Description
The Superyogi Scenario is a fresh new take on the superhero story that packs a philosophical punch. Instead of getting supernatural powers from radiation or spider bites, powers are developed through yoga and meditation.
Drawing from authentic verses in The Yoga Sutra, this thought-provoking thriller envisions yogic supernatural abilities rising among the world’s growing population of yoga practitioners—and wild consequences when heroes and villains emerge.
A Note From the Publisher
ISBN 978-0-9861469-1-6.
After completing a three-year isolated meditation and yoga retreat in the high-desert mountains of Arizona, James Connor felt compelled to publish stories that allow readers to experience deep wisdom gained from his fifteen years of detailed Buddhist and yoga training. Following in the footsteps of his story-telling idols C.S. Lewis, Neil Gaiman, and the Wachowskis, James is a firm believer in combining philosophy with fun.
The illustrated editions feature seven character renderings of the heroes and villains.
Genres: Sci Fi & Fantasy, Mystery & Thrillers, Religion & Spirituality.
Advance Praise
The supernatural meets the spiritual in this unusual, endearing thriller. In his debut novel, Connor may have carved out a new subgenre.
— Kirkus Reviews
With this fun book, both yogis and comic-book lovers will be inspired. Entertaining, engaging, and thought provoking, The Superyogi Scenario has something for everyone. Practitioners of yoga will find themselves looking up comics; comic-book fans will be inspired to book a yoga session. Everyone will look for the next installment in this series.
— Foreward Reviews
"The Superyogi Scenario is a novel with a difference; and in a world replete with novels, this story is a standout. The Superyogi Scenario is exceptional both in its basic concept and in its development: something that crosses genres with a confident combination of action, philosophy, and intriguingly different concepts on what makes a superhero - or, a supervillain."
— Diane Donovan, Senior Book Reviewer, Midwest Book Reviews
"James Connor’s The Superyogi Scenario wraps a superhero tale around a spiritual adventure. Grab your yoga mat along with this book, and be prepared for a fast-moving, delightfully different novel."
—Jeffrey Small, bestselling author of The Breath of God and The Jericho Deception
“The Superyogi Scenario conveys essential ideas of the yogic path—with boots and capes!”
— Professor Edwin F. Bryant, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: A New Edition, Translation, and Commentary
— Lama Marut, author of A Spiritual Renegade’s Guide to the Good Life and Be Nobody.
