Psychic Warrior: Another GOOD book from Robert Doherty (a.k.a. Bob Mayer). Bob keeps true to his fast paced action packed stories. I have read all of his books and this is definitely one of his better ones with a very intriguing story line. With all of the hype of Remote Viewing these days and the 95% of the Original Stargate program still classified - it makes one wonder what the Government is REALLY capable of. After all, the Government pumps BILLIONS of dollars into programs like these every year. Anyway, I recommend all of Bob Mayers books under all of his Aliases; Joe Dalton, Bob McGuire, Greg Donegan, Robert Doherty and of course Bob Mayer.

Loved the action. Loved the concept. This book made me think a lot about what might have already been done in this field. The author says it's based on a real program-- how real I want to know?

First of all, let me state for the record that I generally love any and all of Robert Doherty's works. I've read all of the Area 51 books and found them to be imaginative and believable enough to appear to be somewhat based in fact.

Sadly, I didn't find much to make "Psychic Warrior" a book I would recommend to Doherty's fans.

While the style of writing was Doherty's usual clear and consise manner, "Psychic Warrior" was dragged down by TOO MUCH information and not enough story! Doherty decided to spend the bulk of his story decribing how the psychic warriors were chosen, trained, and deployed and not enough time developing the plot. Doherty did a good job researching and creating the concept (in this case, soldiers who can use their minds to wage war), but the plot borders too much on the fantastic.

Here's hoping that the sequel to "Psychic Warrior" takes off early with a great plot and saves this series!

I'm not sure whether this book is a thriller or science fiction. Actually it's the best of both. Fast paced with some intriguing angles, especially the part about the bicameral mind. Some good info to think about. Read this if you like a fun story that moves quickly.

The series Area 51 is good. Psychic Warrior is even better. The characters are quite good along with a high energy plot.

I really enjoy Mr. Doherty's Area 51 stories so I tried this storyline. He creates some good characters and situations. I can lose myself in his books and just enjoy the story. I hope he writes a could more since I am into this character.

I have really enjoyed reading this book and much as I have the Area 51 Series. Why aren't there more on the Psychic Warrior?
Please write more on this subject too!

Sergeant Major Jimmy Dalton has been with the military during the bad (Viet Nam War), the Good (Reagan and Bush I administrations), and the ugly (Carter). Over the years, he has fought heated battles and psychic wars. However, he has just faced his most difficult combat ever in the mountains of Colorado: saying goodbye to his now deceased beloved wife.

Dalton realizes he has no time to really mourn because his country needs him once again. The psychic warrior learns he must battle on a virtual plane the deadly Priory. This group of psychics has combined forces with their goal being a world oligopoly controlled by them. Only Dalton and his team stand in their way, but his side has a mole ready to sell them out to the enemy.

PSYCHIC WARRIOR: PROJECT AURA, the sequel to PSYCHIC WARRIOR, is an exciting military science fiction thriller that takes war onto a totally different plane. The story line is exciting as the virtual war heats up around the globe and governments are as criminal and cold as the cabal is. However, with the exception of Dalton and his memories of his wife, the rest of the cast, especially the Priory members, seems more like Manga cartoon characters so readers could not care less what happens to them. Fans who enjoy an in your face (mind) action packed thriller will welcome Robert Doherty's terrific tale.

This was an interesting book about psychic warfare where entities can literally jump just about anywhere and do just about anything. The Russians against the Americans is always a juicy read for me because I love action/adventure books, but this one left me a little flat for some reason. The storyline was good and the characters somewhat interesting, but something was lacking that I just can't put my finger on. The action scenes were o.k, but coming from a former Green Beret, I would have thought them better executed. No pun intended. Overall though it was a decent read.

This book was as good as any other sci-fi, fantasy, or cyberpunk book currently on the market, such as "Childhood's End", "Foundation", "Ringworld", "Eragon", "Prey", "Neuromancer","Virtual Light", "Altered Carbon", "Darkeye: Cyber Hunter", and so forth. I highly recommend it, just as I would any of these other books or anything remotely related to sci-fi, fantasy, and cyberpunk.
