Product Description

Book Description

In the world of Night Seekers live three races. The humans and the ancients - The Pale Ones and The Dark Ones - those who live in a world created from the sleeping minds of the humans.

Yet this world is in danger, humans are now immortal. Locked away from the land and from one another in vast spire cities, they are more machine than human. They no longer have need of dreams and the world of their imaginations is dying.

And their land is dying too. A sacred mountain they have drained to keep themselves alive. Unless something is done, all three races will die.

Into this step Sahla and Daviki, the Dark Ones, Kai-ya and Dil-ya, the Pale Ones, and Darbo, Fainan and Kelefeni, the humans. Watching over them all is Zinni, an ancestral shaman who knows much of the world they are trying to save.

But it is more than this; in saving the land they save much more, selves, souls, spirits and hearts. Struggling for realisation, for love, for freedom.

Travelling through time, space and the eternal land, all of them face more than they had ever realised.

The source of life itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night Seekers, an epic tale beautifully done!, 26 Nov 2002
By galaxy 33 (Del Mar, CA United States) - See all my reviews
The first novel by Lauren Halkon, Night Seekers is an epic tale exploring the interpenetrating worlds of dream, reality, consciousness, and evolution. The literary artistry is masterful, the imagery mind-boggling, psychedelic. The author creates a brilliant coalescence of a technologically advanced future human race with the spirits of the unseen worlds of ancient times, in a desperate and agonizing search for understanding their true relationship to each other and their common destiny. The author seeks not just to entertain, which she does with great style and force, but she takes you into her mind, her soul. To put you with her, in her. This is what Art seeks to achieve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic imaginative journey, 10 Oct 2003
Night Seekers is set in a far future land of dreams, a world seemingly doomed to destruction because the immortal descendents of humanity are losing the power to dream and imagine. Sahla is a Dark One, a tribal shaman who may be the saviour of her world or may inadvertently hasten its destruction.

This is a hugely imaginative book, populated by memorable characters and ideas, and beautifully written. The clash of cultures is fascinating and sometimes uncomfortable. It takes you on an epic journey through spirit realms of light and darkness, and builds to a wonderfully apocalyptic ending.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too ephemeral, 4 Aug 2003
By A Customer
There's no doubt that Lauren Halkon has great command of the english language and an extraordinary imagination. In some ways there's much about this book to recommend, but on a personal note I found this book to be too surreal for my tastes and the writing, though lyrical and eloquent, to be too ephemeral. If you like that type of thing you will love this book - if not, be warned. Just not for me.
