Book
Description
Seven
Point Eight
The most
powerful number in the universe
The
number that connects everything.
It is time to wake up....
A physicist begins a quest to measure the soul
but soon finds himself drawn into the world of the enigmatic Max Richardson,
where research is sold to the military at the highest bid. However, he soon
discovers another purpose when an extremely talented young psychic enters his
life. He devises a project and builds a team to stretch the frontiers of
exploration, only to make a reality-shattering discovery...
Written in the style of a TV series, The First
Chronicle is the beginning of a 5 part epic which follows the spiritual and
emotional journey of five people; their quest to understand the universe and
our place within it.
Quantum physics meets spirituality in a tale
which begins in the 1940s, unfolds during the 1960s; an era of social and
spiritual transformation and reaches its conclusion in the modern age.
It interweaves the human dramas of love,
betrayal, bitterness and above all, courage in a world where everyone must face
their own dark shadow.
For fans
of the paranormal, big sweeping epics, metaphysics, science fiction, Lost, Fringe, contemporary fantasy, alternate
realities and new age/spirituality.
It's
also highly suited to Young Adult readers, who like sci-fi along with their
paranormal, or those who like a more challenging read.
Content
guidance: Suitable for readers aged 15 and over. Sexual scenes are suggestive
as opposed to explicit. Some references to psychedelic drugs.

Book Review:
This book has a lot of technical
scientific information combined with mystical ideas. It is a unique mix of technology and
fantasy. The story is somewhat difficult
to follow as it is told from the point of view of different people, but it is
not always easy to tell who is talking.
I am still unsure of my reaction to
this book. It certainly made me
think. At times I was uncomfortable; and
at other times I was profoundly intrigued.
I think this is a book that I will have to re-read to fully process.
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
