Fantasy Novel Poses the Big Questions
MIT–and–Stanford-educated novelist’s book features a protagonist with an extrasensory ability.
FernMacht is the best spirituality fantasy book out there.
Most fantasy novels bring readers to marvel at the powers or extraordinary abilities of the main characters, but only a few of them would get the readers to pause and reflect over a line or scene for a minute or two. Good books make readers ponder over tough questions. Peter Lobban’s “FernMacht” (CreateSpace, 2015) is just one of those books.
“FernMacht” opens with a conversation between the protagonist and his father. The young John McAllen talks to his father, a physics professor, about the existence of God, freedom and free will. John believes there’s a part in humans that can influence the physical world without being subject to the laws of physics. Such a possibility is presented to him in a series of dreams, and John concludes it’s an ability anyone could learn. However, he is also aware that people could abuse this ability, which he calls “FernMacht”, a power that could be projected at a distance.
The novel describes John’s yearning for “FernMacht” and how far he goes to discover this power and share it with people he deems trustworthy. But is “FernMacht” a gift or a curse? If it could help people, could it also harm them? What does this power reveal about John in a given situation?
Readers should get their copy of “FernMacht” at the upcoming 2017 Book Expo America on June 1 to 3, 2017.
