I finished this book some time ago and, only now, am I writing a review. I decided to give this book published in 2000 only 2 stars. Sorry, Billy Dee Williams. Lando may be one of my favorite characters from Star Wars, but this book didn't work for me ( of course, we don't know how much of the book is Williams' and how much is co-author Rob MacGregor's). I thought the idea of a psychic spy who uses remote viewing would be a good one--and it is--but this book is too formulaic and could not hold my interest. To be fair to Mr. Williams, perhaps I should have read the first book about Calloway before reading this book, the sequel.
I read this book because it was the only book left in the library that had anything to do with remote viewing. There are some inaccuracies in the book regarding remote viewing, most notably that an electromagnetic field can block it. This has been proven false by experiments done precisely to measure this. The story reads like a formula story, I didn't like any of the characters, and the basic good vs. evil struggle portrayed in the book was very basic and not well nuanced. I don't recommend this book, and I will avoid any future work by these authors.
When I saw Joseph McMoneagle's comment for the book (on the back cover) I knew I had to read it, here's what he said,
"With details and descriptions of remote viewing that are surprisingly similar to real events, Billy Dee Williams and REob MacGregor present a chilling vision that is closer to truth than one might think."
Now if that isn't intriguing I don't know what is. If you like remote viewing this book won't disappoint you.
