Gary Chong hasn't added a story.
Sage Hawkins is an everyday Jamaican teenager from Buffalo, NY, growing up in a crime-ridden neighborhood with his mother, Gloria Hawkins. After a traumatizing gun robbery, Sage seeks to learn martial arts when he comes across Flora Miami, who teaches him the mystical discipline of Pantokrator Fist . The teenage problems Sage was having were nothing compared to what was about to come next. He discovers a planetary distress signal from his long-lost father, Dennis Hawkins, who was believed to be gone forever. Could Sage find his father and bring him back home to planet Earth? Would his newfound pal Jokar be the ally that Sage needs? Or will this trip end up in a universe these teenage boys aren't prepared for? Let's face the gods with our first of four books, "Sirius."
