Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Against the background of the mythic interplay of spirit and matter, a group of people from various cultures cross paths of destiny, remembering past incarnations and learning to blend their karma with the "emerald river" that enlivens the natural world. Multiple voices are the vehicle for a mammoth chronicle of the spiritual history of the world by New Age author Kryder. Reminiscent of Piers Anthony's recent Isle of Woman (LJ 9/15/93), this first volume in a projected trilogy will appeal to Gaian enthusiasts and devotees of new mysticism.
