Set in 2059, the futuristic series features Kapten Neo, a superhero who saves the world from environmental destruction.

The final product, the Nanoken pentalogy, recounts the adventure of a young scientist from Malaysia named Prof Nano, who is highly-skilled in biomimicry science.

Aided by a team of superheroes led by Kapten Neo, Prof Nano goes all out in protecting the world from the arch-villains, the ‘Four Knights of the Apocalypse’ led by Dr Ion.

The character Kapten Neo is portrayed as a brave, young and kind-hearted genius who is also a highly-charismatic team leader.

Other members of his special-ability squad include ‘Isadora’, ‘Chi’, and ‘Pendeta Kudus’.

“His parents are environmental activists. Tragedies and life experiences have made Kapten Neo highly appreciative of the environment.

“Like his father, Kapten Neo loves environmental science and wants to make a change.

“Equipped with the ability of harnessing a unique force known as ‘Nanoken’ and also a time portal, he is always battling his archenemy, a wicked scientist who sets out to rule the world by ruining the environmental sustainability and the green ecosystems of Planet Earth,” Hafizul described the main characters of the series.

On these characters, Hafizul said the main challenge was to make the public understand the message of environmental preservation and sustainability.

“It seems that such a message is not being held in high esteem in society.

Hafizul said they did their very best to make the story ‘more relaxed and easier to understand’, acknowledging that not all readers knew scientific, technical or engineering lingo.

“So, we strove to simplify it through easy-to-understand storytelling, although I must say it was a bit difficult with me not being an expert in the field of writing and having never published any book before,” he said.
