Judge’s Commentary*:
SECRET WARRIORS,
PSYCHIC SPIES: REDUX by Roger Mannon is an intriguing book primarily about the
author's experience with the Monroe Institute. The purpose of the institute is
to work with the mind to help people discover their true selves. Before
encountering this book, this reviewer had no idea the military used this
institute, or these tactics, for training. Anyone who wants to know more about
the military, about the author, and what it's like to undergo this type of
training, will find this book a must-read.
Production-wise,
the book is lovely. The cover has a wonderful texture. The silhouette of a wolf
is appropriate to the author's account. The back cover copy enlightens the
reader about the book, and the book lives up to its promise. The author's photo
and bio are great. Endorsements would have been welcome, but because of the
sensitive nature of the story, it's understandable why the author didn't seek
those. However, they still would have been nice to have.
The author mentions
that this copy is a redux, shortened by 20,000 words from the original. The
account still holds together well. Though this reviewer didn't read the first
book, the missing words aren't evident, and there don’t seem to be holes in the
story. All in all, a great account that only this author could write. And, yes,
this reviewer believes his story.
