Rising World Trilogy #2
Journey Through the Mirror
Following Journey Into the Flame —“a spiritual adventure of the first order� ( New York Times bestselling author Felix Palma)—comes the second part in a post-apocalyptic trilogy about a set of ancient books that hold the key to humanity’s survival.
In 2030, after the Great Disruption brought humanity to the brink of a second dark age, the Chronicles of Satraya were discovered, restoring hope in the world. But the secret powers in their pages remained largely unknown.
There were some, however, who understood them. The Reges Hominum, the Kings of Men, a clandestine group influencing history from the shadows, sought to use their hidden gifts to regain world control. But their plans were foiled by an unlikely Alain Perrot, an eccentric old man and former member of the Council of Satraya; Special Agent Valerie Perrot, his daughter; and Logan Ford, a young painter who discovered he was the son of one of the Chronicles� original finders, long since murdered in an effort to protect them.
Soon, seemingly unrelated global events pull Logan and his allies into another contest with those enemies determined to bring a rising world back down. The earth’s still-recovering energy supply is put at risk. Illnesses spread. Earthquakes without epicenters shatter the land. And the only things holding the world together are the Chronicles, connected to a series of scattered, hidden mirrors around the globe.
With T.R. Williams’s trademark excitement, mystery, magic, and deep wisdom, the second book in the Rising World trilogy ensures that you will never look at your reflection the same way again.

Great series but have been unsuccessful in finding the third of the series.

This book is the sequel to Journey into the flames. This book picks up where the other left off and is just as fast paced and edge of the seat. It introduces us to some of Nikola Tesla’s technology which gives the book some depth without making it a hard read. This time the book takes us beyond the flame and into the more advance discipline of mirror focus. Like the first book in the series, I could not put this book down. I eagerly await the next book Journey past time.

I received an ARC of this book.
This book was hard to get into, primarily because it is the second installment of a fascinating story (and I did not have a copy of the first volume). I feel that these books should be read consecutively because of frequent mention of previous events and characters.
I will look for the first Rising World book.

this is a great follow up to book 1 (Journey into the flame) for this trilogy. T.R. Williams writes with great ability to combine science fiction, mystery and political thriller all into one storyline. We have the next generation trying to gather the ancient books and interpret the meanings from the ancient visitors. Can't wait for book three.
