Imagine you had the power to move mountains, to divide a gushing river with a wave of the hand. Imagine you could see into the future and walk in the spirit realm, where all the secrets of life on Earth have been hidden—the cures for plagues, the unseen actions behind wars, and the reasons behind broken relationships. Imagine you could see the causes of people’s pain from visions or dreams. Imagine that all the leaders of the world had a spiritual counterpart that, if removed, would change the very course of leadership and history.All these themes are covered in the spiritual fantasy series, The Sons of Thunder.
The first book, The Son of Nepal, is about the inner conflicts of a young man who embarks on a difficult journey across China to find the Great Spirit. His challenging quest is rewarded with an almighty power, a thirst for knowledge, a greater mission, and an unusual friendship.
The second book, Let the Earth Tremble, will be out mid-summer. It’s set over a thousand years before The Son of Nepal.
The Great One has descended and demolished the city of Atlantis. The god of the temple, Poseidon, and a multitude of high-ranking spirits break free from their sculptures of worship to escape the Great One’s wrath. They flee to the great lands of the East where they endeavour to rebuild their mighty kingdom. As a result of their presence, wars break out in the mortal realm of ancient China.
Unbeknown to the people, a foreign spirit of famine, the Majabuta, who resides within a charm, is given as a gift to a peasant woman during the Qin Dynasty. The spirit conquers the whole of China in the spirit realm, granting a favourable advantage in war for the mortal king. The favour of the Majabuta rests with the Qin Dynasty, but there is a cost.
A little peasant girl befriends a sullen, unfriendly old man who sits all day and night under a paulownia tree in her village. Soon, however, she discovers that he is more than just some old man, and her journey towards greatness and enlightenment begins.

Many people have said that to me. They could see a film. But with some of the events that happens in the stories, it would take a lot of money to make the scenes, lol.

It’s funny that you have said that. A few years ago, a film production company wanted to make it into an anime style animation. I met with the script writer and everything.

The Son of Nepal is actually one of my favorite books in the last few months. It reminds me little of myself few years ago. I just came here to support your recommendation.

I wasn’t able to read for about 6 months due to an vision disorder, but now that I can, more or less, I will definitely read the Sons of Nepal. I like that fact that is appears to have a strong moral imperative and a thirst for knowledge! Awesome! K. D. 🙂
