A frantic phone call from close friends, puts Carlin Thornton-Kramer on the first step to an adventure of a lifetime. Two strange statues have been discovered at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, one three foot tall, the other a smaller replica. The statues exert strange influences over all who come into contact with them, including Carlin. Already showing signs of psychic ability, her powers increase when anywhere near the statue.

But what is it? Where is it from and how did it get here? For the place where the statue is discovered, predates human occupation of that section of land. Carlin starts getting disturbing visions, war, terror and bloodshed, visions that seem to be of the future. But how can it be stopped?

It seems that the cosmos is home to a psychic vampire, who feeds on negative energy from humans and lately, there has been a lot of it about, and things are going to get much worse:

For Gaia, Mother Earth herself, wants to wipe out the human race...

This is a sweeping adventure of a book, taking the reader on a fantastic journey from the US, India, Africa and the cosmos itself. The descriptions are breathtaking with a wealth of well drawn characters, feisty heroines, murderous villains, all entwined in a story of adventure and romance.

It deals with a lot of things, reincarnation, predestiny, psychic abilities, but all flow well within the central storyline. My only complaint is that sometimes the dialogue comes across as a bit stilted and unrealistic and anytime the British characters spoke, it was like a cliche. Things like, "My good man," and "Old chap."

Living in England, I have yet to hear anyone actually say that!

It’s an epic tale, so make sure to leave some time to savour it.

A good read.
