Book Description

Publication Date: December 23, 2002

Late one evening in downtown Seattle, Mel Gray Eagle meets Jenny Mayor, a disarming and enthusiastic member of a bizarre new-millennium cult. Jenny introduces him to a handful of her colorful friends and he soon discovers shocking secrets about each one of them. Mel becomes involved in their wildly adventurous and fantastic plot that places him at the pivotal center of an extraterrestrial war that began before recorded history and promises the eventual enslavement of humanity, unless they can modify the future. Earth’s destiny is redefined through futuristic science, twists in time, spiritual revelation, earth-changes, magical wonders, nightmarish horror, terrifying events in late 1800’s Seattle, a magnificent machine that spans time and hyperspace, and the wisdom of an ancient Nez Perce hero.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absorbing read, March 4, 2004

This review is from: Descending Circles: Ascending Earth (Paperback)

JE Ellison has crafted a real page turner with DCAE. By taking current trends and spiritual concerns along with traditional SF ideas like alien invasion and putting them together he creates a rewarding blend of the unexpected. Full of detail and insight into the individual characters results in them being brought quite vividly to life. On reflection I would have to say that this is one of the more profoundly enjoyable books I have read in quite some time. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reading, November 15, 2003

This review is from: Descending Circles: Ascending Earth (Paperback)

This is a fascinating book which combines American Indian mythology and science fiction. Very reminiscent of Carlos Castaneda and early Piers Anthony.
It's full of complex plot twists and lots of detail, including deep descriptive sub stories. Especially interesting for me were the alien histories.
The writing is well done, with some interesting topical references which made the reading even more exciting.
I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Descending Circles: Ascending Earth (Paperback)

The book introduces several characters each having a very spiritual self. Almost any reader can see him/herself in one of the characters in the story.

The exciting story of the pending extraterrestrial war keeps readers eager to follow the story closely, while the author skillfully communicates his deep messages.

I strongly recommend Descending Circles: Ascending Earth to all readers.
