"I've really enjoyed the book. I'm not much into novels or sci fi :) but you've written a page-turner... it oughta be turned into a movie."

A so-called random review by Stephanie Goedecke on the publisher site says:

"I love this original, fun, thought-provoking, psychedelic, awesome book! It reminds me of Philip K. Dick ideas, but more positive. And it also includes interesting takes on our world today, and where it could go, and questions about what we are, and options we have. It began with a cool trip into a VR game, and then just kept turning corners. It is fun to read, and also an impressive work. I'm impressed."

"Fantastic exploration of some really deep topics weaved into a fun, intricate but accessible plot ... I loved it!! A web of insight into the failings of modern society and the paradigm shifts necessary to bring about a better version of humanity".

And then of course there's my harshest critic, the magical Nicole L. Maclean, who wrote:

"Celestine Prophecy cross sliding doors matrix style :)"

Synoposis:

Gary and Elle are out late, attempting to maintain their sense of youth. On their way back to the hotel after some drinking and dancing, they decide to stop at a game store to test out the latest virtual reality technology. Gary and Elle enter ‘Meet Your Master’ to have a little innocent fun, but it all goes wrong when Gary’s consciousness gets lost in the game.

As he navigates through various perspectives of people he doesn’t know, he becomes more and more confused about what is actually happening to him. Is he stuck in a game or lost in a dream? Or has he died back in the game shop?

Gary’s journey takes him through alternative pasts, presents, and futures. Some are fun, and others walk him to the edge of his sanity. Yet as challenging as the experience is for him, he soon realises he is learning, healing, and growing in incredible ways. But as he gets closer to finding out the ultimate truth, he is forced to confront who he really is and his entire conception of reality.
