Finally, there's a
hero
to
believe
in. The
legend
of
Santa Claus
, when first conceived, told of a kind, generous physician named
Nicholas
. Long before he was thought of as a
giver of gifts
, he was known to be a
fierce defender
of exploited and enslaved children. With that age-old premise in mind, this story creates an idealistic
warrior
for our time; an
immortal man
trained by his mentor Ooby to be an expert
martial artist
and relentless
freedom fighter
for children everywhere. Far from the chubby, cherry-cheeked character of recent tradition, Nicholas is a determined
protector
of the innocent.
The essential elements of the Santa Claus legend persist in this retelling. There are
elf
-like beings called
Saints
, a
sleigh
and
eight reindeer
, Santa's
supernatural abilities
, a polar city, and a strong connection to the
Christmas holiday
. All are recreated in ways that complement Santa's purpose of defending children.
Santa Claus Rebooted & Revamped
is
collection of two books. It offers two separate, but equally thrilling adventures that tell one grand story of Nicholas's history from Medieval times to the present day.
In the first book,
Santa Claus Rebooted,
Nicholas and Ooby must combat a trio of London street criminals who seize control of the world's gold and threaten to cast the globe into a new form of economic bondage. Because it's Christmas Eve, the
dynamic duo
must defeat the deviants and finish delivering every last
present
before the entire holiday is lost.
In the second book,
Santa Claus Revamped
,
Nicholas and Ooby confront a
Thanksgiving
Day
plot to upend a bygone truce between the peaceful
and the humans. The dastardly scheme leaves Nicholas severely wounded and under the care of an old friend. Ooby must travel to
Romania
alone to seek the aid of a
secret society
of ancient beings. Though they are strong, Ooby's team is no match for the
wicked army
that is assembled against them. Only Nicholas can save Ooby and his friends, but to recuperate in time, he will need help from the most
magical
powerful
force
in the world...
true love
