PRAISE
“A deeply engrossing read! The book blends some very interesting threads on technology, spirituality and fascinating personalities. I found the book deeply engrossing and had to return to the ending for more than one read to fully appreciate its significance. I found the author’s exploration of the “recovery” process most interesting and handled with a fairly “light” touch…The book kept me fully engaged and I recommend it without hesitation – not only was it an enjoyable read, but one that got me thinking. I look forward to future books by this author!”

“Illusion and consciousness. A credible evaluator of my two favorite subjects, placed within a wonderful story. I loved this book and await further work from this brilliant author.”
— Amazon Reviewer, Gary Beach, MD
“The author posits that we are all part of a combined consciousness, and it is only our own Ego that keeps us trapped into believing that we are separate from each other… As The Karma Sequence proceeds, the reader is offered a number of difficult decisions to think through in order to decide for themself just exactly what is right, wrong and technical or spiritual. This book will definitely make you question your beliefs.”
