Summary: Blah, Blah, Blah, I don't buy the story line of 5000 yrs
Comment: I've read all 3 books in this series. In two places his implies
that his story is not fiction. One was an editorial and the other
was a second hand quote saying castenada's work was fiction (unlike his).
His argument for the truth of his experience is that his KU (our unconscious mind ) by defintion is not creative. Therefore his story as told is true. Yet as a highly trained anthropologist he certainly has sufficient bacground to come with a story that just happens to take place in places that he has lived or is familar.
His female lovers all look strangely similar to his wife, therefore he states they must be future incarnations of her. I don't buy it. Anyone who recalls their dreams know how creative they can be. I have had concious dreams( without the help of my stuffed childhood animal) and have found it interesting how the lanscapes are from 'my memory banks'.
I also believe the future (especially 5000 yrs from today) is definitly not cast in stone. IMHO the the future is a probability.
To me Hank's 3 books are similar to many new age story's that offer hints of human growth potential to travel in time and space as well as communicate with others (ESP).

Summary: Dr, Wesselman is getting better, but still needs work
Comment: Dr. Wesselman's work is getting some better, but is still in need of work.
This book takes up with Nainoa (again, and again, and again....). About a year has passed, and it is time for Nainoa to return to his people, so Nainoa, William (father of Nainoa'a companion Kenojelak (SP), and Williams Son Zaki (if memory serves) and their dogs leave the Ennu camp to return to his people in a precinct ruled by a local chief Kaneohe to report his discoveries while away.
An evil chief had stolen an item of Choef Kaneohe's clothing and was using it in sorcery to make Chief Kaneohe sick; nearly to death.
Nainoa returns literaly in the nick of time. William (a powerful Shaman, and Nainoa set about conducting a healing ceremony for Chief Kaneohe.
Because of success in healing the chief, and the information that horses could be found beyond the mountains. Nainoa is promoted from his commoner class to the Chiefly class, and becomes a healing Kahuna.
Nainoa takes a woman (of chiefly class) as wife, and unconsciously kills the evil sorcerer.
I have MANY of the same problems with this book that I spelled out when I reviewed "Spiritwalker" by the same author. Only that by now; Dr. Wesselman has discovered that a Shaman can initiate a Shamanic journey at will.
Unfortunately; Dr, wesselman buys into the notion of Global warming, and the greenhouse effect hook, line and sinker.
The Earth IS slightly warmer, but nowhere as bad as the NWS stations would imply. The U.S. has become much more urban than it was , and with the effect of billions of tons of asphalt, and concrete acting as a heat sink used for buildings, parking lots, interstate highways, etc; they are encroaching on the NWS weather stations, is causing the weather stations to provide faulty data.
If weather stations in China, Siberia, etc that was showing a similar temperature increase; I would take it much more seriously.
I encourage questions or comments about my reviews; Two Bears.

Summary: Beautifully written book
Comment: This is the second in the amazing series of books written by Hank Wesselman. Having met the man, and taken a class from him, I can only believe that what he has writen is true. The beauty of these books is that he is a wonderful writer. Wether you take the story as truth, or just an intertaining read, you will not be disapointed. Truely fasinating, and a book that cannot be put down until you reach the very end.
