Description

One thing lies behind it all: The mind of Stefan Dürr.

Existence is dreary hell for Dr. Beau Walker. An embittered loner, he sleepwalks through life until the government virtually kidnaps him, hurling him into an incredibly menacing adventure beyond his wildest imaginings.

Advance Praise

“Deft dialogue, crisp plotting, and a likable central figure make this multidisciplinary scientific adventure an exuberant and involving read.” Kirkus Review

“A thrilling read” New Consciousness Review

“Having the right amount of adventure and romance, this crisscrossing genre tale isn’t just a good read, but may also look great on a big screen.” Portland Book Review

“…the book mixes uncommon palettes and manages a masterpiece with it. It is a surprising, suspenseful, and utterly superb read from start to end.” Self-Publishing Review

“…highly recommended, indeed; especially for thriller and sci-fi readers who have become deluged with too much predictability and who seek cutting-edge action, believable protagonists, and action that is solidly intense throughout.” Midwest Book Review

Netgalley: Best book ever! Needs to be a movie!!! Must read for your sci- fi/fantasy library now! 5.0 out of 5 stars By Montzalee Wittmann The Shiva Syndrome Trilogy is in the top 10 books of the best sci-fi/fantasy books I have read in over 40 years and I read over 200 books a year! It has everything I love in a sci-fi and fantasy in one book and makes it flow seamlessly and naturally. Very scientific, very mystic, very action packed, edge of your seat, who is who, and who is WHAT action. This is a book for any sci-fi fan! I hope a director like Steven Spielberg , James Cameron, or any other great sci-fi director will read this book because this is worthy of a movie! The plot is full of surprises and fast moving with lots of twists and turns. The characters are well developed and complex. There is no putting this book in a certain category, it stands by itself. It is thought provoking and intriguing. I reviewed this book for NetGalley and I am so glad I had the chance or I might not have picked it up, don’t miss out!

The book was thrilling and intense read. It was also a very unique and novel idea. It was somewhat hard to classify: sci-fi, thriller, paranormal, horror. I enjoyed this book and read it rather quickly. I found the characters to be interesting and a driving force in the book. I would definitely read the next one.
