In the book hARRY: The Journey Home by Iam Oliver, Harry travels to London when his father, Lord Robert of Eaton, is near death, only to learn that Robert is not only a nobleman but also an Ispirian from another world who has acted as Earth’s Guardian since 1714. Charged with guiding progress and preventing destruction, Robert passes this responsibility on to Harry, who gains the ability to live as both human and Ispirian. Soon after, Harry is killed along with one of the twelve Disciples who aided his father, but he is restored to life through another Disciple’s sacrifice. His return coincides with the arrival of his Aunt Gertrude and her guest Isadora, sparking romance, while repeated threats and his connection to the Foreign Office set him on his Guardian path.
Iam Oliver's hARRY: The Journey Home is a really unique science fiction novel that taps into a completely new area for me as a reader: the prodigal British aristocrat son that returns, not just inheriting a title, documents, and artifacts, but the full weight of his father’s legacy as an alien agent and savior of humanity. With this comes questions of loyalty and betrayal that lead to escalating physical threats, from Shebak’s disclosure to a chandelier incident. Harry’s balance between human vulnerability and unrealized alien abilities is as much a part of the story as falling in love with Isadora. I like how intimate domestic moments, including holiday preparations, teasing, and family routines, alternate with detailed strategic operations such as Assignment UKFO-1194, military logistics, and household hierarchies. With tight writing, excellent dialogue, and a brilliant cast, I'm excited to see where the series goes.
