Pariah  [Paperback]

Timothy Earl Goodwin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 12, 2004

Following a tragic accident, Eric Hawthorne is catapulted into a fantastic realm where time slides sideways and where a world of shadows determines the fate of mankind. This is a place where man and monsters, angels and demons, deities and demigods fight for supremacy--and where the fate of a newborn child can hang in the balance and decide the difference between restoration of the galaxy or its imprisonment forever. In this realm, Eric discovers that he is a clone, a Pariah that is a fail-safe contingency following a paradox matrix equation. In this equation it becomes necessary for Eric to be acquired to near-godhood status where he can be in two places at one time--find, confront, and defeat an alternate-self, a darker personae bent on world-domination, and stop a demigoddess, a collector of worlds, from wiping out the lineage that conceived the Pariah.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pariah - An Exciting Book!, November 9, 2004

This review is from: Pariah  (Paperback)

Timothy Goodwin's vibrant writing style brings to life "Pariah's" protagonist Eric Hawthorne, who grapples with bipolar disorder, employment woes and heart wrenching childhood memories. With a pleasing backdrop of passion and love, Eric manages to muddle through until, following a serious car accident, he finds himself in an exotic and vivid world, light years away from home. He is at once disturbed and awestruck as he faces the physical and mental challenges of forced assimilation. Goodwin's astounding imagination is reflected in the creation and machinations of this shocking world Eric fights to escape.

With poignancy and finesse, Goodwin conveys a refreshing worldview through Eric. He masterfully leads readers to yearn for the disenchanted Eric's success, as they would a loved one's. Goodwin is at his best as he shines a glaring spotlight on the disingenuous proselytizing of the overly pious. I highly recommend this enlightening book and the unparalleled journey that comes with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Read, October 24, 2004

This review is from: Pariah  (Paperback)

Eric Hawthorne has bipolar disease, it's hard for him to hold a job. Going to work at Storms Palafox Securitiese as a Security Guard wasn't what he really wanted but it would help pay the bills. What he really wanted was to be an author.
When Eric is involved in an auto accident, he is thrown into another world. Becoming someone else in this new realm, Eric must battle to survive to make it back to the love of his life.
Timothy Goodwin has created a wonderful book that will keep you on the edge of your chair until the last page. There are twist and turns that you don't expect at all. I highly recommend this book. I look forward to reading more of this author's work.

This review is from: Pariah  (Paperback)

Timothy Goodwin takes science-fiction and fantasy and melds them together perfectly in his novel "Pariah," the combination and congruity of the two genres as well as the blending of fantasy and reality makes for a sensational tale that will keep the reader turning pages! I recomend "Pariah" to any reader--not just those that read science-fiction and fantasy, but those who also read western and horror novels as well! You won't be dissapointed.
