The Cosmic Ape: The SHIVA Syndrome Trilogy (Book 2) by Alan Joshua continues the story of powers of the mind. It is best if you read book one first. The books build on each other. In this one, there is another person now that they are continuing the tests with, a woman. It is the same tests that they were doing when they had the explosion in Russia. More information is coming out about what happened and what is being hidden. More psychic gifts are shown. This book is just so cool because it mixes with science, the what ifs, and the power of the mind going beyond- doing things physically, only things we thought nature could do, and paranormal. It combines science and mysticism or paranormal science. So awesome! My kind of sci-fi. Lots of action, intrigue, corrupt governments, and mysteries.… (más)

The Mind of Stefan Durr: The Shiva Syndrome Trilogy by Alan Joshua is book one of this great series. I love this series. It is about the power of the mind, research, and science, how the mind can go beyond what we ever imagined. Researching in a remote location, something goes wrong and then BOOM! Not only is the research facility gone but miles all around it gone also, and more! The blast does more than that...let's talk time dimensions, the pull on the moon, etc. This is so exciting. The power of the mind to go beyond ... and, to the paranormal dimensions too. LOVE this!… (más)

The Shiva Syndrome is in the top 10 books of the best sci-fi/fantasy books I have read in over 40 years and I read over 200 books a year! It has everything I love in a sci-fi and fantasy in one book and makes it flow seamlessly and naturally. The books has empaths, ESP, black holes, black op government cover-ups - generic engineering, teleporting, telekinesis, time travel, out of body travel, inter-dimensional travel, parallel universes, and so much more yet it is written is such a way that all seems plausible and believable. Very scientific, very mystic, very action packed, edge of your seat, who is who, and who is WHAT action. This is a book for any sci-fi fan! I hope a director like Steven Spielberg , James Cameron, or any other great sci-fi director will read this book because this is worthy of a movie! The plot is full of surprises and fast moving with lots of twists and turns. The characters are well developed and complex. There is no putting this book in a certain category, it stands by itself. It is thought provoking and intriguing. Don't miss out. I reviewed this book for NetGalley and I am so glad I had the chance or I might not have picked it up, don't miss out!… (más)
