A JOURNEY BEYOND THE END OF THE WORLD...
Henna and Gala, two inseparable sisters, have grown up in a land where the sun never sets - literally.
Together with their friends, they set out on an expedition to the end of the world. Many, many adventures later, the intrepid explorers find their goal - and discover that their world is much larger than they ever imagined...
This published 70,000-word novel is a fast-paced tale of discovery, for readers of all ages.
TERRA HEXA (Wela, Sweden 2004) was followed by the sequels
TERRA HEXA II (Wela, 2006) and
TERRA HEXA 3 (2007 - e-book edition from Wela, POD paperback edition from the author through CafePress.)
ATTENTION PUBLISHERS: The English version of TERRA HEXA is a book series in search of a publisher. Agents and publishers are welcome to contact the author A.R.Yngve and request the complete English manuscript TERRA HEXA for review.
Note to collectors: The Swedish edition of TERRA HEXA(2004) should not be confused with an aborted 1999/2000 English version from Xlibris Corp. The aborted Xlibris edition, though listed on Amazon.com, exists only in a handful of copies. It was discontinued by the author himself shortly after publication, and is NOT the definitive version of TERRA HEXA.

Reviews of TERRA HEXA (Swedish 2004 edition):
Robert Andersson, in the Swedish magazine MITRANIA:
[...] "The beginning of the book consists of preparations for the expedition, and is happy-go-lucky, and perhaps not as thrilling as one would have wanted.
However, then TERRA HEXA evolves into a brilliant adventure novel which entertains those who have become blase. One almost thinks of Jules Verne." [...]
Pelle Magnusson, DAST Magazine #1/2005:
"This is said to be a fantasy novel for young people, but the fact is it works just as well to read it as a book for adults."
Lena Kjersen Edman, for Bibliotekstjanst(The Swedish Library Service):
(...) "The book's protagonists, the sisters Henna and Gala, Uncle Ingo and the brothers Mick and Rydel, have names which sound un-Swedish, and one senses that the author wants to reach an international market. It would not surprise me if he succeeds." [...]
"It [TERRA HEXA] is thoroughly thrilling, without being too scary for sensitive young readers."
Hilda Ekstedt (13 years old), for the Swedish magazine ICA-KURIREN:
(...) "The story is good and everything hangs together in a skillful way, it feels unreal in places though. But it is still a thrilling and good fantasy tale."
Tobias Andersson in the Swedish review blog Bokbloggen:
[...] "Terra Hexa never feels stagnant; things keep happening all the time and if you tend to get bored by long-winded descriptions, then this is the book for you."
