Mystic Warrior: A Novel Beyond Time And Space

by Edwin Harkness Spina

"The DaVinci Code meets The X-Files. Mystic Warrior takes the spiritual novel to a whole new level," says Dannion Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of Saved by the Light.

Spiritual fiction that illustrates humanity's largely untapped spiritual potential, Mystic Warrior takes place in a world where psychic abilities like telepathy, remote viewing and astral projection are used (and abused) by both ordinary people and those at the highest levels of government and world leadership.

Since time immemorial, there have been stories, legends and rumors of secret societies that help initiates to develop psychic abilities and supernatural skills. Telepathy, remote viewing and astral projection are some of the mystic skills practiced by the characters in this award-winning spiritual novel...

Alec Thorn is a thirty-something go-getter looking to make it big. When a key business ally dies suspiciously, his dream is shattered. Sophie, a wise, eccentric florist, mysteriously leads him to a discovery that will change his life forever -- the leader of an elite group of mercenaries has a personal vendetta against him (centuries old) and wants him dead.

Ominously, the mercenaries are threatening to auction off a nuclear device to fanatic terrorists bent on world destruction. Aided by Sophie and a rogue bounty hunter, Thorn begins a desperate race against time to develop his psychic abilities and survive in a world he had no idea even existed and where his previous beliefs about time and space no longer make sense.

Thorn's spiritual transformation reveals an unknown world of selfless mystics working behind the scenes using advanced psychic abilities to battle terrorists and the power elite. This unassuming entrepreneur-turned-mystic-warrior battles against seemingly insurmountable odds with the fate of millions hanging in the balance.

Mystic Warrior won the Independent Publisher Book Award for Visionary Fiction and a Nautilus Silver Book Award for Fiction/Visionary Fiction. (Deepak Chopra won the Nautilus Gold that year.)

My usual reading consists of non-fiction spiritual and personal growth books, so reading Mystic Warrior was a bit of a departure for me. While I was drawn to it for its spiritual orientation, the overall story-telling in this book is simply exceptional. I read a few chapters the first night I opened it and it was really challenging to put down. The next day I picked it up and felt compelled to finish the whole book in one sitting, as I was so drawn into the story that I simply had to find out how it ended. The author artfully maintains suspense throughout the book, and also does a great job of character development. Bottom line, I really enjoyed reading this book, and found it be both entertaining and thought-provoking as well.

Wonderful, insightful, spiritual. This book makes realize that the impossible is possible. It was extremely well written, and a book you do not want to put down until you read the last sentence.

Highly recommended!

It's a stretch to call this "spiritual fiction," it's more of a fantasy novel. This book is poorly written, with repetitive language, shifting POVs, and ridiculous thought-reading processes. An editor could have helped point out some of these errors and also helped with the slow pace. I'm always looking for a good spiritual novel, and read lots of them, but unfortunately I found this novel extremely boring. I skipped the last 30% and only read the last chapter, because I just couldn't take it any more.

Having said all this, other people seem to have enjoyed the book and have gotten some spiritual lessons from it, so maybe it's just not for me.

What really bothered me, though, was in the Acknowledgments where Mr. Spina doesn't name the poor souls who had to read early versions of this drivel and provide feedback. It takes hours to read a book. Beta readers should be thanked by name. They did the author a huge favor. Unforgivable.

A strange book, might be called an urban fantasy and yet not quite. The author's style didn't do much for me, too much telling me what characters felt rather than showing me. Also jumped around a lot and didn't really hold my interest as much as other books I've read lately. The cover says it has several awards but I don't know anything about them or how this book won.

Great book for a piece of fiction

I enjoyed reading this book. Some situations and characters seemed to come alive as I read. Great book for a piece of fiction work!

Perfect story

This story captures the illusion of mind and brings forth the hidden truth of mystics. Very grateful for this story and how the author drew us in.

Very interesting story! Makes you wonder, how close is this fictional plot to becoming reality?

2012 11 05 - Funny, but this is advertised as a novel. As far as I have gotten in it, this seems to be more of a spiritual self-help book in the Universalist vein.
