Produktbeschreibung
The replacement of humans has begun. It starts with the voices ... It is war-ravaged China in the 1930's. John Powers and his fellow group of pilgrims are trying to evade Nationalist forces, communist rebels and the invading Japanese army, all while carrying a strange golden statue and searching for a mysterious woman known as Her. At the same time, John begins hearing voices insisting that he conceive a son with another of the travelers. Who is Her? Why do the voices want John to have a son? Are the voices evidence that John has schizophrenia, as he fears? Or are they something else altogether? The Stillness Series is a thought-provoking saga that contemplates the end of the human race as we know it. It begins with a small group of humans seeking a mysterious woman known as Her and culminates many generations later in the rise of a new, more powerful, and empathetic species, the Superior Ones.
Autorenporträt
Richard Lee Ferguson has been passionate about Asia since he was a small boy, when his father told him stories about his experiences as a Marine officer in China. His passion grew deeper as a result of his own experiences in Vietnam where he spent almost a year in the jungle fighting the Viet Cong, the North Vietnamese Army, and malaria. After returning from the war, he obtained a Master's Degree in Asian Studies, learned to speak, read and write Chinese, established numerous businesses in Asia, and became a lawyer. He practiced international law, advised businesses on their global operations and strategies, lectured at local universities on Asian culture and business law, traveled frequently to Asia, and participated in seminars in Vietnam and China for business and government leaders. He is currently living in a secluded rural town veiled by the forests of Northern California, retired from his professional life, and is teaching classes in history, science, literature, government, economics, and psychology to gifted high school students while continuing his writing.
