The Arrival of the Drakons, by Francis Gerard

Drakons gives us a glimpse into an extraordinary human future, although one where the past is not quite the same as history books would have it. Zade McDonald is a San bushman teenager living in the wilds of Botswana's Okavanga swamps. He can speak to animals, read minds and connect with forces much greater than himself.

His powers are both a gift and a curse, and they haven't gone unnoticed. Someone has been watching him. 

Will Zade's powers prevent the destruction of the entire universe! This kind of power attracts both good and evil- Will he choose the right path in time to save the people he loves!
