I recommend this book to anyone who has read the first two in the series. It is a story that can stand alone as well, although to get the most out of the tale, you really should read "Key To the stars" and "Alliance of Serpents", volumes I and II of The Fourth Dimension.
One thing I especially loved about this particular installment in the series is the way that Kitreena ans Arus continue to develop their own particular talents, learning how to use their gifts to serve the greater good.
After you finish this book, you will be a bit sad because you will want more. At this time, September 2011, there isn't any more of The Fourth Dimensions stories to read.… (más)

In this futuristic Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel, the main characters that were written about in the first volume of the Fourth Dimension series, "Key To the Stars", continue to grow and change. Arus, Kitreena and Vultrel, three teenagers, learned more each day about themselves and their commitments, duties, abilities and each other. They all had many opportunities to choose which way they would turn and which side they would support. They handled incredibly difficult events sometimes well, and sometimes poorly. Each person's character grew more with each trial that came. They were, at times, going in seemingly opposing directions. I grew very concerned for Vultrel; he seemed to let his feelings control his actions, as we all do from time to time.
The teens are learning, for the most part, to decide in advance how they will react to situations when they come, to weigh the good and bad, and to consider the possible consequences of each action. The test comes to them all, more than once: do they follow through when the time actually comes to act? Do they make the best choices? Come and find out; after this book (volume II) there is another (Volume III, "Eye of the Tornado"!!… (más)

This was a most enjoyable book. Moral, but not preachy. Exciting, innovative, intriguing, but mostly, realistic in the way that events may have happened. The book is set many millennia in the future. I came to care very much what happened to these people. Most of them are humans, but there were a lot of other sentient beings, as well. They weren't silly. The way they were written, they seem almost viable!!
In addition, the book is clean. I mean that the language is suitable for children...but it is not a childish story. Far from it; it makes one think about how to live one's life to its full potential. I appreciate an author who goes the extra mile to exclude profanity from his/her writing. Believe me, a lot of times a cuss word will come to mind much quicker than a more precise, appropriate and descriptive word will.
When finished reading this work, I immediately moved my attentions from my beloved Kindle to my laptop so I could see if there was more from this author. There was! I purchased parts two and three, entitled "Alliance of Serpents" and "Eye of the Tornado".
I have since read both of those books. I was disappointed to find that the story is not yet concluded; I was also thrilled to learn that the story is not concluded...because I will get to read more about Arus, Kitreena, Damien, Kindle, Muert, and many others.
I emailed Mr. Domenic, telling him how much I enjoyed the Fourth Dimension series, and asked him if there would be more in the future. He said, "I'm glad you enjoyed it! Arus' adventures are just beginning!"
I can't wait. Neither should you wait to read this series!… (más)
