5.0 out of 5 stars Evil Seed: A Retrospective, April 25, 2002
By 
This review is from: Evil Seed (Paperback)
Author McGovern-Bowen speaks to us in many dimensions...from the heart and from excitement of adventure, brought about by a well-written, cliff-hanging story, keeping us on the edge of our seats and a much deeper level of "purpose".

The multi-dimension of the author speaks to the many levels of interest and entertainment I thoroughly relate to and enjoy.

I read all the way up to the last 16 pages and put it down for a week and a half...the thought of this adventure and "feel good", meaning-of-life book ending was so disappointing to me...finally, I read the last pages and with regret, it's over; hopefully, not for long.

But, is it over? No, it's the beginning for many and the affirmation for others, like myself, who never tire of hearing the "story"...the "meaning of life" ...our "reawkening" ...our "mission".

McGovern-Bowen offers the wonderful blend of deep meaning and purpose with excitement and adventure. The first time I visited the Vatican, being the recovering Catholic that I am, I was overwhelmed with it all...I went into overload...I was imposing art over the deep religious experience...I then began to appreciate the experience on both levels and when I did I felt I received the absoulte "most" of what was the message. McGovern-Bowen gave me truly a similiar juxtaposition.

Oh, in the prologue I wondered if the...words and vocabulary would ever end and make a point...but, it didn't take long for it to have meaning.

One can't help but wonder if this advanced soul (meaning the author) was but "guided" throughout the book...the depth, the purity of thought, word and deed as it relates to the meaning of life..."love"... runs through so loud and clear.

Regardless, the blend of entertainment and reality (as I see reality) is perfect...well-balanced. A message was clearly delivered here...for one to miss it is a shame and yet, how could one fail to miss the message..."right human relations" and "love" is... all there is, according to my beliefs and echoed by some dear friends of mine.

And, speaking of these dear friends...they (The Pleadians) wish to humbly offer to C.G. McGovern-Bowen their offer to collaborate with her in the continum of "the message"...yes, another book.

I wish to express my gratitude to the author for this book and her convictions and "guts" to deliver her message...it's provided meaning and purpose for us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evil seed: a must-read sci-fi adventure, January 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Evil Seed (Paperback)
This exciting sci-fi adventure is premised on the notion that the accumulation of negative energy generated by self-serving human endeavors, eventusally prompts Gaia, the earth personified as a goddess, to finally act. She seeks to destroy the human infestation on earth in order to save herself. Through Carlin, a major character in Evil Seed, her close friends and other spiritual supporters, Gaia wages a surreal battle with the Evil One, Rypan, a psychic vampire who feeds on human-generated negative energy. This epic struggle is replete with ritual cleansing ceremonies, and telepathic visualizations that grip the reader in an exciting journey, while infusing in the reader a spirit of awe and need for action to change the course of human destruction. This fantastic tale is required reading for those who care about the planet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gaia vs the Human Race, who will survive?, September 3, 2002
This review is from: Evil Seed (Paperback)
A frantic phone call from close friends, puts Carlin Thornton-Kramer on the first step to an adventure of a lifetime. Two strange statues have been discovered at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, one three foot tall, the other a smaller replica. The statues exert strange influences over all who come into contact with them, including Carlin. Already showing signs of psychic ability, her powers increase when anywhere near the statue.

But what is it? Where is it from and how did it get here? For the place where the statue is discovered, predates human occupation of that section of land. Carlin starts getting disturbing visions, war, terror and bloodshed, visions that seem to be of the future. But how can it be stopped?

It seems that the cosmos is home to a psychic vampire, who feeds on negative energy from humans and lately, there has been a lot of it about, and things are going to get much worse:

For Gaia, Mother Earth herself, wants to wipe out the human race...

This is a sweeping adventure of a book, taking the reader on a fantastic journey from the US, India, Africa and the cosmos itself. The descriptions are breathtaking with a wealth of well drawn characters, feisty heroines, murderous villains, all entwined in a story of adventure and romance.

It deals with a lot of things, reincarnation, predestiny, psychic abilities, but all flow well within the central storyline. My only complaint is that sometimes the dialogue comes across as a bit stilted and unrealistic and anytime the British characters spoke, it was like a cliche. Things like, "My good man," and "Old chap."

Living in England, I have yet to hear anyone actually say that!

It's an epic tale, so make sure to leave some time to savour it.

A good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could not put this one down!, January 24, 2002

Evil Seed
A New Novel By:
C.G.McGovern-Bowen

Wow! What a roller coaster ride this book takes you on! This one has it all: action, suspense, adventure and romance, in one intelligent, engaging story. It is the equivalent to an "E ticket" ride at Disneyland. Turn off the television and unplug the phone, you will not want to be interrupted. I could not wait to see what would happen on the next page. And I warn you not to skip any pages or paragraphs, you might miss the action-yes, it happens that quickly!
This eclectic group of friends and otherworldly allies sets out to help save Mother Earth and humanity during a whirlwind global journey that begins in North Rim, Grand Canyon and ends in East Africa's "Mountains of the Moon." Make friends with Carlin, Aife, and Boadicea. Meet the love of two lifetimes in Rama-every woman's dream come true. Stare into the face of evil in Rypan, the psychic vampire from the cosmos bent on devouring humanity and destroying the planet, he will make your skin crawl. Listen to and learn from the wise ones who gather to aid Carlin and company, in their fast paced quest to save humanity. Is there a sequel in the works?
