Summary

The coauthor of Beowulf’s Children strikes out on his own with this novel of mystic revelation and martial arts.

What if the disciplines we know as the martial arts, meditation, and fasting were mere fragments of a greater, more powerful killing art?

What if that hidden discipline could produce in a man the power to manipulate matter and energy at will?

What if the effect on the mind were so deadly that, uncontrolled, the result would be an inhuman killer?

And what if, unknowingly, a young man in modern-day Los Angeles were to stumble onto the secret, setting in motion The Kundalini Equation?

Critic reviews

“Barnes gives us characters that are vividly real people, conceived with insight and portrayed with compassion and rare skill - and then he stokes the suspense up to levels that will make the reader miss sleep and be late for work.” (Tim Powers, World Fantasy Award-winning author)

Lasted 43 minutes before giving up !

I know it's free and I shouldn't really bother writing this review but after reading the back page/blurb I thought "excellent, this is right up my street" i.e the kind of book I would like. Things got off to a good start....unfortunately
The more I listened the more I noticed just how weak the writing was, whole passages of text that contradicts itself entirely. For example "he felt no pain. No pain, except the burning flame inside him" or "there was a silence, and the lone call of an owl sounding as loud as a drum". Is there a goddam silence or not? "does he feel any pain"? NO? "What about the flame burning deep within him"? Not to mention the over-use of similes and metaphors that use five sentences where one would do.
Ok, it's free. Still, don't waste your time on it. peace.
