REVIEWS
I loved how the novel delves into the ethical and moral dilemmas that arise from such a discovery, sparking questions about karma, accountability, and the responsibility we might carry from past lives. The mix of suspense, philosophical reflection, and societal upheaval kept me hooked until the very end.
If you enjoy metaphysical thrillers that make you question everything you thought you knew, this book is a must-read. It’s more than a novel—it’s a journey into the deepest mysteries of the human soul.

This is really a captivating novel that asks: What happens after we die? Dr. Adrienne Wallace’s revolutionary invention, ChronoSync, is at the heart of this narrative, and it promises nothing short of a scientific breakthrough with the ability to decode the secrets of the soul. This innovative technology reveals irrefutable proof of past lives, forever altering how we view existence and our connection to the universe.
The characters in this story are well-crafted, and the narrative balances intellectual exploration with the emotional stakes of personal discovery. Adrienne Wallace's invention isn’t just a scientific triumph but a catalyst for moral dilemmas and societal conflicts, creating a tension-filled atmosphere that kept me turning pages until the end. Ugh, I’m still thinking about this book.

I found this book absolutely fascinating, especially the way it blends science and spirituality through the invention of ChronoSync. The concept of uncovering past lives and the ethical dilemmas it triggers kept me thinking long after I finished. The only thing I wish was explored a bit more was the personal impact on the characters, but the big ideas and questions it raises make it a gripping and thought-provoking read.
Bob Orney
Really enjoyed this one! The blend of science and spirituality was super interesting, and the idea of decoding past lives through DNA made me think. The story dives into some deep questions, like whether we’re accountable for actions in our past lives, which kept me hooked. If you're into books that mix philosophy with a sci-fi twist, this one’s a good pick.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Eternal Patriots: The Crusade for a More Perfect Union." Set during the American Revolution, the story’s blend of history, mystery, and romance kept me hooked. Eliza Sinclair's defiant passion and her love for James Ardmore against the backdrop of war were captivating. The hunt for the Solum Codex added an intriguing layer, exploring the clash between loyalty and destiny. The vivid characters, especially Thomas Reddington's inner conflict, brought depth to the narrative. This book beautifully highlights the human spirit's resilience amidst turmoil, making it an unforgettable read that resonates with both heart and mind.

"The Asuras: A Dreamworld Odyssey" is a mesmerizing blend of mystical prophecy and psychological exploration, offering readers an extraordinary journey alongside protagonist Emma Zigler. A Harvard graduate with the unique ability to lucid dream, Emma's talent transcends academic curiosity under the guidance of dream specialist Monica Taylor and unfolds into an adventure of cosmic significance.
Neil Perry Gordon's narrative is a rich tapestry of suspense and spiritual warfare, casting Emma into an ancient conflict between the forces of good and evil. The dreamscape becomes a vividly detailed battleground, a testament to Gordon's skill in creating worlds as tangible as fantastical.
The introduction of Gus Williams and the shadowy Asuras propels the story into a high-stakes struggle for the fate of free will. Gordon deftly explores profound themes—destiny, freedom, and love—with an intellectually stimulating and emotionally gripping narrative.
"The Asuras" does more than entertain; it provokes thought about the nature of reality and the unseen wars waged within our own subconscious. The alliance between Emma and Gus ignites a beacon of hope that resonates with the current global climate, making the novel a timely read.
As a testament to the power of dreams and the indomitable human spirit, "The Asuras: A Dreamworld Odyssey" is a thought-provoking, imaginative, and thrilling read that will resonate with fans of fantasy and those seeking a deeper narrative that questions and celebrates the essence of human agency. This book is a compelling call to arms, a dreamer's odyssey that will linger in the corridors of your mind long after the final page is turned.

This is a book that speaks to the profound implications of how the metaphysical realm affects our earthly material world. The issues and divisiveness we face in our society aren't just symptoms we experience of hate, greed, and fear, but rather a cause due to the fracturing of the human soul that succumbs to being devoid of empathy and compassion. I love how this book posits how matters of ethereal significance have a ripple effect on the human experience and how Emma and Gus can explore this through lucid dreaming. "As above so below" as mentioned in the book.
I've been a lucid dreamer since I was a pre-teen and up until adulthood, I believed this phenomenon was experienced by everyone. This book resonated deeply with my past beliefs on the affect dreams have on my subconscious and how they can even imbue our actions in the material world. Moreover, our dreams can tell us more about our current condition and why we experience suffering. When we choose to listen to them and write them down, this means we are very intentional and conscious with extracting their meanings.
In recent months now, I've experienced a resurgence of dream awareness, which has alluded me for many years, and I've noticed that I'm not only remembering my dreams more, but I'm experiencing the lucidity that was in my grasp from years prior. This book has reignited my passion for my dream state. A surprisingly good read that I believe has found me.
Josiah Pierre
"The Asuras: A Dreamworld Odyssey" is a gripping and thought-provoking read that will appeal to fans of fantasy, thrillers, and anyone with a curiosity about the hidden workings of the human mind. The author's vivid prose and complex characters will stay with you long after you finish the last page, leaving you questioning the reality you wake up to each morning. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy fantastical worlds, dream exploration, and a dash of metaphysical intrigue.
Joyce Bui
This book weaves a captivating tale of lucid dreams, celestial prophecies, and a timeless battle for humanity's soul. As someone who has very lucid dreams I found the whole premise of the story capitvating. The two main characters, Emma and Gus, take on an epic, suspenseful journey, which kept me captivated from beginning to end.

I found this story riveting from the very start. I don’t know if you read like this, but the story was so much fun, the details make the story so easy to understand, while creating intrigue and a wonder about how it would evolve. After I started I did not want it to end, so I would pick it up and put it down. Well today I finished and I want to say, Neil, you did a fantastic job of telling your grandfathers story. I am catholic, so not until I was older did I learn the customs of Judiasm, so many of which are explained as the story unfolds. These customs holding families together, as they did here, and excellently detailed by our author. With a simple story line of a cobbler, we explore, love triangles, gangsters, lost children and crooked cops. We see our story unfold with surprises not expected, througout. I was transfixed watching the lives of children, mother, husband, friends and even Rabbi’s entertwined as their lives unfold. I would highly recommend this wonderful story to any age group, wanting to see how a family evolves sweetly through challenges of epic proportions. Congratulations Neil, keep up the great work.

Really enjoyed this novel because so many aspects of the story paralleled with my grandparents. Really well written and hard to put down once you get started. Highly recommend. Cheers to the author!

If you are Jewish, you will love it. If you’re not, you’ll love it too – and you will learn about the Jewish exodus from what is now Poland circa 1900. This is about Pincus Potasznik, his wife, Clara, plus three children including Moshe with mystical powers, and friend, Jacob Adler. Pincus and Jacob get to America, experience danger and opportunity, then return for Clara and kids as WW I erupts. Neil Gordon uses astonishing imagination, startling adventure, and delicious detail about escape by steamship in the pit of steerage contrasted by return in first class luxury. He experiences gangsters, violence and surprise at every corner. Just as you think calm is at hand, life-threatening events shock your journey. Every page will drive you to the next one. Try it. You’ll like it.

It's a story of immigrant life in Poland and the lower east side in Manhattan. A bit more than just a story about how hard conditions were. Crime and exploitation were treated in a realistic manner by author. A good effort.
Severin K.
Couldn’t put this one down. If you like historical fiction with plenty of twists and turns and a sprinkling of fantasy this book is a must read. It’s a sweeping tale of one young mans life journey both physical and spiritual and all he encounters along the way.
The author skillfully weaves the plights of native Americans, Jewish immigrants and the earliest European settlers to the New World as their paths intersect.
I particularly enjoyed the way the author takes us inside the lives of various Native American tribes and offers parallels that this reader had never before considered
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Neil Perry Gordon has followed up with his first page-turning novel "A Cobbler's Tale", with an engaging story of Lukas Petersen, a young man seeking to connect with the Great Spirit after the brutal murder of his father by the evil English Captain Jeremy Lovewell.
This 16th Century story tells the fascinating tale of how Lukas reaches out to the wisdom of the Native American tribes who are also fighting for their very existence against the encroaching white man.
A fine second novel - deserving of 5 stars.

Moon Flower, set in year 1675, follows the path of enlightenment for eighteen year old Lukas Pietersen, a Dutch Jew, as he leaves home with his Indian friend Rawtag, on a quest to become a Pequawket Indian Warrior. As a young white boy yearning to become an Indian Warrior, Lukas will be forced to face the discrimination all Indians endured during those times. Among the many tests showing bravery and worthiness, he must ingest seeds from the Moon Flower, administered by a Shaman, which will remove his memory and open his mind to meet the Great Spirit and battle Wendigo, an evil spirit. Lukas’s journey will take him from the longhouses of the Turtle tribe to New Amsterdam, the west coast of Africa slave market and across the Atlantic to The New World slave market in Charles Town, on a quest to avenge his father’s death by the hands of a British Captain.
Neil Perry Gordon has crafted a well-woven story of intrigue, adventure and racial bias endured by not only the Indian population, but also Jewish settlers during the 1600’s. Lukas’s quest makes the reader want to search out the facts woven into this historical fiction.
SKW
Wow! What a beautifully crafted, engrossing and thought provoking story. The characters really showed me a great view of the how Old World America and New World America blended together and how many valuable teachings the Native Americans had to share. Meaningful topics of good vs. evil and coming of age in the 1600’s was thought provoking and kept my interest from start to finish.
Barbara Miller
First, this is the second book of “Tales of the Cobbler”, so I recommend you first read “The Cobbler’s Tale.” This can be read as a standalone book as well, but the first one will give you an insight into Moshe’s culture and background. In the first book, Moshe was a young child that just discovered his powers, and in this book he is already 60 years old and living in NYC. “...he had never ventured beyond New Jersey since he arrived in America with his parents and siblings after their harrowing escape from their home in Krzywcza during World War I.”
The story revolves around his battles with the Manhattan mafia, but also involves supernatural powers and divine awakening.
What I liked the most about this book is that it teaches a great deal about Jewish cultural values, a topic that I wasn’t familiar with before reading it. It blends very realistic and believable characters, with a world of Jewish fantasy, which is unique and very enjoyable. I can say that it gave me a welcome break from the typical commercial literature of today.
Ananta Govinda
A Jewish cobbler uses his dream-related powers to battle with a Manhattan gangster and his son. This is a weird book, and I'm saying that as someone who's read the likes of Stephen King for years. The idea of magical dream powers isn't really a new one and the idea of using those dreams for financial benefit is likewise common. Where the idea becomes original is the fact that our main character has to visit the dream world to train and improve his powers. I don't know if I've ever seen a dream world training montage or not but this one provides that in spades! The characters are likable and the pacing and writing are fantastic. Give this one a read when you get a chance.
Ivan
I was looking forward to this, the third book from this author as the sequel to the authors first book "A Cobblers Tale" which I enjoyed very much mostly for the story line and historical context. In this one he adds to the historical setting, a strong element of the supernatural and alternative consciousness world which admittedly is not always my favorite however it's so skillfully presented that I not only enjoyed the journey, I found myself wanting more when it was over. I highly recommend this book.
Lucinda
I did not expect to like this. But what a sweet, lovely story with well drawn characters and just - magic. The writing is lovely and I thought, filled with the author's heart, and gosh darn, it was a really good story. I'm not much on magical realism, although I'm not sure what this is, but it's a story with goodness behind it, and I confess I was tearing up at the end. Makes me wish I knew the author.
Mary Sheeran
Loved this book! As a reader of primarily historical fiction I'm always pleased to find something new that's entertaining and character driven while set in an historical setting perhaps not as common or so well covered in the genre. This one checks all the boxes. Fast paced with plenty of suspense, set in the Alaskan frontier of the late 19th century, this is a must read. Enjoy!

Agatha Margret Reyes
A beautifully crafted, empowering, and soul-warming book about a young graduate 's trip to Alaska in 1898. Inspired by Jack London's opening address, youthful Samuel, son of a vendor store owner, hides his cultural roots and reshapes himself as Percy Hope. At the height of the Alaska Gold Rush, life becomes both invigorating and frightening. Author Neil Perry Gordon brings us characters that we can easily connect with, and settings that are brilliantly characterized. Gordon's exquisitely imagined writing style has clearness and component, and he keeps the pace fairly quickly and does justice to the remarkable array of characters. Samuel's resurgence as typical teenage self-doubt is gorgeously envisioned. Ripe on unforeseen cliffhangers and shocking turns, this fast-paced adventure will delight fans of action-adventure as well as lovers of complex coming-of-age stories. This one checks all of the boxes. Fast-paced with a lot of suspense, set in the Alaskan border at the end of the 19th century, this is a must-read. Savor it!

Really enjoyed Hope City, great vacation read and now I've ordered books 2 and 3 in the trilogy.
Reads at a good pace and characters are well developed.
You won't be disappointed.

I immensely enjoyed this epic-romantic tale of an innocent woman’s torment as she is forced into prostitution and the hero’s journey across three continents for her rescue. It was also very interesting to read about that terrible time when the Zwi Migdal, an organized crime group founded in Poland and based mainly in Argentina, ruled over Buenos Aires. I couldn’t put the riveting book down. It was well-written, romantic, scandalous, terrifying, and very descriptive.
Amazon Customer
What a book! It has everything I look for in a novel. It educates while it entertains. I was never aware of this hideous side of Jewish history. It has characters that are both three dimensional and sympathetic. They’re larger than life while also remaining realistic. Same with the novel’s villains. How many men would go through what Alex goes through to get Sadie back? None that I’ve ever met. Rarely have I ever read of a fictional character with this much fortitude and passion for the woman he loves. The couple genuinely goes through Hell trying to reunite and you feel for them every step of the way. Of course what Sadie endures is far more grueling and traumatic than what Alex does. More so than any character in any book I’ve read about it in a long time. I feel the need to keep elaborating on what makes this book so good, but I don’t want to give anything away. Please, check this book out. It’s a page turner and won’t disappoint!

People of this era might not understand how hard it was to be in love those days. The author has written this story so beautifully. Love is one such emotion that inspires an man to do great strides and that is the driving force of the protagonist. You will sure love this story. This is something so different from the traditional cliche love stories.

A really nice book that had great ebb and flow to it.
I was able to finish it in under a week which is very fast for me...mainly because the book was so good.
I found myself reading in between appointments and in parking lots when I had free time.
Highly recommend; will look for more work from this author.

It's a long story, but I was able to complete it in two settings. The author did an incredible job of combining historical events with a fictitious adventure. It takes us behind the scenes of an exciting historical event in Alaska. The book is like watching a movie because of the action and mystery. The writing style and character development equally impressed me a lot. This is an excellent book that will pique the reader's interest. A humorous look at a significant historical event that occurred in Alaska. Recommended.
Sean Dollwet
I really like stories from this period and have always enjoyed films and Tv shows based on this time period too. The writing here is good and so are the character generations and world-building. The fact is that most stories are based on some semblance of history and fact and that for me is so intriguing.
The writing here really is good and so is the character generation and development. The formating is also good along with the grammatical aspects.
I really liked that there is mention of famous characters such as Wyatt Earp, I like that the same way that I like the TV show and that is how I imaged this.
Great fun to read and hard to put down.

Interesting story finding Percy and Magnus meeting up in a new Alaskan gold rush town. For me personally, the story started off slower than Cape Hope, however it soon moved in pace and drama; bringing interesting turns and plot twists which left me wanting more. And I am happy to say I just received the final book in this trilogy Denali, Sunday 9/18 and WOW! About Halfway done. Neil had provided a great story line. Pick up a copy and enjoy!

I loved the writing style in this book, as well as the vibrant characters. Cape Nome, as written here, felt like a real place, populated by an incredibly eccentric cast who came off like real people. I highly recommend this book.

This latest novel by Neil Perry Gordon breathes life into the frozen remains of an actual Iceman. Scientists have been studying the preserved body of the Iceman since its discovery in the Italian Alps in 1991. What is fascinating is the proof of the use of medicinal treatment some 5,200 years ago! But writer Gordon takes this actual story to another level. As the body of the Iceman thaws, his soul awakens.
The chapters focusing on ancient village life of clans in the Alps are so realistic and give historical substance. It is delightful how the writer views our scientific world from the vantage point of a tribal mountain man who was once chief of a village. The chapters move back and forth from the original story and the awakening of consciousness and all that entails. The journey through the realms of hell describes such human torments, questions, and challenges that haunt people today. Such an after-death soul-journey takes on deeper meaning as the karmic threads & twists develop. Needless to say, each chapter becomes a "cliffhanger!"
Imagine discovering a new world with the perceptions of a 5,000 year-old Iceman? Such humorous moments help lighten the journey.
Yes, it is quite a journey!
A Great Read!

Otti’s Odyssey is a fascinating metaphysical novel of the legendary Iceman, a 5000 year old mummy discovered in the Italian Alps in 1991. The author has written a compelling backstory, filling in the reasons why the Neolithic man ended up frozen into a glacier. It’s not only an adventure story but a journey into the spiritual world with fascinating characters, both good and evil.

It took a chapter or so, but I was hooked on this story. I didn’t care so much for the multiple chapters detailing his discovery; it felt unnecessary and was not why I kept reading. The ancient story was great, and the journey through the underworld was great. Highly recommend!
K Storme
For those of us who remember the iceman, this book has a particularly interesting premise. As the iceman comes back to life, the story really begins and the author's use of historical truths, science, and a healthy dose of imagination make this one very fun and interesting read. Well done!

I'm not a big fan of reading extended stories. And one of them is this one. But I'm not sure what drew me to pick up this book. And after finishing it, I realized that I would have missed out on a wonderful book if I hadn't chosen it. It was a wonderful adventure novel written by a brilliant author. The plot was well-developed, and the characters were fantastic. I found all of the characters to be really relatable and enjoyable. In this work, the turns and twists, the pacing, the grammar, and the fluency were all excellent. I have to say that I thoroughly liked every minute of reading this. As a result, I strongly advise you to choose this to enjoy your relaxation.

What a great end to the Goldfield Series trilogy. Neil provides an exciting, thrilling and satisfying conclusion to the adventures Percy. It concluded better than I imagined and every Book in the series was enjoyable, I have several friends now reading about the adventures of Percy and encourage you to do the same.
Thank you Percy and Neil for providing so much adventure during my summer reading hiatus.

Denali is the final book in the Goldfield Trilogy of the Alaskan Adventures of Percy Hope. Neil Perry Gordon has written a fine conclusion to the series. I was riveted throughout with twists and turns along with fascinating historical references. My suggestion is to start with Hope City, then pick up Cape Nome before delving into Denali.

I am a sucker for authentic character development and arcs. The protagonist, Leopold Wolf, goes through a stunning transformation from young man working as a scrawny carpenter for his dad’s company to full on Native American advocate, facing unbelievable obstacles along the way. The narrative was compelling, with some unexpected turns, and had historical aspects both tragic and otherwise, some of which I didn't know much about. The straightforward writing style reminded me of some of my favorite Gary Paulson (Hatchet) books.

This book chronicles the transformation of Leopold Wolf from a naive young man into an outspoken advocate for Native American rights during the late 1800s. Leo works for the Carlisle Indian School, an institution governed by the motto “kill the Indian, save the man”, and notorious for its harshness of its abuse, neglect, and victimization of the children under its care.

Thunder Falls is a powerful novel by the prolific writer - Neil Perry Gordon. Just as in his previous books, NPG doesn’t disappoint.

I’m looking forward to reading more about Leopold Red Wolf in the sequel.

Anyone who has lost a loved one or pondered the question of what happens to the soul after death will find Between Two Gates a fascinating read. We can all sympathize with the young protagonist Sam, as he confronts the difficult truth of his death and the work his soul must accomplish to ultimately be reborn. Drawing on a variety of historical, religious and philosophical writings the author vividly describes the planetary realms and their inhabitants. Reading this book was a healing experience that opened my mind up to the infinite possibilities of our collective humanity. I also found that the short chapter format moved the narrative along very well.

This book is an enchanting journey through ethereal landscapes that deliver profound insights about existence and the transformative power of love. Samuel's voyage beyond death into spiritual realms, masterfully told through immersive, lyrical prose, is both captivating and thought-provoking. Neil ingeniously weaves the fantastical elements, such as the interaction with divine beings and the eerie, yet enlightening experience with the forest and its creatures, which truly enrich the narrative. It's an exploration of our intimate connection to the natural world, wrapped up in a gripping narrative that resonates on a deep, universal level. This novel is undoubtedly a brilliant piece of literature that resonates with readers long after the final page is turned.
Kirk Teachout
At a whopping 64 chapters, this book is longer than my usual reading adventures. That being said, I've been thoroughly enjoying my dive into the thought-provoking narrative. Life after death is something that everyone has thought about, whether they'll admit to it or not. I found the story to be a great diversion from my normal everyday life as it helped me forget the inevitability of my own death creeping closer every minute.
M. Grim
“Between Two Gates” is an enthralling exploration of the afterlife, reminiscent of “What Dreams May Come” (the novel, not that dreadful movie with Robin Williams). This book will open your imagination to the possibilities of life after death. This spiritual story explores the eternal nature of love and the far-reaching consequences of our actions, all set against a backdrop of breathtaking vistas and otherworldly encounters. If you’re searching for something both entertaining and unusual, look no further.

Neil Perry Gordon is at it once more with a tale from World War I and the aftermath of a true historical event. Gordons characters come to life in an age not guided by technology but human interaction, patriotic loyalties, human frailties, and courage. An interesting look into the past with twists and turns galore, The Bomb Squad should be on your reading list.
Brian Delaney
This book, a real twisty tale, about a squad of men investigating a series of bombings on ships coming into New York harbor, had a real historic feel to it as the main character, Max, tracks a German American, Dr. Harold Schimt, all the while he configures cigar bombs that are planted by Irish stevedores sympathetic to the doctor's cause. I liked the way that it ended, with the lead detective, after using a ruse involving the doctor's father, makes the big bust and then, explained to the guys in the squad how he cane ti pick the guys he worked with, by using Dr' Carl Jung's archetype system to come up with the squad. In conclusion, I would recommend this for people who are into complex crime thrillers with an interesting background such as this. Joe A.

I bought this book after it was recommended to me by a friend who knew I am a huge fan of Pillars of the Earth, I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. I found it very engaging and highly recommend it if you like this kind of books
