Editorial Reviews

Review

In a future defined by a series of giant quakes that brought new lands up from the bottom of the sea, humans have discovered the powers of both mind and spirit. An android type known as the Black Guard, created to protect humans from danger, develops its own independence and a hatred of its former human charges. Young Cole Lazerman may hold the key to resolving the approaching war for the world, provided he can attain his full destiny. The co-creator of the Quantum Leap TV show has launched her own visionary sf series featuring a hero with a tragic past and a complex and uncertain future. Combining high-tech sf with New Age philosophy and mysticism, this series opener should appeal to fans of sf adventure with a metaphysical underpinning. For large collections. --Library Journal

Thank you Deborah Pratt for creating something to fill the VOID (fellow readers of TVQ will know the pun is thoroughly intended) in the realm of spiritual scifi. Can't wait for book two. Highest recommendation!

Ok, so I don't normally read science fiction, but a friend suggested I pick this one up and I am very glad I did. The story was solid with very believable characters and a very conceivable plot for a sci-fi series. I enjoyed the authors writing style and can not wait to read the other books in the series...actually, I have read the second one and will be posting a review on that one as well.

Very good job Deborah Pratt

5.0 out of 5 stars THE FUTURE IS NOW..., September 29, 2008

The future is indeed now, and it is here in, THE VISION QUEST:BOOK ONE! What a terrific blend of the familiar, the scientifically probable, and the glimpse of what could be. This is a wonderfully crafted story, with fully developed characters that we can root for. And, as in life, it has the sharp sting of unexpected loss.

Good literature is the time machine we all like to ride, and, THE VISION QUEST, sends us on a journey to an era that is well worth visiting.

I thought that my addictions were all behind me until I read, BOOK ONE. I am now hooked, and look with great anticipation to my next dose with, BOOK TWO-THE ODYSSEY.
