Overpass is the story of a man who finds himself in the middle of a battle on earth between good and evil. What first seems to be a sudden storm, turns out to be a portal for the arrival of the harbingers of evil. I thought that this was an interesting twist on an often explored subject. However, this was the of interesting part of this short story for me. What I alwaysove about short stories is how effective they are at making you think with just a few short pages. Overpass really just wasn't compelling, and the ending was rather mundane and left me overall disappointed.… (mehr)

Book Info: Genre: Sci-fi thriller/conspiracy theories relating to modern society
Reading Level: Adult
Recommended for: Those interested in conspiracy theories regarding UFOs, alien abductions, and modern proliferation of autism
Trigger Warnings: conspiracy, kidnapping

My Thoughts: This is a really crazy book. Is it real or is it fiction? The author declares, “It is fiction!” but so many real events and factual experiences are included in this, that's it's difficult to be certain. I was editing the version that was published a year or so ago, and it definitely needed it, as there were a lot of typos and misused words. If you have a copy for your Kindle and haven't read it yet, be sure to wait for the update and update it before you read it for maximum enjoyment. If you are interested in UFOs, alien abductions, and a truly unique theory about why autism has exploded over the past 70 years, then this book might be one you will find entertaining, or at the very least interesting.

Steve Peek has a lot of really interesting ideas that are spread throughout his various books. If you're at all interested in the multiverse, multiple-dimesional theory of reality, you should really explore his works. This is a good place to start, I think. A very enjoyable read!

Disclosure: I edited this book after earlier receiving a copy as a gift; I had not had a chance to read my copy before I was provided the manuscript to edit. I do not receive remuneration based upon sales. All opinions are my own.

Synopsis: Narrated by a rogue keeper of government secrets, this fact-based thriller begins with the death of America's first Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal and posits he did not commit suicide but was killed for what he was about to reveal.

The story follows the trail of government research past the Manhattan Project and pulls that team of famous physicists to work on Project Rainbow, an outgrowth of secret research during World War II. Real history and real science make this story compelling and not easily dismissed even by UFO reports' most cynical critics.

The evidence eventually leads to answer the big questions: What brought the visitors, why have they stayed, what do they want?

Hunted by a high-tech FBI unit, the narrator eludes capture and sets a kidnapping in motion that reveals the existence of Melanie, a ten-year-old girl prized by the visitors and held captive by the government.

More liberators than kidnappers, the group narrowly escapes numerous international agencies engaged in pursuit and delivers Melanie to a remote part of the world where she is safe—for now.… (mehr)

Book Info: Genre: Non-fiction/Self-help/Dream Interpretation
Reading Level: Adult
Recommended for: Those who are interested in learning from their dreams how to achieve self-realization

My Thoughts: Wow, this book is really amazing! Peek mixes Platonic Solids, chakras, the zodiac, guardian angels, the Mayan calendar, and other elements together in a system to help achieve understanding of yourself and others through a 21-day program of working with dreams and what he calls the Coyote Stones (although they are actually just symbols printed on paper and taped together into the Platonic Solid shapes). It's something I found absolutely fascinating, and anyone who is interested in these ideas should definitely check out this book when it is re-released after being edited.

Disclosure: I received an e-book copy of this book as a gift from the author, as thanks for work I did on an earlier book. Later the author asked me to edit it for him. I have not been asked for a review, and I do not receive remuneration based upon sales. All opinions are my own.

Synopsis: Dreams are a forgotten path to self. A series of dreams destroyed the author's life. They eventually changed his perspective allowing him to understand why so many of us feel dissatisfied with life. The changing goes against basic precepts and concepts we hold as truth. It is a personal quest of mythic scale that each person must take for themselves. But first they must be shown a problem exists. Then they make the choice to change inside. Only by making internal changes can we change the world around us, or as Gandhi said, "Be the change." Coyote Dreaming shows how civilization is out of balance and a fundamental change of mind is necessary to allow many, for the first time, to understand psychological discomforts with which they have suffered their whole life. The same discomforts afflict tens of millions of people for the same reason: they do not fit into the hole society created for them. Coyote Dreaming provides a system that encourages dreams that tap into the unconscious to learn and explore ways to improve our life and the lives of those around us. Everything we need is in our dreams. All we have to do is listen.… (mehr)

Please note: This review is based off the 2010 edition, which I edited for re-release in April 2013.

My Thoughts: This is a really interesting read. Peek explores the idea that not only are there parallel worlds--Otherworlds--but that access to them has led to the monster myths, UFO sightings, and the building of megaliths, monumuents and henges across the world. He expands on this idea using everything from the Theory of Relativity to nuclear submarines and torpedoes to tales of the fairy folk. I'm very excited to see the updated edition that will result from my edits; I think it'll be amazing.… (mehr)
