Recollection is a longer short story based on the main character of the Aegis series.
Suppressed memories have the power to forever alter the course of one's life.
After a disappointing game on the playing fields of the Greenwood Orphanage, Graham settles down in the library with a book which sparks a memory of parents long forgotten and the supernatural events that may have separated them. Join Graham as a young boy as he experiences his first encounter with the power he has yet to discover and the nightmare that starts it all.
Recollection is the first of many character short stories that give rich insight into the past lives of the Aegis characters, the lives that have shaped them into who they are today.
During the day, Nathan works at Samaritan's Purse - Operation Christmas Child, where he enjoys being a part of worldwide children's evangelism. At night, however, he is an aspiring novelist, writing action/adventure, modern fantasy novels.

This short story was a very quick read but a very good read too. Having read Aegis: Catalyst Grove (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) earlier this year I was keen to get stuck into this short story about the main character Graham.
This short story returns to Graham's childhood, to the time when he first met his best friend Damien and also to when his early memories, nightmares and strange powers first seem to really exhibit themselves. It was interesting to see a little more into who Graham is but left me wanting more! (No doubt the author's evil intention! ;) )
Recollection begins with a tense, attention-grabbing scene and it held me captive to the very end. I definitely want to read the Aegis series this is part of and I highly recommend it for any age!
