True Self, July 31, 2008
This review is from: DRIFTERS: THE FINAL TESTAMENT (Paperback)
The Drifters by Michael Silverhawk peels the magnificently complicated layers of an epic story of "what if." In the grandest fashion of love and war, truth and justice, the power of knowledge with the intensity of focus, and the potential to learn the vast capabilities available, man's unshakable ability to amaze himself becomes evident. Told through the eyes of a hero, a warrior of light, we move from a modern day dilemma of right and wrong involving the fate of humanity into a futuristic landscape where each must claim the gifts of divine power as a true inheritance of human beings. To use the Golden Rule, man must recognize that true civilization exists when one has individual control over behavior with conscience as a guide, surpassing the restraints of socialization where the masses or government control conduct of the individual.
Silverhawk's fantastic adventure dazzles us with the splendor of a spiritual text transformed into a dynamic action work. Drifters are beings who move into lives and incarnations during their sleep periods, spanning lifetimes in other realms, with the purpose of guiding presences and societies there toward growth and evolution. As these heroic characters fight for the survival of all those who practice in the light, we learn that the paradox of God is that winning may not always seem so. In this intriguing and engaging piece of fast-paced drama, these questions reach out, spanning the time-space continuum: "what is enlightenment?" and "Who is the 'I am" who observes the mind, ego, feelings, and personality?"
Through the expansive teachings of Michael Silverhawk, we glean the connection to God with yin and yang, angels who never incarnate but aid humans, the masterful alpha and omega entity, and the final awareness that God will help those who do their best. When man masters himself he becomes his own sovereign republic where freedom is wrought with responsibilities. Lifetimes encompass emotional links to the Grand Matrix, and battles which present internally as well as with exterior manifestation. Each of our lives matters as we grow through the kaleidoscope of experiences. Our souls linked to the All that Is should fully engage as we observe and identify choices, knowing that each of us creates the color of destiny. The resolution states our surprise when we discover that the inquiry is not "why me, " but "why not me?" The Drifters presents a marvelous text of new age insight couched within the delightfully enjoyable framework of science fiction.

Midwest Book Review, April 7, 2004
This review is from: DRIFTERS: THE FINAL TESTAMENT (Paperback)
This first in the Drifters trilogy is a bellwether novel, blending sci fi and the spiritual in a way I found to be quite unexpected. It's definitely not a Left Behind Series clone, and both story and writing are fresh and exhilarating. Jonathan Ladd, USN Retired, is about to embark on the mother of all missions. His life as a black ops specialist has left him jaded and cynical. Everywhere he looks is corruption, hopelessness, and desapir. A few powerful men with deep pockets have developed technology that will wipe out most of mankind instead of creating the needed healing and renaissance. His long time friendship with Max Draco has been ripped to shreds by an unthinkable abomination. Only his love for Johanna Starling eases Jonathan, and even that blessing is tenuous. Then, through a mysterious discovery from ancient times, Jonathan discovers the answers to questions that have haunted mankind since time began. He is unexpectedly propelled into a future world of time travel and telepathy, to Earth as God intended it to be. Seas are radiant with life. Earth itself is pristine, with oxygen rich air and pure, sweet water. To the battle weary Jonathan, all is primordial perfection. Earth's inhabitants are loving and compassionate. He sees wonders beyond human comprehension, learns awe inspiring secrets from the past. And finally the hardened warrior from Earth's sullied past becomes the savior of his world, destined to encounter evil personified. Michael Silverhawk has spent a lifetime searching for the face of God. Our human history has wandered far afield of God's plan for His world. Life as we know it has become skewed and manipulated for nefarious reasons. The U.S. especially has veered off the path intended by her founders. Drifters shows us both sides of the coin - what was, is, and could be again with love and compassion as the key. The key that unlocks human potential is hidden within the Drifters trilogy. I recommend you hitch a ride on this adventure. Volume One is just the beginning.
