More About This Book

Overview

Two scientists from Earth discover how to make a worm hole within minutes of a global nuclear attack. After fleeing through the wormhole, they discover entirely new sensations. With the scientific knowledge of earth, and the ability to use spiritual energy to affect the world around them, the scientists create a paradise for the human inhabitants; until they disagree on the form of governing...
A war engulfs the planet as the scientists try to assert their form of governing. Jerard gives a species from the spirit realm authority to possess the bodies of any law-breakers for a short time to help prevent crime. Terrance insists these beings are not mature enough to support such an idealistic role, which proves correct as the Gorinthian spirits begin possessing people for the sole purpose of experiencing human sensations. Terrance and his allies finally defeat Jerard and his host of Gorinthians by creating a shield below the planet's crust that prevents the planet's spirit from reaching the surface. As a result, the entire world almost dies as refugees are forced into small pockets where the planet's spirit burst through the shield at a much higher pressure. The effect of the planet's overwhelming spirit causes severe mutations in the few hotspots left around the globe. Humans begin to change into a different species, while plant life becomes more exotic and sentient. This story takes place two thousand years after the great war, with the shield that protected the planet's inhabitants from the Gorinthians has nearly disintegrated. It is up to a small group of people from the city of Chasel Ri' Aven to find a way to stop the Gorinthian hordes before it is too late. To add to the confusion, the wormhole that deposited Terrance and Jerard on the new world was never disconnected. It flops through space-time like a true worm, sucking unsuspecting humans and other species onto the new world at random.

Gorinthians is another story in the Mirrors of the World saga. Each book is a look into the same core group of character's lives, but in different dimensions. Each story is completely autonomous from my other titles, unless listed as a sequel. Hopefully this will help to reduce some of the confusion regarding the similarities of Shalilayo and Gorinthians. They are both stories of the same group of characters, but each story focuses on a separate parallel universe where their adventures are unique.

Meet the Author

Born 2/28/1979 in Cedar City, UT. Currently residing with wife in Bullfrog, UT as an IT for Aramark. My wife and I are Vegans, which you might have guessed if you read Shalilayo. I love to write science fiction, compose music, dabble in electronics, explore caves, program and design web sites. My greatest hope in life is to see humans take the next step into sentient awareness and become a welcome species in the galactic neighborhood. The greatest part of my life is my wife, Marlaine, who has been with me for more lives than just about anyone else. If you are familiar with the character named Riah in Shalilayo, you will have an insight to what kind of person Marlaine is.

    Really good read!

    This bok was not at all waht I expected it to be...and that made it even better. It was a really great read, I really enjoyed this book. It is worth the read, especially if you like sci-fy and adventure. The characters are well developed (for the most part, there are a few characters you get a little fuzzy on, but otherwise you get to know them as they develop through the book).

    Great story

    I hope that there is more books to come. Interesting concept. I really enjoy this type of sci-fi when the author takes you into a new world. The creation of new cultures when well done expandes our minds and helps us to be more tollerant of the difference in todays many cultures. A good book. Sanna

    Good story but ended with to many loose ends; almost as if the author was in a hurry to finish.
