Illusions
About
Jack Harrow thinks he is investigating psychics and spirit mediums. A Bavarian professor hired him to research a new book. But Jack soon discovers a whole new world. He learns there is a different species of human living among us. Professor Kruger calls them Homo Sapiens Obscurus. They are like us, but special powers set them apart. They have the gift of illusion, using a form of hypnosis to change their own appearance. They can look like angels, demons, or monsters. Or they can resemble your friendly mailman, or your boss. They can go anywhere and do anything. Now the professor wants to publish a book about them. That could be dangerous. When the Others learn of his plans, they strike back.
Praise for this book
The author leads us through the real and maybe not-so-real streets of early 20th century San Francisco, as well as the confusing pathways of the western deserts. The reader is challenged by threatening upheavals in history and prehistory. Can we believe what we see, or what we hear? The secrets in this tale reveal themselves slowly. Tension is gripping. Illusions are seductive.
Another good read by Steve Bartholomew
just purchased this and will update on reading which will be very soon…but I needed to counter the previous review. I bought this because the cover was evocative and caught my eye. Has the feel of the era and the subject. The review told me it was worth reading, but I bought it because the cover drew me. Couldn’t let that slide! It sounds most intriguing and will be jumping in soon. Will edit to add at that time!!
