Starry Wisdom by Peter Levenda
This third novel in the trilogy that began with The Lovecraft Code and continued with Dunwich concludes the globe-spanning tale of Professor Gregory Angell and his attempt to keep the Necronomicon out of the clutches of a gaggle of secret societies, and his life out of the grasp of terrorists and intelligence agents.
Angell makes his way back to the Americas after trekking across Central Asia and China and sailing the South China Sea to Indonesia. In the meantime, the search for the missing professor and the all-important book consumes Dwight Monroe and his team, while a string of murders in New Orleans baffles Detective Cuneo and brings NYPD Lieutenant Wasserman out of retirement.
At the same time, Jamila, the young Yezidi woman with a strange paranormal ability and a deadly aim, finds herself on a mission in the United States to take out the man who destroyed her village. And a distraught mother whose two sons were abducted by a sinister being is now pregnant with another child and travels around the country looking for answers in gatherings of UFO contactees and the rites of a voodoo priestess where she will have to confront a mind-bending truth.
They all find themselves drawn together at a building in one of America’s iconic cities at a house with a bizarre architecture that is based on a strange but sacred geometry–a geometry that’s designed to call down something from the stars.
Based on themes from the works of H. P. Lovecraft, especially “The Haunter of the Dark” where the mysterious Shining Trapezohedron makes its appearance, Starry Wisdom ties together the various strands of occult knowledge, political intrigue, and pop culture that are woven through the first two books.
Hailed by author Christopher Farnsworth (Red, White and Blood, and The President’s Vampire) as a “more intelligent Da Vinci Code” and by Whitley Strieber (Communion, The Wolfen, and The Hunger) as “a riveting work of fiction,” this book will thrill ancient aliens’ fans and Lovecraft aficionados and is supported by the genuine scholarship of occultists, terrorists, military leaders, and intelligence agents.

Review: Tall, Dark and Elusive by Sharon Day
Tall, Dark, and Elusive

Tall, Dark, and Elusive is the second book of the A Seek Team Adventures by Sharon Day and should be available in October. While you don’t need to read the first book A Ghost of a Chance, I’d strongly recommend it. Knowing the story from Ghost will add a lot of depth to some of the dialogue in Tall, Dark and Elusive.
In this edition, Isabeau “Beau” Fraser and her team seek the elusive Bigfoot. I have to admit that I’m not really a romance story enthusiast but I really loved the setting and the Bigfoot research. It wasn’t hard to find myself hooked on an excellent story.
The characters are rich, deep, and nicely fleshed out. As I got to know them, I could almost anticipate what they were about to say. Of course, my favorite character would have to be Marco Petrov. There is simply something about him, both good and bad, that I identify with.
As the air turns crisp and cool, nothing beats a good cozy romance tale. Simply put, Tall, Dark, and Elusive is an excellent read and I highly recommend it.
