Ultimate Justice

Want to be free of the constraints that family life and social expectations impose upon you? Free to think, to dream, to expand your horizons – even beyond those you can imagine? Have you ever fancied exploring strange and unfamiliar worlds, meeting and getting to know new, exciting beings?

When you see what bombs can do to children, would you blow up an arms factory? Would you go after someone who had robbed an old person, or risk your life to save a child? Could you be the one to bring hope and justice into a dark universe where people had given up on ever enjoying the light, or being free?

In Ultimate Justice, the second in the ‘White Gates Adventure’ series, rejoin Jack and Jalli, Momori and Matilda from Trevor Stubbs’ first novel The Kicking Tree. Meet their children growing up on Planet Joh as they once again travel the universe to previously undiscovered worlds through the white gates the Creator provides for them. Each adventure is a task to bring some kind of hope to people they have never met – as well as some they already have.

Anyone from the age of 14 will be able to relate to one or more of the characters in Ultimate Justice. Perhaps you take after Jalli, now a mother of teenage children, or Kakko her impatient daughter. Maybe you see yourself in Shaun, keen to get into the first team, or studious Bandi who, at the age of fourteen, meets Plato and the philosophers for the first time. Some will identify with the older generation, while others know what it is to be disabled like Jack. Young or old, quick or thoughtful, adventurous or down-to-earth: each has their own role to play in the Creator’s universe. In Ultimate Justice there is adventure, action, relationship, and exploration – outwards to the stars, but also inwards, to what makes us who we really are and what we can become...
