It was okay. The first part was a bit dragging. I do not understand most of the terms or concepts used. Answers will not be given in this book, there will be no closure given.

There is a great combination of good and bad in the book that balances out perfectly. It's never any fun when the good guy rules the day without any conflict, making him above everyone else to the utmost extreme. No one likes a villain who is just so evil, no one can ever stand up to him and there's no "save the day" moment. This book was a great middle ground.

There is a great combination of sic-fi and overly dramatic incidents to keep every type of reader entertained throughout the whole book. You'll learn about different countries, cultures, and even other dimensions. While you complete each chapter you are given another piece of the puzzle to the main plot. As I read the book, I never was certain on what was to come up next, or the outcome of any particular action. Marie Harbon keeps you questioning what direction the book is going to go with many twists and turns, keeping you on the edge of your seat.

What I really enjoyed was Marie Harbon's imagination for torture, fear, and all the dramatic issues that arise throughout the book. It's brilliantly written from a very creative and inventive mind.

Marie does a great job at summarizing the first book up, so you are somewhat caught up as you read the second book, but I do highly recommend you start with the first book in this series before reading this one.

The cover resembles the first book written by Ms. Harbon, so I was already pretty intrigued, and I'm sure the other readers out there can agree. I enjoyed reading this book with no spelling or grammar issues to be found, and applaud her great editor. I would rate this book a 5/5.

Well, well, well - now THIS is a tasty find for fans of metaphysics, mysticism, meditation, and all things SciFi. Build yourself a pyramid. Find a friend who can "tow" fellow travelers during meditation. Experiment with sound. Read between the lines. Sound familiar? Take one dose quantum physics, a little time travel, and toss gently with a bewitching five book saga. It's all I can do to hold myself back from reading the next in the series in one sitting - well done, highly recommended!

Seven Point Eight is a great science fiction book about mind control. It's written in first person narration with a combination of journal entries and current time narrative. The author takes you to many different time periods with a variety of characters in each one.

This isn't a book for you if you want a book to read to take your mind off of things. You need complete attention and focus to comprehend everything. If you skip ahead you'll be confused since you travel from one place to another so quickly.

The first characters you are introduced to are Ava and her sister. Both Ava and her sister see things differently, some might even call them hallucinations. Later you're introduced to Ava's cousin, Sam who see's dead people.

Then suddenly you will be taken back in time. You meet Max, Tahra, and Paul who are involved in a project, that studies their consciousness projecting to another area of the world.

Max is a womanizer who you would never expect to be monogamous in a relationship. He gets around with many different woman, sometimes just because Tahra won't give it up to him. He even goes to the extent of asking her hand in marriage, but she still refuses. Tahra is also pursued by Max, who is twenty years older than her, but treats her better. Another complication to being with Max, is he's already in a relationship with someone else.

It sure does seem like the author went through a lot of research to be able to write a book about space and science. It's amazing how she integrates both into a series of novels. Reading through you'll find she invokes you to question deeper meanings to life. I do have to admit, I didn't need as many lectures in science and physics. What I didn't know, I ended up looking up. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing since it took my attention away from reading the book.

Ms. Harbon has a way with words that puts all your questions into words that can be vocalized and understood. You can understand her perfectly and she clearly has a great talent for writing science fiction novels. She definitely makes me crave more from this story line and I cannot wait until I start the next book.
