The SHIVA Syndrome Trilogy

By Alan Joshua

Beau Walker is a psychological researcher, the son of an Mohawk-African-American marriage, and far more than an ordinary human. In the hidden recesses of this mind, he holds the key to human evolution--and its obliteration. A disgraced researcher, Walker is snatched by the government and forced to join a U.S./Russian scientific team investigating a massive Russian disaster that may be related to U.S. mind and biowarfare.
From the team's terrifying descent into a mile deep Russian crater, he is thrown into a paranoid world of advanced biotechnology, biowarfare, paranormal research, and military intrigue. The risks are staggering: Find the cause of the mysterious annihilation of Podol'sk and 10,000 lives or face planet-wide human obliteration.
READERS' REVIEWS
Complex, Exciting, and Thrilling
This exciting sci-fi trilogy deals with subjects like psychology, biotechnology, spirituality, and more. I thought that the story was well-written and full of some very captivating plot twists. There is a lot of complexity in the series; it has a lot of interesting layers that all come together in unique and interesting ways, but I would definitely say make sure you are paying attention while reading or you might get lost and confused. This book is action-packed and explores some really thought-provoking subjects, making it both a thrilling read and fascinating book. I really appreciated having all three books in one so that I did not have to stop while consuming the entire story. There is a lot going on, and it is all very exciting. This book makes for an excellent read.

The SHIVA Syndrome Trilogy is a long and exciting thriller that contains three books in one. Dr. Walker, the protagonist has special powers. Born to an African American mother and Native American father, he is blessed (or cursed) with a higher sensibility. He can read people's intentions and their lives with a single touch and feels the intense pain of people many miles away. He possesses a deeply analytic and receptive mind and due to it gets involved in a high-secret mission. There are other gifted people in the team, but it is difficult to maintain the trust factor and know who is his alley and who an enemy. The story is filled with numerous revelations and contains many elements like paranormal and psychotic. There are many frightening pieces of stuff like drug-induced mind control of soldiers which in real-life could create havoc on the earth. The plot is a mixture of fantastical and realistic. It is brilliantly written and maintains the interest from the first page to the last.
Phenomena Magazine: "[This] is an absolute thrill ride of a book that is almost impossible to put down."

BOOK REVIEW JOURNALS
Kirkus Review: "an exuberant and involving read."
Portland Book Review: "having the right amount of adventure and romance, this crisscrossing genre tale isn't just a good read, but may also look great on a big screen."
Self-Publishing Review: "the book mixes uncommon palettes and manages a masterpiece with it. If The Andromeda Strain was analyzed in four dimensions, The SHIVA Syndrome might be the result."
Midwest Book Review: "highly recommended, indeed; especially for thriller and sci-fi readers who have become deluged with too much predictability and who seek cutting-edge action, believable protagonists, and action that is solidly intense throughout."
The San Francisco Book Review: "Science fiction fans will love The SHIVA Syndrome. Fans of paranormal fiction, psychological thriller, philosophy, and fantasy will love it, too."
