“Isn’t it just so great when you find one of those books that completely drags you in, makes you fall in love with the characters, and demands that you sit on the edge of your seat for every intense, nail-biting moment of it? This is one of those books for me. And I must issue a serious content warning: this book explores some very divisive ideas. Proceed with caution (or not at all) if you are particularly sensitive to matters concerning politics and religion. This book is like the dystopian Lord of the Rings, with its richly developed culture and economics. The world-building is so fully fleshed out and spine-tinglingly terrifying I got the chills so many times toward the end of this book. It completely blew my mind. It managed to surpass my high expectations AND be nothing at all like I expected. I can’t imagine how challenging it would be to tackle the concepts and forewarning involved in writing a novel as telling as this in our current economical/political climate. With an unapologetically realistic delivery packed with emotion, Shadows of Giants is a crucially important portrayal of the current political economic landscape and gives hope for the future with nuggets of gold advice peppered throughout for us to find and apply to our daily lives. I have no doubt that this book will be met with resistance by some (possibly many) and slapped with a “controversial” label, but if you’ve ever wondered what our futures holds if we keep moving down this highway to mediocrity and less as a society, then I feel like this is an unflinchingly honest place to start.”

“For Everyone from High School to Retirement! “The Shadow of Giants” is a captivating book that I enjoyed immensely! The author grabs hold of the reader with the strike of lightening and never lets them go. The audience is taken on an ever changing emotional and informational roller coaster ride, as the star character along with his family and close friends confront the destiny of humanity. The science fiction of new technology is fun, captivating and tightly intertwined in a family full of love, emotion, humor, respect, and plenty of suspense filled adventure and surprises. Through many of the characters, but mostly the star character, the writer present perspectives of human nature, how society and government is manipulated and mostly the learning’s of morality. Many readers will find the lessons, perspectives and ideas presented in the book will be a refreshing inspiration as to where they would like to see the real world follow along, while other readers may find these same concepts to be pure fiction, nonsensical and down right insulting, and the author will clearly make the reader know which camp they reside in! There are many profound lessons, and concepts to be taken from this novel that will give the reader plenty to think about(and they should) once they finally put the book down. I think anyone from high school to retirement will find this book entrancing and educational and in a few areas it may even leave you wondering whether something is fact or fiction. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of books 2 and 3!”

“This book puts a face on the demons we all know exist and flourish at our expense. I have known Gerald (Gary) for quite a few years. In that time, I never realized the depth of his intelligence. I’ll get one criticism out of the way, because it is minor considering the whole picture, Gerald is in need of a professional editor. Outside of some grammar and punctuation mistakes, the book is phenomenal. The reader becomes immersed in a world we suspect exists behind the scenes, bht are now shown how it operates, and why. The characters are brought to life in grand fashion. Anyone who reads this book will wish with all their heart that “Iggy” would step up and save our world. Make no mistake though, the world, as portrayed in this book, will ring genuine and frightening. It will remind that we, and only we, as the citizens of that world, can save it. The scary thing is, “Iggy” and his actions, are the product of a genius imagination. The rest I’m afraid, is all too real. Read this book!”

THE CHARACTERS SPEAK

Every now and then, the universe appoints prime movers. Given no choice, destiny grants them the helm as existence unfolds.

Melanie Coletta-Marcus

Music is food for the soul. It can elevate the spirit, tranquilize the mind, inspire men to battle, surround the heart during love and sorrow or simply bolster laughter and exhilaration. It does none of these things when it is the vomit of cacophony.

Alberto Coletta

Our children are unwritten books of blank pages. What we write will be what shapes the future and the world we hand to our posterity.

Jack Marcus

Every opportunity is ultimately defined by acceptance or rejection and becomes the measure of each person’s life. So, we choose: Big Life or Little Life.

Rebecca Marcus

Every moment is a pinnacle of joy when each new challenge bears the signature of accomplishment.

A better wine I have not tasted, than that of knowledge. The grapes are many. Some are bad. The idea is to find the right vintage… And then there is love!

Iggy Marcus

Self-respect…the root of self-image, springs from the ego, defines character and always comes from within. Anything else is just someone’s irrelevant opinion.

Senator Jake Dorian

The law, our conscience and codified guide defining transgressions by individuals or groups against others, is a direct, proportionate description of man’s propensity to do violence to his fellow man.

Louie Petro

When morality is subject to opinion, and not set in the mortar of common sense, we have what exists in the world today… Everyone at each other’s throats.

Tom Rickart

On money: It is the great liberator. Without it, we revert to the club…. Then greed, avarice and thievery rule the day.

Bret Marcus

When individuals depend on government and its proffered solutions, they truly become indistinguishable members of the herd.

Lucky Marcus

I have read that life’s three greatest tribulations are the death of a loved one, divorce, and moving. If I have to endure one, I guess I’ll go with the moving. I’ve done it and it beats the other two options… But not by much.

Jack Fletcher

Beauty does not always lie in the eye of the beholder. It is rarely a matter of opinion, but pure, authentic and subtle with its own unique identity often hidden beneath effort, emerging only after sunrise.

Sarah Louise Billings

Envy can only exist when we subjugate our worth to other’s opinions. Then we waste Life, staring in the mirror of their achievements, instead of creating a legacy of our own.

Lindy Marcus

We live, we dream, we hope, we travel the course. A life defined by achievement becomes its own measure. Shouldered burden, adversity, failure, success; are the source. In the final hour, those, not possessions, are the real treasure.

Iggy Marcus

The substance of genuine freedom never lies around us. It resides exclusively within the subliminal walls we erect to defend our essence of character and intellect.

Jack Marcus

The universe, always surreptitious, yet rarely tenuous, begs to divulge its hidden mysteries, but only to the scrupulous mind with unclouded vision.

Gloria Marcus

Genuine, immutable love, life’s greatest gift, never bargains or negotiates, is never petulant, selfish, or demanding, and can only abide and thrive in the virtuous.

Carmela Coletta

The day will come when duty calls…as adversaries breach the walls…each must choose to take the stand…with sinew flexed and sword in hand…discharge obligation with great temerity…and so, pass our fathers’ gift to posterity

Dr. David Peterson

Fate and tomorrow often balance on the razor-edge of a sword grasped by the hand of a lunatic.

Taio Chen

Nothing is set in stone until history makes it so. Then, its legitimacy, substance, and validity are in the hands of corrupt, opinionated, or at least politically owned historians.

First Lady Alice Sledge

Those who look to the past covet reclamation. Those who look to the future are harbingers of innovation.

Dr. Marcos Boli

All who carve their initials in granite, for good or ill leave their mark on the planet. Those who scribble their names in sand, leave heirs nothing from an impotent hand.

Even if the stars and planets align, and the universe moves as planned, Murphy never sleeps … and the s**t can still hit the fan. Please forgive the colloquialism.
