Beyond The Invisible: Flying from Fear to Freedom by Greg Hamerton

by Greg Hamerton

A flying story about leaving the world behind, being in the wilderness, being free. Poetic, lyrical; a novel for free spirits. Beyond The Invisible is about the freedom of flight and how it can change the world we see. It follows a quest for perfection amongst the eagles, high above the South African wilderness. It is a mystical tale told from the wing, a story about setting fear aside in the search for self-mastery.

About the author

I'm an outdoor enthusiast and have been an active paraglider pilot since 1992. I find it essential to get away from the office on the weekends, and you can't get much farther away than high above the ground, looking down at the mountain peak beneath your toes.

My primary school was artistic. We made up stories. We painted things. We acted out Norse Mythology. It was great, and it's probably the reason I'm a writer. I graduated from the University of Cape Town in 1994 (Bachelor of Commerce) but was bored to death by my first accounting job. I worked in the film industry, as a paragliding instructor, and as a photographer. I began writing, and found that I loved it.

I am a dedicated reader of fantasy, and respect the works of Charles de Lint, Stephen Donaldson, Robin Hobb, Robert Jordan and Terry Pratchett.
