The Forgotten Past Heather Hayashi Synergy Books ISBN: 1-933538-77-5 Fiction, Young Adult, Science Fiction Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

The different factions of Arhka had been fighting for centuries. Power and greed. Who rules whom. That sort of thing. Then, the aliens attacked. The four races of Arhka either had to come together or be destroyed.

A parallel situation is being played out in with a group of individuals from our planet. Stephanie, her friend Eris, and Stephanie’s Mom are drawn into the problems at Arhka. Derrick, Stephanie’s brother, has been living with his father so he has no idea that his Mother and sister are missing until the same aliens attack Earth. These aliens abduct Derrick and Eri’s brother Jason. Hope for Arhka lies in the hands of the abducted Earthlings, the beings of Arhka, and an ancient force called the Oracle. 

The Forgotten Past is an adventure filled novel with lots of conflict (emotional and physical). This is the second book of The Arhka Chronicles. I haven’t read the first book in the series and was still able to enjoy the story without much confusion. Nonetheless, I am sure that if I had read the first book, I would have had a better grasp on the politics of the Arhka races and more background on the characters.
