Star Pilgrim – A Story of the Deepest Mysteries of Existence cover

This is a story that explores the awesome mystery of being. An enigmatic vessel of light arrives on Earth from the depths of space, revealing nothing of its occupants or purpose. It waits, a powerful symbol of humanity's weakness. Joseph Williams, a priest, devastated by the loss of a great love, confused by powerful mystical experiences and tormented by unanswered questions as to the meaning of his life, is pulled out of obscurity into a strange relationship with the vessel. Plunged into a great adventure, he is forced to go into hiding from worried governments. Help comes from an unlikely alliance of a Wiccan wise woman, a bishop and a mysterious Greek magician. Given sanctuary by an ancient esoteric sect, glimpses emerge of what might be happening. But it is only in his final, climactic encounter with the vessel of light that understanding comes. In finding answers to the riddles of his own life, he is confronted with the greatest questions of existence and forced to make a fundamental choice as to the future.

I thought Star Pilgrim was going to take me on a delightful journey. It ended up taking me on one hell of a ride. Star Pilgrim is gripping and very, very clever. It interweaves philosophy, mysticism and some home truths in an amazing story. The Da Vinci Code was a great tale and thought provoking, but Star Pilgrim goes one stage further. It is not just another good read, it deserves its place on the bestseller list. Sheer genius. (Paul Salmon, Eternal Spirit magazine) A colossal achievement! Star Pilgrim somehow manages to combine a brilliantly written page turner with a spiritual handbook a la Eckhart Tolle. Elegantly embedded in the arc of the story, Star Pilgrim offers new responses for us all as we negotiate the opportunities of the coming years.
