ON A BEAM OF LIGHT is Gene Brewer's brilliant sequel to K-PAX, the novel in which a man called 'prot' (rhyming with goat) claims he is a perfect being from the planet K-PAX - an idyllic world without wars, government or religion. At the Manhattan Institute his psychiatrist is determined to prove that prot's identity is nothing more than a tragic case of multiple-personality disorder. But when people begin to notice prot's peculiar characteristics, many of them start to doubt the diagnosis. ON A BEAM OF LIGHT is the tale of prot's return to earth and his plan to take some beings back with him, the next time he goes home. For Dr. Brewer, as well as for the patients who are desperate to win his favour in the hope that they might be chosen, it is a race against time, for this visit prot claims, will be his last. Reminiscent of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, it is a hilarious, touching and wonderful story.

5.0 out of 5 stars
keeping it suspenseful,
By whatshisface (PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: K-Pax II (Paperback)
the story progresses like the first book. You wonder if prot is just part of of robin's repressed mind, or a real alien who has taken possession of him.prot reminds me of Mork from Ork. he is a bit arrogant and lacks tact yet says things that really ring true, especially when he's giving his opinion on the human race. i was late getting back from breaks at work because of this book -so beware. i can't wait for the last book in the trilogy to arrive in the mail.
