Description
Sequel to previously published novel, The Horseman (Hollis Books,
VA, 1999), and part of the Lands of the Morning Series, The Scorpion
Child is independently plotted and it's a gritty, exciting,
controversial novel or reincarnation. Enter Ariadne's dangerous, exotic
world, if you dare, for The Scorpion Child might make you a believer!
American stage and screen star Daniel Saxon, Ariadne (an American
expatriate novelist married to a Turk) and Burhan Kayhanolu (he is an
Advisor to the Turkish Military Junta ) are the protagonists, which is a
fast-paced, colorful and controversial political thriller. The plot
flows between New York, California and Istanbul, on a cinemascopic reel
of romance, high-stakes terrorism, sex, intrigue, and subtle
undercurrents of mysticism as well as reincarnation, the idea of the
latter presented in a no-nonsense, thought-provoking manner.
From
the Publisher
Although part of Lands of the Morning Quintet series, The
Scorpion Child is independently plotted, and is the sequel to the
critically acclaimed novel, The Horseman.

related, yet independently plotted epic novels (each story stands on its
own).

I've packed my bags to fly to Istanbul!, March 12, 2001
Reviewer: from Upstate, New York
I am a 30 year old medical researcher, and having read The Horseman,
which is the prequel to The Scorpion Child, I could not wait to read The
Scorpion Child! This one is shorter, a fast read, yet just as exciting
as The Horseman, and the characters, from Ariadne to Daniel, to Burhan,
are hard to forget. I enjoyed the time I spent in their world. Now, I am
planning to fly to exotic Istanbul, Turkey, just to feel, see, and touch
the beguiling locales featured in this novel! P.S: I saw the other
reviewer mention reincarnation, and how he began to wonder about it.
Interestingly, this is how I feel, too, my logic says reincarnation is a
pipe-dream, and yet... do we really know everything about how God's
design for us, works?

Have I lived before? The Scorpion Child makes me wonder!, March
8, 2001
Reviewer: A reader from New York, New York
Have I lived before? Orient-Express type books makes me wonder I am a 35
year old artist and multi-media web designer from New York, and do not
have much time to keep up with the latest releases. However, friend who
has read this novel's prequel, The Horseman, which also deals with
reincarnation and is quite exotic, praised it, and I got curious and
ordered it from the publishing house. Well, this is a suspense-thriller
with unusual and exotic backdrops. Sexy and fast moving, never
boring,from New York to Istanbul,politics, high-stakes terrorism,a
sympathetic and courageous heroine, and yes, reincarnation is in the
core. As I read the novel in between breaks from my heavy work load, I
felt like I had a window seat on the Orient Express and pondered the
question: is it the soul that reincarnates, or the genes? Even though I
finished reading this novel, I still wonder...
