PRAISE FOR EINSTEIN’S COMPASS:
“This is an amazing story. Everyone should thoroughly enjoy reading it. I was impressed with how the authors managed to incorporate the known information on the lost continent of Atlantis, Light Workers, souls, reincarnation, time travel and the early years of Albert Einstein before he became famous, into a mesmerizing work of fiction readers will have difficulty putting down.
–Doug Simpson, Author of We Lived in Atlantis
“I could not stop reading this book. I read at stop lights and in line at the grocery store. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.” –— award winning children’s author, Lisa Reinicke
This is highly recommended for those who enjoy a saga of good vs. evil that spans tens of thousands of years, for readers who devour novels that blend history and fantasy, and for anyone who is simply looking for a unique story that they will not want to put down.
— Author Jacqui Murray, Ask a Tech Teacher blog
The weaving of the story between the religion realm and Albert’s world is a captivating tale that keeps the reader’s attention. The good and evil of the timeless religious realm is like watch a chess match to see who outwits whom … I hope there is a next book somewhere in my future.
–- Rox Burkey, author of the Enigma Series
Einstein’s Compass is a swirling, complex, and intriguing world of mystery, greed, and love. As we all know, love comes in many forms, and young Albert Einstein is blessed with the true and lasting love of friendship that transcends both time and space.
The overall story is filled with many interesting events and characters that populate this elaborate, fictional life of Albert Einstein as a child and young man. Are we simply souls gathering experiences as we occupy earthly bodies throughout time? Are some souls destined for greatness, knowledge, and altruistic ingenuity? Are others so greedy that they manifest their evil over thousands of years, waiting for the perfect moment to strike down their perceived enemy and steal their power?
All these questions and more are waiting for you in this composite world of science, religion, mystical ideas, time travel, soul transcendence, and above all else, love. On the surface, Einstein’s Compass is an entertaining what-if journey of how Albert Einstein thwarted his evil and greedy enemies and fulfilled his destiny of unlocking the theory of relativity. But go a bit deeper, and you will find yourself mired in a complicated web of lives crisscrossing time, space, and beliefs. But don’t be alarmed by the scientific and religious jargon/discussions because the story is quite fascinating in its delivery of that simple yet powerful age-old lesson of good versus evil.
A main takeaway is the idea of going beyond mere vision to see the true selves of others, both good and bad. That idea plays out beautifully in this book through Raka, the ultimate antagonist and dragon in sheep’s clothing. A shapeshifter is the ultimate deceiver because the chosen form can be someone who is friendly or familiar. Why is Raka so interested in Albert Einstein? How can Albert protect himself from such evil? What does a compass have to do with anything? Read Einstein’s Compass to find out. You won’t be disappointed, especially with that ultimate showdown and that final touching scene that is really only the beginning.
A word of caution as this is labeled as a young adult fiction: the overall topic of mystical travelers and such can be quite complex and requires full concentration and attention, but the reward is great because the story is packed with gripping tension and danger as well. Additionally, some scenes are quite gruesome and violent, but these aspects show the true nature and extent of evil. While difficult to read, they add a level of realism and definitely round out the story.
On a separate note, a bit more editing would not be amiss, but the plot is captivating and thought provoking enough to keep the story moving along at a brisk pace, without those grammatical bumps getting too much in the way.
Sit back and have fun discovering and contemplating this unique, alternate view of such a well-known person in our history who was nothing short of brilliant.
