Enjoyable ride!

An urban fantasy that plops endearing Tibetan monks in northern Alabama, USA with an unlikely hero (The Hope); throws in some wonderful, earth-wise southern grandparents, a wheelchair-bound woman on a mission, and a savant whiz who can manipulate reality (if he gets the math right). Then there's the Realm working hard to tip the scales to their side and havoc the world. What emerges from this soup is a delightful journey that will make you laugh and sit on the edge of your seat and leave you wiser than you were when you began. I recommend!

A New Age apocalyptic comedy-adventure?

_The Shining, Shining Path_ is a fabulous book that defies categorization. As an adventure story with spiritual overtones, it reminds me a little of _The Celestine Prophecy_, but _Shining Path_ is *much* better written and far more enjoyable. What happens when a Vietnam vet meets a traveling tour of Tibetan monks, a former sweetheart in a wheelchair, and a black mathematical genius? You get an indescribable mix of mysticism, romance, and slapstick comedy. Check it out - it's well worth a read.
