Protectors Diaries (Vol. 1): The Fifth Force

Protectors Diaries #1

by Joseph Selbie

Visionary sci-fi/fantasy. Moments after learning that he holds the key to the unimaginably powerful 5th force, Michael is attacked by men sent by arms dealer Rockshaw-who wants the secret of the 5th force for himself-or Michael dead. With only seconds to spare Michael is rescued by the unknown-but strangely familiar Elle-who uses telekinetic powers and a stolen motorcycle to race him to safety. Michael soon discovers that he is Elle's timeless companion and has been reborn once more as leader of the spiritually advanced Protectors guided by the immortal Atri and Atria. As Michael regains his powers-and reawakens crucial life memories of Galileo, Gandhi, Newton, and Einstein-Michael and Elle shape-shift into new identities and surreptitiously use their powers to extract a scientist from North Korea, raid Rockshaw's secret labs in Essen, and hijack a supercomputer, in an all out sprint to discover the 5th force. Meanwhile an unknown betrayer is attempting to deliver them-and the secret of the 5th force-into Rockshaw's hands. "The Protectors Diaries provide page-turning reads, but these books are much more than a great fantasy/thriller series. They say there is truth in fiction, and amidst the action, Selbie manages to weave in an uplifting and compelling vision of our own high spiritual potentials. The first in series, The Fifth Force, gets off to a rocketing start and is continued in the second, The Six. The series skillfully combines leading-edge science, ancient history, contemporary issues, telepathy, levitation, great characters, love, and loyalty. Engaging and inspiring. You'll be glad you couldn't put them down." Graham Hancock author of War God: Nights of the Witch and Fingerprints of the Gods

About the author

Selbie makes the complex and obscure simple and clear. A dedicated meditator for over forty years, he has taught yoga and meditation throughout the US and Europe. He has also been an avid follower of the unfolding new paradigm of science—with groaning bookshelves to show for it—and he is known for creating bridges of understanding between the modern evidenced-based discoveries of science and the ancient experience-based discoveries of the mystics.

Author and lecturer, Joseph studied ancient Western cultures at the University of Colorado and ancient Eastern cultures at UC Berkeley. He has had a keen interest in ancient history since grade school. He has taught and lectured on the principles of Eastern philosophy for over thirty years.

Selbie has also authored, The Yugas, a factual look at India’s tradition of cyclical history, and a sci/fi fantasy series, The Protectors Diaries, inspired by the abilities of mystics.

Selbie is a founding member of Ananda—a meditation-based community and spiritual movement inspired by Paramhansa Yogananda. He lives with his wife at Ananda Village near Nevada City, California.
