Journey From The Beyond
John’s novel specifically adapted for young readers
The story of an exciting ancient adventure was created for my remarkable family of kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. To honor them I’ve included modified names for each.
Journey from the Beyond is a story based on my first novel In the Shadow of Babylon focusing on the ancient story for young readers. It incorporates life lessons handed down over several thousand years. It is a fascinating myth about creating one’s own destiny through visualization... living in the present moment... controlling emotions... and eliminating grief and sadness.
The main character Jahele’s narrative is a marvelous hero story. After his family is murdered, he travels into the Beyond revealing his experiences and the unusual encounters in an ancient world we rarely think about today. The narrative pulls readers through the pages. The epoch-spanning thriller excites and satisfies readers.
Others have claimed that this novel is truly lyrical, vivid, and intelligently drawn. The plot is tightly structured, with seamless transitions and strong, solid scenes.
