Carrie Anne’s World: An Odyssey through Space and Time

Mike O'Keefe arrives on the paradise island of Koh Tao only to be caught up in a terrorist attack by a radical environmental group. In a recurring dream, he encounters a mysterious young girl on a beach who cannot remember her past. She writes a message in the sand, 6 = 3, and begs him to help her find the "Saelak". Dismissing the experience as the product of a fevered imagination, he settles into life on the island. But when the environmental threat ramps up and elements from his dreams begin bleeding into the real world, Mike is propelled on a journey across time and space that must end in the destruction or salvation of Humanity.
