Journey From The Beyond

John’s novel specifically adapted for young readers

Journey from the Beyond is adapted from my first novel, In the Shadow of Babylon, and the story has been modified for younger readers. The narrative incorporates life lessons handed down over several thousand years. It is a fascinating myth about creating one’s own destiny through visualization... living in the present moment... controlling emotions... and eliminating grief and sadness.

The exploits of the main character Jahele is a marvelous hero story. After his family is murdered, his travels take him into the Beyond revealing experiences and unusual encounters in an ancient world we can hardly imagine today. The narrative pulls readers through the pages and the epoch-spanning thriller will excite young readers.

Reader reviews describe the novel as truly lyrical, vivid, and intelligently drawn. The plot is tightly structured, with seamless transitions and strong, solid scenes.
