Consider the worlds that would exist if all the theories about them were true. All the hippy, pseudo-nazi new-agisms like the ascension, 12-strand DNA, the photon belt and the three days of darkness... imagine that they're all for real, and not just an excuse to fill the shelves of those irritating shops that have crystals and those feather dreamcatcher things in the window and smell of cheap, over-priced incense. And imagine if those scrappy little pieces of quartz really did have all those properties? The implacable New Age... no matter how much common sense you throw at it, it just keeps coming...
Excerpt
ld believe. They see signs and wonders. The cargo lies forgotten in the hold.
Finally, after a long time, and several adventures that in normal circumstances would themselves be considered sufficiently unusual to warrant retelling, they arrive above a new land.
A brief history of Barker's Mill, and Reina makes plans for the weekend
A century ago, the hills across the harbor from Barker's Mill had been covered with forest. Giant trees, hundreds of years old, towered over dense confusions of bush. Then a new type of human arrived, different from the ones who had lived there before. The original inhabitants' small numbers and simple lifestyle had not lain heavily upon the land, unless you counted the extinction of a few species of large flightless birds that were good eating and easy to catch.
These new humans wore heavy clothing to protect themselves against the weather, and they wore boots on their feet. Their horses pulled carts through the mud o
There are some parts which feel sluggish, but overall a great book. The wrap-up was a little unsatisfactory, which makes one wonder if the author has a continuation in mind.
this was an excellent read. Elements of Moorecock, heinlein and barker.
deserves serious consideration for the avid si-fi reader. Hopefully will spawn some more installments in the story line. Also feel it has the makings of a pretty good screenplay
Thanks for the great writing David !
and just as Pig "was going to have a crap in the grass, then a roll in the mud", it finished.
great read hope to see more.
reminds me a lot of that triffids book which sticks in my mind from about 40years ago.
good read :)
A wonderful story. Very creative! I just couldn't put it down.
Good read overall. It was a bit hard to follow in the start, but I couldn't put it down after the first few chapters... I would give to a friend to read!
Book is page turner, the author keeps you wanting to know what is going to happen next. That said not my favoite type of sci fi, too many characters, Nazis, aliens, mutants all with different powers. Strange things just happen in middle of book with no foundation as he brings in different new groups of characters.
I can't believe that anyone who has downloaded and read this book has not hurried back here to write a review, and that this is the first one.
I have been reading SF since about 1970, when i was ten years old, having inherited a bookshelf of the greats - heinlein, herbert, azimov, bradbury, vonnegut, etc, when my family moved in to a new house. Since then i have devoured just about everything in most of the genres that have populated the print and electronic worlds as they have matured along with the realities of hard science. I have also been a fan of conspiracy lit, be it templar, illuminati, or of the xfiles sort. In the last year, as a result of having an iphone and discovering manybooks.net, i have started consuming more and more sf from the "unknowns" and "unsigned" which have been showing up with a greater frequency, and the fact of the matter is,
The Day of The Nefalim is one of the best SF novels i have read since i began reading.
Maybe that's just because all of what i have read until now provided the knowledge and context to appreciate the depth of David's work, which didn't allow me to put it down until i finished it. Strait through, in one sitting.
Yeah, that's right, i did not put the book down until i finished reading it. Couldn't.
Well done David. Keep writing. Can't wait to read your next book... You would make Robert Anton Wilson proud, and Douglas Adams smile.
