The Link
The Link
The Third MillenniumLarge numbers of TLC readers accept the concept of reincarnation, either as reality or as a possible reality, along with the idea that as we are born into each new lifetime we forfeit the memory of previous lives. What if we could remember? Say you've been here time and again over a period spanning millennia. Think of how different your life today would be if you could recapture the memories of languages you spoke and skills you acquired in those other lifetimes!
That's the link— each lifetime linked in consciousness to the previous and to the next, with understanding enhanced by the tools of the master astrologer. A group of people traveling through a series of reincarnations, from the dawn of the Christian era to modern times, re-encounter each other over and over and play out an intriguing drama sure to hold your interest to the end.
The tale, explains the author, is pure fiction. In fact, it started out to be a somewhat different story, but when history took an unexpected turn on September 11, 2001, the story followed suit. From the opening lines until it comes full-circle at the end, we experience the unfolding of events through the eyes of the protagonist as he strives to avoid being killed by an age-old nemesis, meeting up along the way with friends, enemies and loved ones from lives gone by, each of whom plays a crucial role in the current drama.
The Link is a spiritual novel. Relying heavily on Christian mythology for storyline, the book nonetheless honors the truth and laments the falsehoods inherent in all religions. I had a little trouble myself getting past the Christian motif – and the book's need for a professional edit, something I find all too often with self-published authors —to the point that I nearly set it aside by the time I reached the middle of the sixth chapter. But something compelled me to read on, and I'm glad I did. The Link turned out to be a gripping tale with excellent character development and a plot replete with unanticipated twists and historical insight.
