   Additional Information  
 
  Damon Gray, a gifted young concert pianist with tremendous gifts and abilities, at the age of fourteen, loses his parents to a terrorist bomber. He dies when they do. He is brought back to life by paramedics. He awakens to find that he has lost not only his parents, but all of his psychic abilities as well. He becomes colorblind. He is crippled in a way that most people couldn’t understand. He retreats from life. His grandparents help him as best they can. He starts touring again. His fans welcome him back, but the magic in his music is gone for him. He allows no photographs to be taken of him. He is called the Gray Ghost by a photographer that had tried in vain to take a photo of him. Fourteen years later, Damon loses his grandparents in a plane crash. He retreats further. Damon feels that there is a conspiracy to kill off his whole family. He is now the last of his line. In his mid thirties, he sees a television newscast about a terrorist bombing. Something happens inside of him that gives him back all of his psychic abilities and more. He knows who planted the bomb, and where the terrorist bomber is at every moment. Payback time! And this is just the beginning! Walk through this world (and others) with Damon and see it through his eyes. A journey of discovery, of friendship and of choices. I don’t want to spoil the story. So, get your popcorn and drink, sit back or lay down, buckle up and enjoy the journey.
