I enjoyed reading this book. While I have not yet read the first book, I was able to follow this story without any issues. this is a different genre than I usually read, and I found the story interesting. It was interesting to read a story utilizing the idea of multiple dimensions. I hope to come across a copy of the previous book in this series.

Book Review of the Wanderers on Earth by Nicole Harmon
Title: The Wanderers on Earth
Author: Susan Plunket
Date of Publication: 2020
Publisher: Cosmic Egg an imprint of John Hunt Publishing Ltd.

Book Blurb: "Welcoming him inside her, she opened to him, body and soul, until he reached the sweetness of her being and knew her to be himself. After a separation of twenty-one Earth years, they were again one being. Their sexual union opened the memory of their identity as citizens of the Violet Planet. Touching Attivio heightened Soonam's power of psychometry. She saw them training on Venus for this mission to Earth. She saw their first meeting on the Violet Planet and images of their friends throughout this galaxy and in distant galaxies. By morning, nothing of their past lay hidden, extinguished, or forgotten. They now knew themselves to be wanderers to Earth who had come on a mission." Loc. 828 of 3986
Summary and Analysis
This book was a journey through finding out a group of people's identity and purpose. Each of the group: Rose, Ephraim, Soonam, Attivio, Laaroos, Toomeh, Yosiko, Darpith, Lady Nada (Mary Magdalene), Lord Sananda (Jesus), Maepleida , Maggie, Heipleido, Horus, Ederah, Bereh (Arjuna), Veldemiron are all part of the game the Fifth Dimension. The Fifth Dimension doubles as the link between the world as we know it and the world as the wanderers know it. The video game allows the wanderers to protect the people of Earth all the while fighting the evil Darpith and Veldemiron. Other wanderers involved are Amerissis, Lady Portia, Saint Germain, Olympia (Sally), El Morya, as well. There are at last count six enemies of the good wanderers. You can read this book and think of it in two parts. Part I-Before Identifying as a Wanderer and then Part II-The Wanderers Fight for Humanity. All the leaders of the world are represented by the gods of Olympus (Zeus, Ares, Apollo, etc.). Part of their mission on Earth was to find and awaken other Wanderers such as themselves. A contest they ran in each of their respective states gave them persons who would eventually be wanderers. One such person was Miguel who along with his friend Carlos came to meet them. While both inside the game of the Fifth Dimension and outside of the game the wanderers fight unseen to protect the unsuspecting people of Earth from the evil endeavors of both Darpith and Veldemiron. But Darpith and Veldemiron are not friendly nor comrades. But both want to destroy the world, sow dissension and create hell on earth.
All of the wanderers fight with love to defeat the evil ones and despite losing at times they do succeed by the end of the book to keep the earth good and full of love.
I give this book 5 stars.
Originally I had it at 4 stars but by the end, I raised it to 5 stars. The reason for the raise was that I had to laugh at some of the inferences I made from the book. For instance, digs were made at the president of the United States, Donald Trump. Not just him but the administration. They also made digs at the other world leaders.
Then I thought about the federal government agencies that handle the law and criminals such as the FBI and the CIA.
I said to myself I can see why people think that science fiction heralds war, destruction, and domination. I can see why analysts read normal news stories and see big plots for the killing of Americans. I admit to having those thoughts when reading this book. However, keeping in mind that science fiction itself can go in any direction, the story itself discusses religion and the belief that good can and will triumph over evil. The people are not alone in their fight to right the wrongs. And in doing so create characters that people like. Even the evil ones. It may take you at least three to five days to read this book but it is well worth the week. I do recommend for the science fiction fans of the world this book.
Disclosure: I did receive this book from an agent of John Hunt Publishing to read and write a review for the company.

This is a great book. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. I recommend reading this book.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley and I firstly have to apologise for it being so long on my shelf. In mitigation I had to find and read the first in the series before going onto this one. The book currently has a rating of 5 on Goodreads, mainly because it only has one rating and in view of my upcoming thoughts I would like to see how this changes over time and get more opinion rather than simply rating.

The premise of the series is that on planets other than earth beings live in higher dimensions (5th or 6th) and in complete harmony. Although the presence of Darpith and Veldemiron and other dark beings might add dispute to that. In contrast Earth is a place of disharmony, political, societal, philosophical, spiritual and environmental unrest - near disaster in some Instances. The centre of one's harmony or (soul) appears to be in line with philosophical theories of Descartes and forms a huge part of the narrative.

There are things that I did like about the book and the narrative. The author has to be commended for the number of plates she kept spinning which carried the different narrative threads. The imagination put into the creation of different settings is well done. I liked the video gaming type approach to conquering the problems. The descriptions of the American President were amusing.

However for me the things I didn't like outweigh the good. As in the first book there is just too much repetition of events as we see the same learning take place in each of the eight main characters separately. They imagine their twin halves, discover their unusual capabilities etc etc almost ad nauseum. In addition it all seems just a bit too easy every time the dark side seems to get the upper hand the rainbows of light appear and all is well again. I was almost glad when for once this did not happen. It also felt just a little too negative about the world and the world's chances.

Having read the first and despite not being thrilled by it, I did want to go on and see what happened. Unfortunately that is not the case with this second book. I feel as if the author was commissioned to write a trilogy and that in so doing she has just made a cake with more filling than substance. It is just too saccharine for me.

It probably is worth more th.an a basic 2 stars but it just isn't possible for me to say I truly Liked it

I gave up on this book. All the promise was there for something kind of wonderful, however the construction and prose were both ponderous. I persevered for about a quarter of the book, hoping that we were going through a general scene setting, in the end however I was experiencing diminishing returns.

DNF 20%

The first 8 chapters of this book are a character index. Every chapter reads exactly the same way; who the character is, what their gift is and their near death experiences. Aside from the first character, nothing actually happens during any of these introductions. I personally don't find this to be a very engaging form of story telling, it is essentially just info dumping.

This seems to be a published copy and I'm not sure if there's been an issue with the kindle formatting, but this book also has a severe case of never-ending paragraphs.

I skipped ahead to see how the rest of the book was laid out and it seems to jump back and forth between the 8+ different povs.

I enjoyed the first chapter and it gave me high hopes but the remainder that I read I found to be too repetitive and lackluster for me to continue.

*I have not read the first book.

i really enjoyed reading this book, it was a good sequel to the first book, it had what i was looking for in this type of book and I really enjoyed it.

Was very disjointed. Could not finish it as it was difficult to follow. Perhaps one needs to read the first book. The premise seemed interesting which is why I selected it but ended up being disappointed
