Book Description

August 1, 2004
Four families. One tunnel. And the survival of the country is at stake. Against the backdrop of serial terrorist attacks in New York City, psychic medium John Edward’s second novel follows the lives of four people and their diverse experiences with life and death on personal and global levels.

There’s the cantankerous Brooklyn police chief on the brink of retirement who lost his two sons in 9/11 and is assigned to the big case; the powerful Wall Street mogul who’s betrayed by his secretive family; the Long Island dad trying desperately to keep his cancer-ridden daughter alive following the death of his wife; and tying the trio together? A disillusioned psychic who abandons her self-imposed exile in Italy to come to the aid of her country and, acting as a spiritual sleuth, solves the eerily patterned crimes.

Drawing from his expertise in psychic phenomena, Edward spins a suspenseful, supernatural thriller that culminates in a midtown Manhattan tunnel where the lives and deaths of his characters converge. Reminiscent of the tragedy that is still fresh and deep in the hearts of Americans, these interwoven stories of love, faith, good, and evil answer the questions Edward is often asked by people all over the world: Do we choose the time when we die? Does everything happen for a reason? Do our loved ones guide us from the Other Side?

As with his previous New York Times bestselling novel, What If God Were the Sun?, this fictional narrative will strike an emotional chord with readers while sending a message of universal healing. And in the twilight moment of crossing over, the characters and the reader discover that the final end is really . . . the beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Favorite!, March 28, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Final Beginnings (Hardcover)
I was a little leery about purchasing this book after reading several of the "1 star" reviews here on Amazon.com - but since I've enjoyed all of his other books, I decided to go ahead and give it a try - and I am REALLY glad that I did!

I found this book to be both exciting and insightful - showing that John is an excellent writer, whether it be of fiction or non-fiction.

If you are at all interested in the topics of John's other books, I think you will thoroughly enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent First Novel, October 26, 2004
This review is from: Final Beginnings (Hardcover)
This mystery reminded me of some of the Tony Hillerman stories. That is, it's a mystery in its own right, but there is also a supernatural aspect that in innertwined with the story.

This story follows the lives of eight New Yorkers in a post 9/11 world. Their lives converge in a mid-town Manhattan tunnel bringing out love, faith, good and evil to answer the questions:

Does everything happen for a reason, and
Do our loved ones guide us from the Other side.

John Edward and Natasha Stoynoff have written together in the past but on New Age books. This is their first attempt at a novel, and it's a good one. I suspect that this is just the first of a series that will establish them among the well known practictioners of the art.
