Upon recommendation by Mr. C, I ordered this book and read it.
It was captivating, and I understand now what Mr. C meant when he said in chat one night, we are the slan.
I was held by about page 15 and read through the 255 page book rather quickly, when I took the time to read. Towards the end it got a bit complicated when some things were revealed, and I may go back and read that section just because. And of course you are left with a cliffhanger!
The book was written in 1940 and is a futuristic view of the struggles between humans and evolved human species, internal and external. I really enjoyed it, especially considering I don't read much science fiction. And the book is intriguing bc who is to say this is not the path humans are on.. we already face some of the struggles that the book covers, internally and externally, because of our spiritual quests for knowledge and evolution yet struggling with societal construct, ideals, and pressures. I just wonder how the author came to these concepts in his book....
I highly recommend as it is an easy read and coming from a spirit keeping perspective and those who may be pursuing spiritual endeavors outside of mainstream society, this book falls under several genres of interest.
Next on the list is Slan Hunter. :thumbup:
Cheerz!

oh and forgot to mention earlier something that really intrigued me in this book was the way emotion was controlled, projected, dealt with in an evolved species.. empaths might also find it interesting, as if you are a person who has understood life for a long time from an "emotional" point of view the book offers a perspective or two from a different vantage point.

You intrigued me so much with what you wrote about the book, that I went online and read a synopsis of it..... then went to Amazon and ordered a copy. I can't believe I haven't read that yet. Thanks for the brain jolt.
I am ME.... and that is that!

Caiyros, thanks for suggesting this book, among others. and yknow, speaking of, something which Caiyros has brought to this board, for me at least, has been these continuous gems of names, books, lines, etc to pursue in a google search that lead to greater depth of information related to our paranormal paths. thank you for that mr. c. i feel often like here on CH i am exposed to so many different facets of spirituality, all the way from spirit keeping to ancient customs and beliefs to modern religious, cultural, and social practices.
