Leading Numenon, the largest and most powerful corporation on the Earth, Will Duane carries a secret. Haunted for years by the memory of his demanding and verbally abusive father, Will compensates by driving for ever greater success at all costs. Ethics, faithfulness, relationships, all take a back seat to his overriding lust for power. But the success he achieves leaves him empty. Forever stalked by a dark presence creating a pall over everything in his life, Will finds solace by retreating More...

It was ok. I was intrigued by the description of the book, but in the end it turned out to be the black/white, god/devil same old boring dichotomy. There were flaws that kept jarring me out of the story, before I realized the dichotomous nature, but they hinted at it. I was uneasy about where the story would lead, from early on. But the characterization kept me guessing, so I continued reading. I almost put it down somewhere past the half-way point when it used yet another character to harp on a More...

I really enjoyed the book, this is really 3 1/2 stars. The story was engaging and presented many concepts, most I agreed with and some I did not but gave me pause, which was all good. Toward the end there were many typos which began to distract, and the end was... well, not an ending. It felt as if a resolution had been promised but I did not feel as if even a preliminary awakening had been resolved. It was as if this book was rushed to publication - many characters were left stranded. I really More...

I really wanted to like this book. The writing was nice and the characters were intriguing.

But I abandoned this book after reading 75% of it.

Why? Because the plot build up kept hinting at "Something Big" happening any minute now. For 300 pages the story promises that any minute now "Something Big" is going to happen. Finally, I decided that it was time to call a spade a spade, and so, I laid this one to rest.

I agree with reviews that there is very little to like about most of the characters in this book but this is a very well written novel that explores some ideas that I feel comfortable with but experience little in my reading. This book felt like light fair, even considering the topics (power, spirituality) yet is a quick read, fairly fast paced and written with a respect and feeling that the author strongly believes in.

This is a wonderful book about a fully imagined civilization of native Americans and some corporate types coming to meet them. The characters are intriguing and the situations they face go beyond the ordinary.

I found this book very enjoyable and am looking forward to reading the next in the series. I think anyone will find this story a fine read.

A stunning book. Brings together strands of Native American Shamanism and history, Christianity and mysticism with corporate America and the supernatural. An epic tale of good vs evil told in a spellbinding way... couldn't put it down. One of those life changing books that comes along once in a while.

I really couldn't find anything good about the book. Each character except, grandfather, was not likeable. The lead in the book, Will wasn't someone I could buy into either. I got 40% though the book and gave up. I just didn't want to finish a book where there was no one I could root for in the end.
