by Richard Lee Ferguson

Overview

Haunted caves; an obese opportunistic warlord; strange voices ...

As the war rages on, John Powers and his fellow pilgrims cross paths with a menacing obese warlord and his scheming assistant, with devastating consequences, and encounter haunted caves with iron doors and endless branches that lead to unknown destinations in time and space. Meanwhile, the voices continue to harangue John and pilgrim Bai Meiying to produce a son.

Are the voices real? Why are they so insistent that John and Meiying have a child? Is John truly schizophrenic? Are the caves actually haunted? Who-or what-is behind the iron doors?

The Stillness Series is a thought-provoking saga that contemplates the end of the human race as we know it. It begins with a small group of humans seeking a mysterious woman known as Her and culminates many generations later in the rise of a new, more powerful, and empathetic species, the Superior Ones.

About the Author

Richard Lee Ferguson has been passionate about Asia since he was a small boy, when his father told him stories about his experiences as a Marine officer in China. His passion grew deeper as a result of his own experiences in Vietnam where he spent almost a year in the jungle fighting the Viet Cong, the North Vietnamese Army, and malaria. After returning from the war, he obtained a Master's Degree in Asian Studies, learned to speak, read and write Chinese, established numerous businesses in Asia, and became a lawyer. He practiced international law, advised businesses on their global operations and strategies, lectured at local universities on Asian culture and business law, traveled frequently to Asia, and participated in seminars in Vietnam and China for business and government leaders. He is currently living in a secluded rural town veiled by the forests of Northern California, retired from his professional life, and is teaching classes in history, science, literature, government, economics, and psychology to gifted high school students while continuing his writing.
