✮✮✮✮⭑

The cover is subtle but attractive. When I first saw the design, I thought of an old quilt pattern called Orange Peel. However, once I got involved in the story, I realized that the six petals within the circle are a flower design. It is the flower of life. The pattern and mention of it recur often in the story. This is not simply a pretty line drawing to cover the front of the book, but an integral part of the story that one comes to understand as you get into the story and get to know the characters and events unfold.

The story itself is simple and yet it may seem complex at the same time. The people of Atitala were facing the end of their world. To carry the knowledge and cultural ideas of their advanced civilization out to the generations to follow, they sent Emissaries into time. These Emissaries would live and try to spread their knowledge, die and be reborn to start all over again. In this way, the knowledge and cultural ways of Atitala would be carried on down the centuries until the world was ready for it again. There is good in the world and we see it so clearly because there is bad in the world to compare it to. So with the Emissaries, there were good and there were bad.

The authors created characters for each of these roles and did so well, that one just can’t imagine any of them crossing over to the other’s camp. Marcus and Theron play by the rules and are squeaky clean. Theron is the daughter of the highest of the Elders, White Elder. There are eight Elders, each assigned a color of the light spectrum from white to black. The Black Elder does not mingle with the common population as he is definitely “bad” and can’t function within the society as others do. At the other end of the spectrum, as you may guess, White Elder is the best of the best so that Green, Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, and Grey Elder fall somewhere in between. I love using color for designators. Into this elevated, enlightened culture was born three children, Marcus, Theron, and Helghul. All three predicted to do great things for their people and culture.

The authors have created characters who travel through time with each of their rebirths and sometimes recognize each other and sometimes not. With each rebirth, they must create a new character and yet retain something of the original character, which the authors have done rather cleverly. As turn and turn again over the centuries the three main characters tumble through time, only two of them retaining any memory of their joint past. The third often a catalyst for violence and destruction.

The pace keeps things moving from start to stop and the tension remains high for the most part. There were times when I thought things were being drawn out a bit, but you can’t tell the story of centuries in just a few pages. The meeting at the end of this book took me not so much by surprise but seemed a bit abruptly handled after the previous centuries. But perhaps that was to make it feel immediate and in the present, which it certainly did. Now, I need to get the second book of this set to find out what happens. I recommend this to readers who enjoy fantasy with a mythological feel to it, almost a Biblical feel to it. I sort of kept looking for Moses to show up with some stone tablets but the culture is way too advanced for stone tablets, maybe iPads. Book two of this set, The Emerald Tablet is due out June 4th! And Book three already has a cover!

I didn't care, I just wanted to be a part of the adventure, and that's what happened.

I didn't care, I just wanted to be a part of the adventure, and that's what happened.

I could tell you all about the world that the authors created but I don't want to spoil anything, so I will leave it in the air, let's just say that this world is complex, although not enough that you would be confused. Like life itself, it has many aspects, many characters that are connected, twists and turns, action and good and evil battling out.

I loved that I got to discover all the peculiarities about this world and about the emissaries by listening to the authors narrate the story. I listen to it during workout at the gym and at some points, I was running and I could almost feel like I was there with the characters and was running around. It was perfect for me and I loved that, I loved that the authors not only captivated me with the storytelling and the amazing characters and world, but they also captivated me with how they narrated the story.

I almost don't know what to say or think. I want to know more about the characters and I want to know if good wins and the future of mankind is safe. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster, thanks to all the emotions, adrenaline, curiosity and concentration I had during the multiple times I listen to the audiobook.

I didn't listen to it in one sitting because I wanted to savor every moment and understand the world to it's fullest. Yet I was still wondering and looking for all the answers and trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Since it's a storytelling about rebirth and love, as much as it is about saving mankind, in this fantasy world, my heart was fully in.

Overall, it's an amazing start of a series and I can't wait to know more and read and listen to more of their books in this series. Do I recommend it? Of course! If the synopsis and my review haven't sold the book yet, I do hope you still give it a try, just look at the cover and it's awesome design. ...more

The central message of the story is about the higher conscious of a being and a role that humans from the Golden Age play in guiding the world in this direction. These chosen humans are called Emissaries. The first chapter begins with a current day scenario of a blogger, just a normal guy. Right after this, the story begins to traverse back and forth in time where Marcus has lived several lives and was reborn over the different ages and has varied life experiences with each of these lives. The start of his life is in 11,600 BC. Here, you learn about the highly evolved humans of the Golden Era and the transition from awakened beings to acceptance of the decline in conscious and eventually, the decline of it. The story touches upon several new enlightening concepts like concept of inner earth and outer earth. The outer earth was descending from golden age to iron age. This would bring chaos to the world and focus on superficial and insignificant things instead of positive learning. The book also focuses on a certain powerful metal- Atlantium. Atlantium is a substance that, if harnessed right, could be utilized to its full potential for the benefit of the world, but if it falls into to the wrong hands a.k.a the hands of humans from iron age, it could be dangerous and destructive. While the elders want to protect this substance, the younger ones believer that they could delay the iron age and somehow manage to use the atlantium. The children go to the inner world only to fall into a continuous pits of difficulty which completely changes their lives in the most unimaginable way. Over a period of time, you watch Marcus go through several miseries in each life and your heart aches every time. The three children gets separated and over the course of the book, their lives intertwine in the most bizarre way and I can't imagine what Marcus must have gone through. Finally, the book ends with a cliff hanger but with an expected twist.

Tamara Veitch & Rene DeFazio are like the new age prophets. This book touches several ancient Indian concepts, cosmic powers, telepathic powers and physic powers that will just make your mind explode with information. The vast knowledge and conceptual apprehension this novel provided, is truly something that I appreciate. The amount of effort and research put into this by them is noteworthy. Although "The Emissary" is a fantasy novel, Tamara and Rene references to several ancient concepts is particularly interesting and you truly begin to understand and make sense of it all. I was taken back in time and into a mystical world while reading this book and I was truly engrossed. The ability they have to be vividly descriptive and allow their readers to picturize everything is simply amazing. This book made me realize how we are driven by and towards materialism and insignificant things while we must be focusing on much greater calling. I believe that they might have actually manage to wake up my snoozed spiritual self. The idea of possessing empathy and to live with compassion instead of selfish desires is something to think about. The ability to look beyond yourself and be a part of something superior to the betterment of the society is something we all need to thrive for and Tamara and Rene are making a point to get this message across. With so much suffering in the world and so little hope left, books like this makes you believe in mankind again. To know that there are still people out there who believe in this purpose is a calming thought.

I want to see what Tamara and Rene have to bring to the table in their sequel because it focuses on current day life scenario and I can't wait to learn something new from it. ...more

The Emissary by Tamara Veich and Rene DeFazio chronicles his early life in an idyllic city prior to the Great Year turmoil, a cataclysmic planetary event which occurs every 26 thousand years. In this original life he is called Marcus - he has two close friends, Helghul, a boisterous, ambitious young man and Theron, the daughter of the city’s spiritual leader. The love that develops between Marcus and Theron breaks up the friendship, and a jealous Helghul is enticed by dark forces to embrace their nefarious plans for the future of mankind. After the turn of the Great Year and the destruction of the trio’s society we follow Marcus through a number of incarnations where as an emissary, he is tasked with promoting knowledge, peace and harmony, while searching for his lost love. His efforts are hampered by his former friend, but now sworn enemy Helghul, who pursues a very different agenda. Which line will the new civilisation of planet Earth follow? Can Marcus /Quinn prevail over the dark forces that have seized control over his former friend? Will he ever be reunited with his lost love Theron?

The basic tenet of The Emissary is the concept that our sun is part of a binary system with the two suns reaching a nexus every 26 thousand years. At this time a great change will take place on our planet and some believe a new Dark Age will commence. Tamara Veich and Rene DeFazio have produced a compelling narrative, full of intriguing concepts and insights, which moves at a brisk pace through a lucidly-imagined history. The ambitious theme is peopled with rounded, believable characters and pulls no punches in its descriptions of turbulent times. I enjoyed the story and was prompted by the list of references at the end to look further into the concept of the Great Year. I hope the authors will accept this as a compliment to their narrative skill. Well-written and researched - a sound, thought-provoking start to what I predict will be a successful series.

It felt almost like the authors were more interested in impressing us with their vocabulary than with keeping the story going. Made it difficult to get into, though I tried several times. I thought I was going to have to give up...until I forced myself to keep going and found that the story really was interesting so it was worth fighting past the writing style to get to the meat.

Following three souls from the very early times such as the Iron and Bronze ages, when we believe Atlantis might have existed, we are given some insight into possible pasts of the human race and the early concepts of good and evil. Most of this book in the series is spent in the very distant past, first showing us the very beginning of the three friends destined to go out in the world as Emissaries, and the division between these friends that brings about the beginnings of evil in the world.

The split comes when two of these souls become soul mates as they begin their journey as Emissaries and one becomes jealous which leads to him going into the world as an Adversary, bent on spreading chaos and evil. While one of the conditions of becoming an Emissary is that from life to life your soul will not remember previous lives, evil finds a way as it usually does. Only this time good decides it needs to even the playing field. Big mistake...or not, depending on your take. Having your memories when your soul mate doesn't can cause it's own problems, not to mention the loneliness of spending life after life searching for your soul mate. In this they bring the "watch what your wish for" saying into play. They do have an interesting way of bringing about a very familiar trope; good vs evil.

Their past takes up most of the book, which is necessary as we need to know the background of the characters to understand what is going on when the present enters the picture. However, the present is very minorly represented and the past is quite intensely represented which left me feeling very much like this should either have been one long book or broken down into one for the beginnings and one for the present/future. The introduction of the present was confusing and incomplete enough that it made little sense to introduce it here, in this book.

With all that being said, I did finally enjoy the book and will read book 2. I just hope the authors make more of an effort to write less like Homer and more like, well, themselves. I have a feeling if they do that they will be fantasy authors to contend with, and certainly will become one of my pre-order group.

All in all, well done, Tamara and Rene, well done indeed. Looking forward to book 2. ...more

What I liked?

Without giving anything away, I can honestly say I was drawn in from the very beginning. The backstories on the main character mainly drew me. I knew a lot happened prior to the opening of this work and it made me want to go back and find out more.

Also, there are a lot of elements to this book. There’s the struggle concerning good and evil of course, but then you’ve got pieces of ancient history with sort of a dystopia twist. I thought it was pretty cool.
