Hepcat, General George Armstrong Custer, and his own demons in the form of the Ghost Dance of Johnny Tango.

Reviews:

"...TERRA HEXA evolves into a brilliant adventure novel which entertains those who have become blasè. One almost thinks of Jules Verne..." - Robert Andersson, in Swedish magazine Mitrania (www.mitrania.se)

"The book's protagonists, the sisters Henna and Gala, Uncle Ingo and the brothers Mick and Rydel, have names which sound un-Swedish, and one senses that the author wants to reach an international market. It would not surprise me if he succeeds... It is thoroughly thrilling, without being too scary for sensitive young readers." - Lena Kjersén Edman, for Bibliotekstjänst (The Swedish Library Service, www.btj.se)

"The story is good and everything hangs together in a skillful way...a thrilling and good fantasy tale." - Hilda Ekstedt (13 years old), in the Swedish magazine ICA-KURIREN (www.icakuriren.se)
