WHAT ARE REVIEWERS, AUTHORS, & EXPERTS SAYING ABOUT NUMENON?
AMAZON REVIEWS: NUMENON HAS GREAT REVIEWS! CLICK HERE TO READ THEM!
"FIVE STARS! Highly recommended to readers seeking modern fiction with fantastical elements.
When you have it all, what's there to worry about? "Numenon: A Tale of Mysticism & Money" is the first book of the Bloodsong series. Will Duane was set for life -- or so he thought. Love throws a wrench in his plans, and he soon finds himself irrationally chasing after one. To follow her, he takes his corporation on a spiritual retreat, one of maximum luxury. New Mexico and the Mogollon Bowl, sacred to the Native Americans, have other plans for Will. A fantasy set in the real world to draw readers in and never let them go, "Numenon" is highly recommended to readers seeking modern fiction with fantastical elements."
Midwest Book Review, October, 2008
"Adults, rejoice! We no longer have to read
the kid's copy of Harry Potter, because we have Sandy Nathan
and Numenon! Numenon has all the compelling adventure, magic,
culture clash and mystery anyone could want. I could not
put it down! Where's the sequel? What happens with Grandfather
and Will Duane? It is an epic of similar proportions to Jean
Auel's Clan of the Cave Bear (and thankfully eight sequels
are already being created), is superbly written, and beautifully
weaves a treasure-trove of spiritual and intellectual wisdom
into the story without becoming at all tedious or "preachy." Sandy
Nathan is truly divinely inspired as a novelist. I am totally
enthralled. "

“The material and spirit world clash
in this well-written adventure novel. A fantastic intellectual
work which makes
readers question their priorities in this life. A highly-recommended
title.”
USA Book News
"The collision of commerce and spirit,
the world's richest man and an ancient Native American
shaman, a global
corporation larger than any other and the quiet strength
at the core of the natural world -- this is thriller and
metaphor and life lesson in the hands of a writer who has
journey'd through both worlds."
Gerald DiPego, screenwriter–Phenomenon
WHAT ARE READERS SAYING ABOUT NUMENON?
"I got up in the middle of the night
and finished Numenon. I was so engrossed. It had me on
the edge of my sofa and
I couldn't go to bed without finishing it. Now I need more
to read."
Trudy Way––Santa Ynez, CA
"I'm not a great reader, but I got
started on Numenon and couldn't stop. I read the whole
thing in two sittings.
I just have one question: Where's the sequel? What happens
next?"
Caryle Swartwood––Solvang,
CA
"I finished this book and thought
to myself, How could she do this to me? I'm sitting here,
in the middle of the
United States, with no more to read. It's driving me crazy.
I want the sequel. Sandy's first book, Stepping Off the Edge,
is a really good book for nice people. Numenon is everyone,
and it's going to drive people crazy."
