Ra-Kit's Initiation (A Prequel)
How does an orphan kitten grow up to be the last living magic cat?
A prequel to the Zak Bates Eco-Adventure series
Ra-Kit claims to be the last living magic cat. But where did Ra-Kit's magic come from? Is she really five hundred years old or is that just part of the mythology she's woven for herself? What did Ra-Kit have to do to be initiated into the secret clan of magic cats?
Dominion Over All
When the last living magic cat and her flying canine companion show up on your doorstep, you don't expect things to get any stranger!
Despite running his own zoo, Zak Bates considers himself pretty normal for a thirteen-year-old. Visited by Ra-Kit, a scruffy feline with some serious catnip issues, he's ill-prepared for the life-or-death assignment that follows. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Zak must represent the Animal Kingdom at a United Nations Conference on Global Warming, convince the world government to stop poisoning the planet, broker interspecies peace, and diffuse an impending, bloody rebellion—just a bit harder than algebra!
Endangered
Protecting the planet: a thankless job and one that has no breaks!
For Zak Bates and his magical friends, the next eco-adventures is usually right around the corner. In Zanesville, Ohio, a dangerous menagerie has escaped from a private preserve, and the situation threatens to spiral out of control. Francis, a spirit bear from British Columbia is being held captive, and, to free him, the Eco-Adventurers will need to align with Chatters, a white (knight) squirrel.
Ghost Elephant
In plundering the planet's treasures, men may gather riches, but more profound wealth is lost...
Nia Gaines is the newest member of Zak Bate's Eco-Adventure task force—it's only, she doesn't know it yet. When Nia's parents drag her along on a business trip to China, the source of their affluence soon becomes clear: ivory, prized since ancient times for its beauty and never before so rare. In Beijing's back-alley curio shops, the prices are great...but what's the cost? The answer will change Nia's world.
Along with the Eco-team, her journey will shed light on the darkest facets of humankind...but, even poachers have families to feed, and no solution is simple. What can be done to promise peace for man and those at his mercy?
Junkyard Dogs
Ready for a doggone great adventure?
EmBARK today!
As the head of an eco-team that's been tasked to overcome global warming and protect endangered species, Zak Bates is as busy as ever. Despite much help from a truly stellar multi-species coterie, his life, in a word, is wild, and it seems that things are about to get hairier.
When the eco-team receives word from the Council of Animals of the Spiritual Frontier about a curious disturbance amongst New York's animal population, it soon becomes clear that something truly sinister is afoot—or apaw—and, worse, the plague is prodigious.
BONUS: Ra-Kit Takes on a Sidekick. Inspired by real events.

Reviews:
I have just finished this book, full of suspense and difficult to put down!
Brad Swift's Dominion Over All is a delight. Both youth and adult readers can relate to young Zak's rite of passage into an adventurer's life.
Young Boy and his dog, a Magic Cat, a Flying Dog, and a poisoned world, what more can you ask for. This was a delight to read, kept me turning the pages, and waiting to see how it all would come together. My 8yr old, 13yr old, and even 15yr old, enjoyed the story.
This is a wonderful story of adventure as Zak, with the help of his new friends, finds the strength within himself to do what he never thought possible.

Over de auteur
W. Bradford Swift is a veterinarian turned visionary fiction and nonfiction author. Swift became an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction as an eleven-year-old boy when his next-door neighbor, a children's librarian, took pity on his single-parent mom. Bored out of his gourd with no one to play with but good 'ol mom, Swift drove her crazy until Mrs. Crabtree brought home a stack of books she knew would hook a young boy and give his mother some relief. It worked. He’s been hooked ever since.
It was out of that experience that some 50+ years later, he decided to pay it forward by inspiring other young people to become joyful lifelong readers with his children and young adult books and his monthly Zak Bates Eco-adventure Readups offered online via Zoom (www.wbradfordswift.com/
As a children and YA author, Swift has written the Zak Bates Eco-Adventure series, the Amberlin series, and Spacehoppers (soon to be a series). Under the pen name, Orrin Jason Bradford, he's written the FreeForm series.
