This book brings the Orion's Spur series to an unforgettable close. The pace is relentless, and Ryder’s mission to end the war between Sagittarius and Persius is full of twists and turns.

Defending Demeter is an enthralling continuation of the Demeter saga, blending action, politics, and personal struggles in a sci-fi universe that feels both vast and intimate. The audiobook format enhances the experience, with the narrator bringing each character to life, making the tension and stakes palpable. The story delves deeper into themes of loyalty, survival, and the complex nature of power. Fans of space opera will appreciate the intricate world-building and the emotional depth of the characters.

Essential listening on reality as made up entirely of energy. A unique perspective, accessible and empowering, that threatens those that would have people held in fear and poverty. The content is so controversial that interviews and the author's newspaper column have been held back. The book tells how to participate consciously in oneness. It offers practical methods of divining, clearing energy, and living purposefully. It includes a vision of peace and alternative healing for existential, physical, mental, emotional, and environmental wellbeing.

This book serves as a great introduction to Montainge. The book is a mixture of biography and philosophy but I feel it's more the former. I wish the book was a bit more philosophical but it's still decent.
