5.0 out of 5 stars SONOMA QUADRANT, March 9, 2003

This review is from: Sonoma Quadrant (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

If you've read Mr. Foertmeyers first book THE CATS' LAIR, you will start reading SONOMA QUADRANT and feel like your
returning to old and great friends. Just a total feeling of "Ahhhhhhhh... I'm home again."

While on a three day trip out to the Sonoma Desert to look for gold, two brothers named Tom and John Fischer meet an old
prospector known as Griswald. He's got a story to tell the brothers and a sight for them to see! Both young men decide to add a
little adventure to their trip and humor the old guy. So they follow him out into the desert and end up in a strange town called
Melas, filled with even stranger events. For starters, you can't see the town or the inhabitants till you cross into it. Once there, you
can imagine anything you want and it appears. Or just visualize where you want to be and you are there. On top of all of this, the
citizens of the town have been living this way for hundreds and hundreds of years. Yet they don't age but a day for every hundred
that passes.

How did this place come to be and who are the beings that have set this place up? There is an evil working here and the
Guardians are trying to manipulate events to get Tom and John out of the Sonoma Quadrant.

I absolutely love this book! Mr. Foertmeyer has an excellent imagination and his characters are wonderfully written. The Guardians
are some of my very favorite personalities from any book I've read.
The mischief and side stepping that Malic does to get around the rules and get the help his Kinder needs is heartwarming. It's
even more touching to see that his superiors, Damon and Otheon, look the other way when he does it.

I can only hope that Mr. Foertmeyer has a need to write another book to follow this one. I could just keep reading and reading his
stories. He is truly an imaginative and exceptional talent. It would be a shame for anyone to miss out on this first rate author. Reviewed By Stacey Bucholz AllAboutMurder Reviews
