BLURB:
Seven Point Eight:
'The Truth Will Set You Free'
In the second installment of the Seven Point Eight series, the legacy
of the OOBE project weighs heavily on the conscience of Dr Paul Eldridge. Tahra
Mamoun needs to muster all her courage and venture back into the alternate
dimensions of reality. Through a series of challenging, surreal and frightening
experiences, she comes to comprehend the destructive power she can yield and
must face her own demons in the process.
Paul continues his quest to understand the ancient knowledge of the
cosmos, while dark forces seek to hijack his research to further a secret
agenda. With their lives in jeopardy, Paul and Tahra confront their enemies
against an international backdrop featuring the pyramids of Giza and the peaks
of Switzerland.
Meanwhile, Sam and Ava endeavour to uncover their past, even though it
may irrevocably change their lives.
In a tale of courage and tragedy, love and betrayal, their lives are
interwoven around the demons of one man, Max Richardson, who'll stop at nothing
to achieve his objectives.
Written in the style of a TV series, Seven Point Eight draws together
quantum physics, psychic powers, alternate dimensions, time travel, past lives,
ancient wisdom and conspiracy in a soap opera for the soul.
It’s the ideal read for lovers of sci-fi, contemporary fantasy,
paranormal, metaphysics, ‘Lost’, ‘Fringe’, ‘Touch’, and Dan Brown books.
Excerpt:
“We’re looking for a human
woman,” I said. “Have you seen her?”
He rose up on his back
legs, revealing his full height of around seven feet. Eventually, after he’d scrutinised us, he
gave us an answer.
“She resides in the
labyrinth.”
“The labyrinth?” I couldn’t
recall seeing or hearing of one previously. “Where’s that?”
The jaguar man pointed and
I followed his clawed finger, which aimed at the outcrop of rock. We focused
our consciousnesses on that area and glided over to it in an instant. The
outcrop reminded me of the pictures I’d seen of Ayers Rock in Australia, it had a peculiar
vibration about it though. I saw a single opening in it, which was more of a
large fissure and I glanced over to Tahra, my expression indicating she should
follow.
“Let’s do it,” she agreed.
After we stepped inside, we
found ourselves in a passageway the same shape as the fissure opening. The
walls teemed with those shimmering, silvery ants we’d seen previously; for some
strange reason, they ran in spirals. Pushing onwards, we crept down the long
and winding passageway, descending slowly, aware of a point of illumination at
the end of the tunnel.
Once we’d reached that
point, the passageway opened out completely. We now found ourselves looking out
over a massive cavern, which stretched out as far as the eye could see. The
floor of it ascended and descended in an undulating pattern, with walls and
tunnels that suggested someone had created a maze. However, the piece de
resistance above us overshadowed this engineering. Looking up, my jaw must have
dropped.
“Wow.”
Tahra followed my gaze and
her face lit up with wonder. The ceiling was actually a gaping hole, suggesting
the cavern might actually be a volcano, like the criminal mastermind’s lair in
the recent James Bond movie, ‘You Only Live Twice’.
Through this hole I saw the
whole universe, and by that, I don’t just mean a sky full of stars. Spiral arm
galaxies, vast gaseous nebulae and three nearby moons existed side by side,
filling my vision with cosmic wonder. I lost interest in the maze for a long
moment, until Tahra nudged me. Someone had come to greet us.
“He’s a minotaur,” Tahra
whispered.
He towered above us,
tallness apparently common in this dimension. Come to think of it, our ibis
headed friend didn’t lack height either. The minotaur’s hairy body was muscular
like a rugby player, and his bull head gave the impression he wouldn’t tolerate
any nonsense.
“Greetings, travellers.”
He spoke with such
authority that I almost bowed, and I answered him respectfully.
“We seek our friend, a
fellow traveller who became lost here.”
His deep voice resonated
again throughout the cavern.
“You must successfully
navigate the labyrinth to find your friend. When you achieve this, you will
find the answers to your questions as a reward. Take care to navigate
correctly, for some sections are perilous with obstacles that seek to deter you
from your goal.”
He stepped aside, implying
we move forward and then he disappeared back down into the labyrinth.
“I’d like to point out
something I’ve learned on my travels,” Tahra said. “Our energy bodies don’t
obey the laws of physics in other dimensions.”
“Hmmm. Wonder if that also
means the labyrinth doesn’t either.”
