Book Reviews of Numenon: A Tale of Mysticism & Money (Bloodsong, Book 1)
Book Review: "Bring Your Best Warriors" ~ The Task Of Finding One's Way Home Through A Swiss Cheese Universe
Summary: 5 Stars
Synopsis: Join author Sandy Nathan on a revelatory journey of self discovery as she leads the reader along two divergent storylines; one revolving around Will Duane, the richest man in the world and his massive financial empire functioning under the name "Numenon". The other half of the tale concerns a Native American Shaman and visionary known as Grandfather who is about to present his sacred teachings in one last gathering, or pow-wow at an ancient Indian sacred site in Tucson, Arizona.
Will Duane and his "best warriors" ("a warrior is a warrior" even in a business suit) are on an unprecedented excursion to this sacred gathering to meet with Grandfather for reasons only known to Will and Grandfather. A clash of Spirit is about to occur, something ordained by powers beyond the control of either man. Whatever happens will be of monumental significance and the Powers of Light and Darkness will have their say before all that is to be is brought to fruitition.
Critique: The new release `Numenon' by Sandy Nathan is one of the most superbly developed, intensely riveting and profoundly moving works of fiction I've read in quite a long time. The author's attention to detail, in-depth character development and cohesive, constantly evolving storyline will keep the reader transfixed from beginning to end.
Even more impressive (if that's possible) is the fascinating spirituality so beautifully and intricately weaved throughout this wonderful first volume of `The Bloodsong Series'. The spiritual teachings constitute the Story behind the story and introduce the reader to potent, invisible energies and beings flowing around and through physical creation. Yes even today in this jaded, profane 21st century world they continue to impact us whether we're consciously aware of their presence of not.
More often than not when anything of a spiritual nature finds it way into a work of fiction one immediately becomes aware of the distinct possibility of a hidden agenda on the part of the author, the ever-present fear of attempted evangelization have ruined many a good book. However that is certainly not the case here. The author has done a masterful job at blending the profane with the sacred that can be enjoyed on so many different levels whether you're spiritually inclined or not.
It just doesn't get any better than this, 'Numenon' receives my highest recommendation. I anxiously await part two!
