When L. M. Aldrich contacted me, requesting a book review, I was thoroughly excited. This is only the second time an author has asked me to review her book, and I am eager to share my thoughts. When I read a synopsis of Legends of the Light Bearer, my anticipation increased dramatically, for the topic of this novel is one I am greatly interested in. I hope I can harness the power of words once again as I try to justify the evident uniqueness and greatness of this book.
Legends of the Light Bearer: The story left untold is an intriguing novel comprised of government conspiracies, possibilities of extraterrestrial existence on Earth, and religious mysteries. The combination of these aspects makes for an intricate and enthralling plot. It is evident that the extensive research required for this story was in-depth. The obvious passion L. M. Aldrich put into her work is highly commendable and shines throughout her writing.
Texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Gnostic Scriptures provide a large segment of the story. This was one of the ingenious twists I discovered in the book; each chapter began with a line from one of many ancient scriptures. These texts included those that were omitted or excluded from the Bible. The sections that were prevalent in L. M. Aldrich's novel often hinted at possible alien presence on Earth. Indeed, I found this interesting...
I believe L. M. Aldrich was hinting at something while writing this book. A curious theme seems to crop up in every corner of the plot and encompasses the entirety of the text; salvation can only be found in the true light of God. Spiritual enlightenment cannot be found in the realm of matter and earthly pleasures, only in the omnipresent spirit of the universe where true love resides. I hope I have not completely missed the point of the novel, as that would be embarrassing. This is what I received from reading the book and what I found truly beautiful.
Legends of the Light Bearer: The story left untold is a book I am absolutely lucky to have read. The message and theme presented is one I completely believe in. I understand that not everyone will enjoy it as much as I have, but only because they will read it with their minds and not their hearts. This is a book I envelope with admiration and adoration. I hope to learn more about this fantastic author and her future works in a possible upcoming interview. Until then my dear readers, I highly recommend you check out this intriguing, unique, and truly mind-blowing novel. :-)

Legends of the Light Bearer: What if everything you believed about humanity was wrong?
Rating: 3.5 of 5
Author: L.M. Aldrich
Format: Kindle
Struggling to push her agenda forward, Breanna Shepard, junior senator from Virginia, finds roadblocks at every turn. But when Breanna learns of the federal government's harassment of citizens in one of the small towns in her state, she decides that enough is enough. Taking matters into her own hands, she begins an investigation and uncovers a chilling truth - one that shakes the very foundation of all she has ever known and believed about the very nature and history of humanity itself.
L.M. Aldrich's "Legends of the Light Bearer" is a very thought provoking tale which pulls substantially from the Gnostic scriptures as well as other non-mainstream documents which hint at something very different from our current understanding of humanity's origin. Dan Brown was a master at creating a plausible alternative view of Christianity in his works and occasionally Legends has a few similar moments. However, I found the main character’s whining at the beginning of the book about the US government and Christianity to be too superficial to be convincing. The action and pace start to pick up about twenty percent into the book and kept my attention. This section was the strength of the novel and I found myself repeatedly intrigued by some of the concepts presented. Finally, near the end my suspension of disbelief was stretched a bit too much.
Overall, "Legends" offers some strong, intriguing, and thought provoking concepts for readers to consider.
Note: A complimentary copy of this work was provided in return for a review.

Legends of the Light Bearer
L.M. Aldrich
Kindle ASIN
Legends of the Light Bearer by L.M. Aldrich is an interesting read.
Aldrich focuses on metaphysical explanations for phenomenon such as UFO and abductions. He also speaks of conspiracy theories to explain some of the same phenomenon, stating they come from two distinctly different sources.
Aldrich makes good use of characterization, but two of characters are very stereotypical, one plays a reasonably small enough role that the stereotyping is relatively insignificant. However, the other character plays a moderate role in the storyline so the stereotyping is a bit annoying.
Aldrich ties conspiracy theories and religious overtones together in his storyline, bringing everything together well. He makes good use of voice, although there was one place where I had to go back and re-read in order to be certain who the speaker was.
The plot is interesting and presented well, whether you agree with his theories or not. Tension is well developed, but loses its end-of-your-seat aspect a little too soon. Overall it was a good read, but not stellar. I would recommend it to conspiracy theorists and potential light workers, but few others.

Legends of the Light Bearer: The story left untold is a very thought provoking, irresistible story for those of us who have been searching for hidden truths in our beliefs. As the story unfolds, which keeps me spellbound every inch of the way, I feel my soul come to life. This story is worthy of an Amen.

Can I give it zero stars? If you are a fan of plot, this book is definitely not for you as it has none. If you feel like a diatribe on environmentalism, religion, pseudo-religion and just some weird crap, then by all means.
