Good fictional story while putting forth sacred concepts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book was one that I didn't want to put down - the storyline itself was fun and thrilling, but the sacred truths and concepts that Chris Fenwick weaved into the story were what had me so interested in getting to the next "key" or sacred truth that leads human consciousness into an elevated state and one of peace and love. It is a timely and a necessary read in the hopes that we each individually have the power to help change the self destructive course we all appear to be heading toward.
Great and engaging, had me up all night reading it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced, adventurous and thoughtful novel from beginning to end. I particularly enjoyed the mixture of modern humanistic mysticism and anthropology. After reading the first few chapters I was taken back to my college days as an anthropology minor and was reminded of the joys and insights I gained from exploring other cultures. I really appreciate when any book takes a look at this subject matter and this one does so with such style and with a message that everyone needs to hear. As a Unitarian Universalist, I found the book to personify my beleifs beautifully, whether this was accidental or intentional. Read this book and learn something along with enjoying a well written adventure story. Huzzah!!
A Great, thought provoking read...

This book, while different in plot, reminded me of the consciousness in charater, similar to that of Celestine Prophecy, and the thought provoking mystery of the DaVinci Code. I enjoyed the characters and their evolution (and healing)...I LOVED the possiblities this book embraces and - to some - introduces. I really enjoyed the psychology and spirituality and the many paths that are explored. I want to be party to and a part of the 100th human. Let's put on our party hats and rise to the next level! (P.S. - Good job Chris!)
Picked me up off my feet and I will never stand the same.

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. Chris Fenwick does a wonderful job of combining a fantastic plot (with great characters), amazing ideas, and intriguing facts. The book is a very quick read in the sense that once you pick it up you will not want to put it down. The story continually keeps your attention with hair raising suspense while at the same time grounding some essential points home. She intelligently bring together different ideas such as "the 100th monkey" and the end of the Mayan calendar (which is the basis of the book). The fiction is extremely well written and I can honestly say as a reader this will not go back on the book shelf, only because I plan on re-reading it very soon. I would recommed this book to everyone.
