Seven Point Eight:

'The Truth Will Set You Free'

In the second instalment of the Seven Point Eight series, the legacy of the OOBE project weighs heavily on the conscience of Dr Paul Eldridge. Tahra Mamoun needs to muster all her courage and venture back into the alternate dimensions of reality. Through a series of challenging, surreal and frightening experiences, she comes to comprehend the destructive power she can yield and must face her own demons in the process.

Paul continues his quest to understand the ancient knowledge of the cosmos, while dark forces seek to hijack his research to further a secret agenda. With their lives in jeopardy, Paul and Tahra confront their enemies against an international backdrop featuring the pyramids of Giza and the peaks of Switzerland.

Meanwhile, Sam and Ava endeavour to uncover their past, even though it may irrevocably change their lives.

In a tale of courage and tragedy, love and betrayal, their lives are interwoven around the demons of one man, Max Richardson, who'll stop at nothing to achieve his objectives.

Written in the style of a TV series, Seven Point Eight draws together quantum physics, psychic powers, alternate dimensions, time travel, past lives, ancient wisdom and conspiracy in a soap opera for the soul.

It’s the ideal read for lovers of sci-fi, contemporary fantasy, paranormal, metaphysics, ‘Lost’, ‘Fringe’, ‘Touch’, and Dan Brown books.

                                 




 my thoughts

I loved the first book, the second is even better!  If you haven't read the first- it's ok.  Marie does a great job of recapping the OOBE project.  You will be introduced to Paul, Tahra, Max, Sam and Ava.

12 volunteers are trapped in an inter dimensional space.  Tahra must return (spirt only- no body) to each realm to retrieve each of the volunteers of OOBE.  Let me tell you, some of these dimensions are doozies.  Marie has a very active imagination.  Poor Emilie- yikes!  You'll understand when you read the book.

Sam and Ava have a story to tell.  I found myself drawn to these characters more than any other.

This is an amazing, well written sci fi novel that is soon to be a classic.  You will 'love' to 'hate' Max, he's the main villain.   

This is a very long book, but it's so good, you don't realize the length while you're reading.  I was so engrossed with the characters and the storyline, I couldn't put it down.
