New SF novel in Hebrew - Anshey Hamaagal: Second Chance A new Hebrew-language original science fiction/fantasy novel Anshey Hamaagal: Second Chance has just been published by Steimatzky in Israel and will be on the shelves starting November 11th. The 256-page book by the 21-year-old writer Nathaniel Botwinik is oriented towards young adults and older readers. >From the back cover: David Green did not understand why this happens to him. Once a year, on his birthday, he becomes invisible. Another stage in his none too stable life. He never met his father, and every once in a while has to abandon his home at short notice. His mother, like all mothers, does her best to protect him. But from whom? When David decides to go and seek out the root of his power, a cross-continent odyssey begins and he finds himself at the center of a power struggle between three groups of people with extraordinary powers, each with its own secret agenda, trying to snatch his powers for themselves – the "anshey hamaagal" [people of the circle]. We follow our hero's story as he attempts to unravel the secret of his identity and why he became gifted with this special power. Although David may not know who his father is, he learns that there is nothing to equal the power of a mother's love.
"Second Chance" is the first in the series "Anshey Hamaagal".
