TwoWorlds: The Art of Dying/Love
A metaphysical fiction about mankind’s struggle against themselves in a fast-paced inter-dimensional romp for the very survival of the human soul.
Earth is balanced on the razor edge between darkness and light. Tipping to one side allows mankind the ability to graduate to a higher state of consciousness. Slipping to the other side leads to self-extinction. Unknowingly Steele and Celeste a young couple wanders into another dimension where our souls go after death, there they find their deceased grandmother. They soon learn that they have a unique ability to cross between dimensions, where they also meet helpful advanced souls Star and Jaguar, who explain that this plane of existence is mankind’s evolution to a higher universal understanding. Furthermore secrets to this dimension were given to them in notebooks written by grandmother Louise before passing on. They are suddenly thrust into a world of love and deceit, caught between government and church, afterlife and hell, greed and selflessness, youth and experience, where constant conflict forces decisions that will determine man’s existence.
In the suburbs of Denver, Colorado, a technology wizard has invented a means of travel that artificially uses this higher dimension as a springboard, allowing the user to Jump to any location around the world. A corrupt government official hires a mercenary soldier to steal this technology to use for his own agenda. Little does he know, or care, that the overuse of this Jump technology will destroy mankind’s ability to evolve, perching humanity on the brink of annihilation.
When the final climactic battle ends, a corner of the world is transformed, but mankind’s struggle is far from over.

About the author
R.B. Anderson
3 books20 followersI was born in New Mexico and raised in a family of artists and authors, giving me a uniquely imaginative view of the world.
An entrepreneur, I established and successfully ran art and design studios in San Francisco during the 1970’s and early 80's, and in Arizona until early 2000’s.
Shaping the next chapter in my life as an author, Arizona is home where my wife/soul mate live with our dogs. Inspiration to be a writer came from a series of notebooks written by my grandmother documenting her process of dying, where she met guiding angels. So pulling from the creative writing in my background I fashioned this important novel. I am currently working on a sequel to the TwoWorlds Series.

RB Anderson uses the perfect P.O.V. to tell this ultra-intelligent story. The characters are well developed, the plot moves along at a balanced pace, and it touches upon concepts, both general and specific that are relevant to all. I don’t often use the term deep, but this novel digs in. If you want to be or feel enlightened, divine the pages of Anderson’s novel, and you won’t be disappointed. As we get older some of us, myself included, question the knowledge of this world and more importantly contemplate the hereafter. Two Worlds is fabulous food for those thoughts and an essential read.
At first, like the characters in the story, Celeste and Steele, you don’t know where your going, but by chapter three, like the jump technology the story centers on, you settle into this plot-based story and get a sense of where you are. Initially, Anderson strategically takes you in the mind of Steele and into a different world (don’t want to give away too much), but ten pages in, Anderson switches to third-person, brings us back to another reality, and we are able to see this huge story in widescreen.
For literary lovers, Anderson’s prose is formidable with descriptive and poetic lines like “She breathed the chill of the cool air into strong lungs. White clouds drifted by, dampening her plume with condensation. Wind from this speed rushed through feathers that tickled as they fluttered in the breeze. Her vision was so sharp. Below, a sparkling clear lake lay huddled between mountain ridges, fed by a creek falling step by step from a natural spring” and this second-to-none simile caught me early in the story. “A bear sat in the waning sun peeking across the top of a sandstone arch. It was illuminated in the last rays of light, just enjoying himself like a wild actor, in nature’s theater.”
If you’re looking for a well-written fantasy that’s a smart read and deals with the metaphysical, look this way.

I am excited to share truths and wisdom from an advanced soul, that just happened to be my grandmother. Or maybe I chose this to be my life -- Can't seem to remember, but it feels right.
Through this novel I wrapped insights she shared through 19 note books, where she spoke regularly with Guiding Angels that shared universal truths about life and death -- or rather Life and Love since there is no death.
This book includes greedy political figures corrupt, government employees and a cleric in a fast-paced inter-dimensional struggle for the very survival of the human soul.
Please read share with your friends and rate it. I value your response.

This book by Anderson is a little perplexing to me. It is supposed to be a book generated from reading the notebooks of his mother when she found out she had six months to read. It develops into a story of the earth and it's closeness to another dimention and other dimensions and portals between them and the power some of these people (beings) have and some people on earth who want this ability to move between dimensions for their own use such as military. Received the book from Goodreads early reads. It was interesting.

This is not what I expected at all. I tried to enjoy the novel as I like the pretense but found it to be incredibly difficult to follow.I get into all the other world time travel/dimension possibilities and this one brought a little different twist. It took me a bit to get focused in on the characters and what was happening. Anyhow, the writing is captivating at times. If it weren't so hard to follow. Pay attention the first few chapters or you will get frustrated as it is not easy to follow at all.

This book made me think of my grandmother. It was a little slow at the beginning, but around the 5th chapter it got more interesting. This book made me think about a lot of deep concepts. There are some very interesting characters. My favorite was Jaguar. points of view switch which was a bit difficult to keep up with initially, but then I understood and got into it eventually. This is a good book for people who like sci-fi, fantasy and things like that.
