Hamish McKenzie stood welded to the spot as fifty million volts coursed through his body. He was dead before he hit the ground. Dealanch was never wrong. Lightning stalks the first-born of three generations of the McKenzie clan from Scotland to Ottawa to Saskatchewan as each successive son looks over their shoulder knowing it was not a question of if, but when the paranormal would strike. Running from the inevitable - the McKenzie clan leaves Scotland for Canada, but can they outrun lightning?Astraphobia stalks three generations trying to escape the first-born curse. Editorial Review S. Peters Davis This book captured my attention at the Prologue - a historical incident happened in Nairn, Scotland, in 1889. The story takes off from there into the early 1900s to the 1970s, introducing generations of the McKenzie family and showing the details of the areas where they move to in Canada. Lightning strikes become a major reality, weaving through the years of this story. The characters were so pronounced in the life and times of this book that I felt like I stood right beside them, seeing, hearing, and feeling everything with stirring emotions. Impressive, and worth the read.
