Important Notes: As the sequel to Parallel Lifetimes and a follow up to The Beam of Interest, Reality Shaper is an unusual and accurately researched crime novel that draws together strands from the author s previous books. However, it is written in such a way that it can be read as a self-contained novel. For reasons of authenticity, great care has been taken to ensure technical, geographical and historical accuracy throughout. The time and location details given at the beginning of each chapter are as precise as possible. This most especially applies to those parts of the narrative set in the period of the First World War. Fictional characters have been inserted into actual events. Much of the action depicted herein is based upon eyewitness accounts. Many are aware of the tragic losses incurred by the British Army in July 1916 at the Somme. Few, however, know that the root causes of this disaster may be found in the terrible battles at Neuve-Chapelle and Aubers Ridge fought during the preceding year. Dreadful mistakes were made by both sides. However, the allied commanders failed for the most part to learn from these harshest of lessons or else drew the wrong conclusions. This led to the most appalling consequences. Readers may also be interested to discover that the German unit confronting the British at Aubers Ridge in 1915 was the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment in which a certain Corporal Adolf Hitler served as a runner at the time. Although this novel is oftentimes modern, violent and visceral in its presentation, the author has attempted to introduce themes from the Fourth Way of PD Ouspensky. SynopsisOn March 10th 1915, Captain Christian Braithwaite faces the sternest of tests as he prepares to lead his men into battle in the first set piece British offensive of the Great War at Neuve-Chapelle. However, his confidence in the High Command is quickly eroded as the artillery plan for the attack by his battalion in the direction of Aubers R.

Call of the Void
EN NWISBN: 9781480245778 bzw. 1480245771, in Englisch, neu.
Call of the Void is a mystery thriller which charts the journey of a young man, Gideon Peters, in search of an answer to one of life´s most intriguing questions: what is the point and purpose of my existence? The story is set in pre-digital age Britain and spans the 22 years of Gideon´s life from 1961 to 1983 as his quest takes him to London. At the request of his father, he enlists in a campaign to expose the political agenda of a secret cult within the capital. Gideon is taken to the limit of his physical endurance and moral courage in a traumatic encounter with its leader: the mysterious Magus; a man who will stop at nothing to protect his technology of hypnotic persuasion and the power it bequeaths to commit the perfect murder. No one is as they appear to be as Gideon is forced to confront his inner demons and his deepest fear: a compelling impulse to self destruction. Call of the Void has a strong philosophical, religious and spiritual theme with an emphasis on hypnosis. It is an exploration of the unconscious powers of the human mind written by a professional hypnotherapist. Through Gideon´s eyes we are invited to challenge conventional ideas on the nature of reality, good versus evil, free will against determinism as he struggles to unravel the enigma of the baffling but commonplace urge to leap from high places: the Call of the Void. Set in an alternate world, great care has been taken to mirror historical accuracy as the story reaches its dramatic conclusion against the backdrop of the General Election in the United Kingdom in June 1983. Gideon is betrayed and thrown to the wolves as he faces a pulverizing street fight against the Magus´s most dangerous henchman: Boris Pasternak.Call of the Void is a mystery thriller inspired by my adolescent love of American DC and Marvel comics combined with a lifelong interest in philosophy and hypnosis. In particular, it draws on the Crisis on Earth Two adventure with the Justice League of America to provide the ...
