This trilogy is so original it defies categorization. The third book is a lush treat for the senses, a fast ride for the intellect, a rollicking adventure for the spirit, and a warm caress for the romantic soul. Winner – especially the final volume – engages the reader on so many levels it is impossible to put down. From Antarctica to Giza, Venezuela to LA, global enigmas and universal mysteries are woven into a fantastic adventure spun across the epochs. If you only read one book every decade, make this trilogy your choice… It will alter your view of the universe, and our place in it, forever.
I loved the characters because they are so cool, and how the story is like a cross between “Lord of the Rings” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark” with a little bit of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” thrown in for good measure. The other-worldly scenes are so beautifully drawn, the story is worth reading just for that alone. In fact, this story is so well told and the prose so finely crafted that this book moves into the realm of literature.
