Reconciliation, the first book of the trilogy, can be read on two levels, the literal and the metaphorical. Literally, the book is an exciting read. Metaphorically, it is a subtle invitation to the reader to consider the place of spirit within the cosmos and within themselves...I highly recommend reading Mr. Stanton's Reconciliation, the first book of his Bloodlight Chronicles trilogy. It is well written, engaging, and provides us with a fascinating blend of cyberpunk and spiritual themes. This is a book that will stay with the reader; it offers us much to think about.
