Preface for my book, Phonikinetics. This is the third book I am recording for podcasting. In Phonikinetcis we follow Lumi of Kini Ki Ana and Hendrik of Amarukovski as they go through their own personal trials. One day, a bollide falls and strikes their world. Afterwards, they find they can bend sound to their will. Some, as in Kini Ki Ana, find the utility of this ability. Some, as in Amarukovski, see it as a portent from their gods. For Lumi and Hendrik, it simply marks the start of new chapters in their lives.
