We have the technology to clone human beings. But do we have the
right? We have the ability to play God. But what if we could clone
God? We can... And already did. An ancient prophecy predicts a dire
future as past and present intertwine into a deadly dance of power
with mankind as the ultimate pawn. Jane Hunt, author of Dragon
Legacy: A supernatural event occurs at an Italian monastery in 1046
which starts a chain of events destined to affect the future of
humanity. 'The Shroud' is a fast paced apocalyptic thriller with
strong elements of horror and suspense. They say the road to hell
is paved with good intentions and that is the premise behind this
cautionary tale. Fast forward to the 20th century when the ability
to clone a human being exists. A group of well-meaning but sadly
misguided priests and nuns persuade a genetic scientist with
dubious morals to clone Jesus Christ. 'The Shroud' explores
interesting themes. Full of plot twists and a cast of characters
all with their unique parts to play in the drama that unfolds.
Historical flashbacks provide clues to the mystery which I liked.
Well written supernatural elements ensure a unique take on a much
written about theme it definitely brings something new to the
table. Full of vivid imagery and explosive action this is a
recommended nail-biting read.
Herein, you will delve into sublime explorations of self and how
identity figures in the worldly volition of movement through
existence. You will find poems kindled and sparked by parables and
refined in the double edge of metaphorical flames. You will find
writing that purrs and screams with personal howls that leap beyond
supernatural into the deep psychological aspects of maladaptations
(or what is considered as such) utilizing the oddest/loveliest
dagger-sharp similes to stun the fabric of the audience psyche.
David's poetry and prose are epic mini-plays with the theater being
the imagination of the reader. The limits of the enchanting imagery
and fleshed out states of existence have no bounds except those
imposed by the audience.
Welcome to the illusory mind of writing enthusiast David W Moore
III. In this book of short stories and poetry, David's written
world is nothing short of a creative homage to the spirit and
traditions that have helped to shape him. Influences of gothic
writer Edgar Allen Poe and English romantic poet Percy Bysshe
Shelley are intricately woven into such works as Siren Song and
Sleep, Perchance to Dream, while other works such as The House flow
like a cavalcade of musicians and mourners at a New Orleans
funeral--a balanced blend of thoughts mourning death and
celebrating life. Wyrd of the Wyrm blows with the powerful trumpets
that haunt the psyche and challenge the moral and ethical
contentment of consciences, While The World in D minor quietly, but
majestically directs an orchestral score of music and wonder
intertwined with creation. All in all, I would say his works
epitomize the cognitive melange that makes David W Moore III one of
a kind.
