A long long time ago when the universe was arranged three Grand
Masters were appointed to oversee and act if the overall balance
was not maintained. If necessary they can step in to sort problems.
As a back up to the system The Keeper was also created. He holds
the balance or rather he can restore the balance should it ever be
required. The role as The Keeper passes down through the
generations and although they are each aware they are something
important they do not know what it is. The Keeper is protected by
The Watcher who is a humanoid. The planet where The Keeper lives
unexpectedly has serious unrest so The Watcher decides to move The
Keeper and his parents to another planet (Earth) in the universe.
On their journey they go through a time jump (unbeknown to them at
the time). The Watcher knows it will only be a matter of time
before they are found but it is all he can do. One of the current
Grand Masters notices the unrest and leaves the other two Grand
Masters at their base. Their system is set up so that there must
always be two Grand Masters present at their base at all times. The
remaining two suspect that the third Grand Master is up to
something so they seek guidance. They are told that they should
leave things as this was the sort of circumstance The Keeper was
created for and it will be a good test. Their hands are tied so all
they can do is keep a watching brief. The third Grand Master
arrives on the planet Velchitta where the unrest has been only to
find The Keeper has gone. The new leader Algreb is also keen to
follow them and bring them back under his control. He and The Grand
Master team up to follow The Watcher and The Keeper. This group too
in their turn are followed by a small band of family and friends to
do what they can to stop The Keeper from being found. The book
introduces all the main characters and slots them into their places
and sides in this book, the first of a trilogy. Some of the
characters will not fully develop yet but they have been introduced
in The Keeper. This is the first book of a trilogy: The Keeper, The
Grand Master & The Watcher.

John Staven is forced into taking some time off work. He attends an
auction and though not winning his two prized lots he bids and wins
three boxes of odds and ends from a house clearance. Sorting the
boxes he finds an old book. Inside the cover is an inscription but
not in English. Interest triggered, he flicks through the book only
to find a section in the middle is hand-written. He spends some
time on the internet trying to find out the language it is written
in. He discovers it is in the Cornish Language. The writing is the
diary of Kenan Ennor Lanyon. Kenan is a 17 year old man, who with 7
other Cornishmen, is leaving Cornwall to go to America in 1835.
John gets gripped with Kenan's diary and spends the next few days
translating it. The diary tells of their ocean crossing to America
in an old 30 foot Cornish Lugger they have patched up for the
journey. It tells of the settlement where the men decide to live
and the start of their life there. At this point the diary stops.
John investigates a little more the Cornish link of the diary. He
contacts the family and shows the Granddaughter, Jen, his
translation. They are confronted by Carl, a distant relative of one
of the others mentioned in the diary. John and Jen find this
worrying and interesting. As a result John and Jen fly to America
to try to see what they can uncover. They stay at a small boarding
house and with help from a couple of locals start to dig into the
history surrounding Kenan's diary. They discover on a 50 year old
map a name which requires more research and a visit to the land
agent opens up a whole new side to the diary. John and Jen follow
through this line of research which takes them all the way to
Boston before they discover more of what happened to Kenan. The
possibility of their being another part of the diary increases
interest too. John and Jen's arrival in McKenzie and Boston signals
a change in something for the first time since Kenan's death.
