone’s mind, and to see things before they actually happen. Scott is a Seer.
  
  The Seer, by G. Clifton Wisler, is an action packed adventure that follows a lonely teen, forced into the life of a wanderer, never quite belonging anywhere, or able to stay in a place too long, for fear of his secret being discovered leading to his capture as a possible dangerous alien. He is accompanied in this lonely life by a strange little man, Tiaf, his teacher and companion from his home planet. Although Scott is an Antrian by birth, Earth is the only home he has ever known. Tiaf spent his life among other telepaths and seers and had been taught all the mysteries before their home planet became the victim of a super-nova. They are the last of the ancient race that sped through space looking for a new planet to call home.
  
  Scott had always thought of his ability to see into the near future as a curse but came to realize his special talent was a gift. He could not understand why he would have these visions if he wasn’t meant to help those around him – even though this interference would threaten to expose his secret. This gift came with a lot of responsibility. It was a lonely life, always being on guard to keep his secret hidden meant moving…a lot.
  
  This fast paced tale is filled with adventure and suspense that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen next.

  Mr. Wisler was primarily a western author, but he tried his hand at kids' science fiction once, and I appreciated his effort in these books. In the previous book,
  The Antrian Messenger, Scott had been forced to leave his family in a very final way so he could go where he's needed, but he just craves belonging. Once he ends up at a new school with new friends, passing as human instead of the alien he is, he thinks he might be able to relax, but the more he learns about his purpose, the more difficult it is to form attachments. When Scott has to use his healing and precognitive abilities to rescue people who are injured in a disaster, he may have to save the day only to move on once again. Read the prequel first.

  In the previous book, The Antrian Messenger, Scott found out he was an alien, and his guardian Tiaf is the only person he can confide in. He feels alone and scared as he searches for a new place to put down roots for a while--knowing he'll never fit in or stay for long--and he finds a surprisingly happy home at a new school, playing baseball and enjoying friendships with others. He sometimes has peculiar experiences, but he tries his best to help without revealing the true nature of his alien gifts. Under Tiaf's tutelage, he learns more about healing, wisdom, and precognition, but sometimes he just wants to be a kid. When his friends are in an accident, Scott will find himself once again being forced to save the day and then exit stage right, with a long road ahead of him, no end in sight.
