Product Description

Product Description

THOUGHT IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN YOU THINK...

Present-day Earth: Schoolteacher Roman Doyle - 25, is married; and his wife is pregnant. He remains unaware he is Prince Armon Sakara, heir of the Emperor of a distant galaxy. That is, until he encounters Chi-Ro Jin, a veteran of the Psychic Wars.

Chi-Ro’s mission is to return Roman to the Emperor. And so, with his dormant psychic and astral abilities awakened by an alien drug, Roman journeys to the distant galaxy known as The Cosmic Sea, where he joins the Second Psychic War: An interstellar battle between the forces of his father, the Emperor,
and those of his uncle, the Baron.

Torn between his princely responsibilities and those to his wife and unborn child, Roman discovers a shocking alien plot that threatens humanity.

Reviews:

"This is a great book! The actions starts in the first paragraph and doesn’t stop until the last with no slowing down." ~ Tony-Paul ('A Splash of Scarlet' Blog).

"‘Star Wars’ meets ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ is a fine description of Veterans of the Psychic Wars, as long as you realize that the hero isn’t a wimp like Luke Skywalker and that the amazing warriors of Crouching Tiger would be toast before this story hits its stride." ~ Clayton Clifford Bye (Professional Reviewer).

"‘Veterans of the Psychic Wars’ is a ‘heroic monomyth’ as described by Joseph Campbell in his book ‘The Hero with a Thousand Faces’; as such, fans of ‘Star Wars’, ‘The Matrix’, or ‘Dune’ should enjoy it. I highly recommend this book." ~ The Dark (Smashwords Reviewer)

“Veterans of the Psychic Wars was a real thrill to read… It has everything a good story should have with various sub-plots, conflicted characters, interesting twists and edge-of the seat alien encounters.” ~ Sonya Iovieno (Amazon Reviewer)

"I highly recommend this book if you are a Sci-fi lover for it has everything you are looking for; Star Wars meets Enter the Dragon. Be prepared to be hanging off the edge of your seat wanting more." ~ Rayven ('Darkiss Reads' Blog).

“This is a well written and well thought out book… [It has] some of the imperialistic feel of Dune (Frank Herbert), the ideas from the Matrix (training within dream worlds), the Primes within the Talents (Anne McCaffrey), and the technology of Babylon 5 and Star Wars.” ~ Mike Thompson (Amazon Reviewer)

“I was thrilled to come across Veterans of the Psychic Wars. It really is a sweeping, old style space opera in form, but with a depth of detail and personality development beyond anything I have read in a long time… The evolving personal interactions, not always positive, between friends, mentors and ambiguous allies old and new all serve to ground the narrative convincingly. It also has to be said, the ultimate enemies here are stomach-churningly gruesome.” ~ Oana (Amazon Reviewer)

This is a well written and well thought out book. From the outset it brings together the 'ordinary' in the main character (Roman Doyle) and the vastness of the galaxy with the psychic wars, spread over many worlds and beings.
It is obvious that much work went into working out the background (in the full book there are appendices on the characters, medals, and a glossary of terms from the Talisian language and the story).
The many characters are well crafted and do not change throughout the book (except due to events in the story). I found that I got a bit lost in all of the names, however, the author does ensure the reader knows the main names by using them often and in context.
It is not obvious from the Product Description of the vastness of the story world; during the initial stages of the book this is hinted at through Chi-Ro Jin, who provides history and background for Roman (and hence the reader). However, in the latter stages of the book, the reader begins to feel at first hand (through Roman himself) the hugeness and importance of the world that he is forced into.
The book had some of the imperialistic feel of Dune (Frank Herbert), the ideas from the Matrix (training within dream worlds), the Primes within the Talents (Anne McCaffrey), and the technology of Babylon 5 and Star Wars.
While I made rather heavy of the reading, I enjoyed the book and its ending.
For Kindle readers: this is the first 'self-published' book that I have read that has not had typos in it and was well laid out.

Vererans of the Psychic Wars brings to life a vast cosmos that's teeming with diverse characters and traditions. The story has been influenced by some of my favourite films (The Matrix/Star Wars/Dune) and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Fans of sci-fi will find much to savour in the attention to detail. The ending is very satisfying and leaves the door wide open for a sequel. Something I'll definitely be looking out for.

Veterans of the Psychic Wars is a very difficult book to put the down once you start reading!

The action is fast paced and the detail, created from what must have been extensive research, has formed a fully fleshed out universe reminding me of the great Sci-Fi books of the past such as Dune (Frank Herbert) and the Asimov series. The hero goes from an ordinary man to discover his real past and his exciting adventure filled future taking his wife and best friend along for the ride.

I would heartily recommend this book to anyone who loves well written fiction with well thought out situations and interesting characters that develop over the story arc. I am looking forward to the sequels!
