sword of eternity

by douglas laurent   Mar 23, 2021


The days became for Christina endless preparation. Ceaseless winds tore through her massing battle ranks, the grey cold sun above marking the timeless date. With skies of blue and cloud overhead, driving, uncompromising time stood still, lingering, as if giving Christina precious eons to perfect her shaving straight razor cuts of mind and sword. She worked alone now, forging the essence of herself in the policies and ways of hammer and anvil, pounding away with the classic, living Japanese blade. Her deft hands spun dervishly, wroughting out the iron of her will, fashioning a lethal, anciently unrelenting “jagged” katarr?xian blade-mind remade unto her.

      i'll send ya the book. its on amazon by douglas Laurent that's me, just say so. lotta spiritual stuff. quotes on the internet like on lovein quotes, see Goodreads . a review:

      Laurent has a unique style of writing that in itself causes the reader to think in a more focused way than usual. The story line is intricate and engaging. It causes you to want to skip ahead to see what’s next. But to do so would ruin the “picture” that he is “painting” with words. He is a wordsmith who values a well turned phrase. His characters are portrayed in exceptional depth and very colorful. The verbal exchanges are intricate. His use of satire and wit are very enjoyable. The way that the battle scenes are portrayed make you feel as if you’re standing on the sidelines of an arena, watching the opponent’s fighting for an advantage through their different styles of combat. This is a story of grand vistas, Complex characters, intense battles, and exceptional style. A 5 Star read that is worth the time and money.
