Edward's psychic thriller fails to deliver much spiritual depthJohn Edward's second novel, a supernatural thriller, is more "thriller" than "supernatural." Co-written by Natasha Stoynoff, Final Beginnings offers a quick beach read with a reasonably suspenseful story. However, I was disappointed by its lack of spiritual exploration. Spiritual/metaphysical content: Low. Given John Edward's international reputation as a psychic medium and author of seven books, I expected a more substantial metaphysical or spiritual foundation for Final Beginnings. Instead, the book follows the currently fashionable practice of hanging a traditional potboiler on a psychic hook. I was hoping to get a glimpse of how a world-famous medium views our culture in general and contemporary metaphysics in particular, but the psychic's character in the novel isn't very well developed. The story culminates in a midtown Manhattan tunnel, where each of the four families' psychological and spiritual trauma is healed and the loose ends are neatly tied up. However, the bulk of the story doesn't incorporate much spiritual depth, which could have made the characters more believable and the story less predictable. My take: As a taut-paced thriller that uses the visceral memory of 9/11 to rachet up the tension, the book is fairly successful. Edward's second novel is easy to read and is reasonably well written. However, I found the lack of spiritual and metaphysical depth disappointing. Despite the implicit promise of a novel written by a psychic medium, the theme includes few ideas that characterize new age thought. There's nothing wrong with the book; but from the perspective of new age fiction, there isn't much right about it either.For more reviews of new age novels, see Fiction For A New Age.

Exciting inspirational fiction from John Edward Four families, one tunnel...and the survival of the country at stake: psychic medium John Edward sets his suspenseful second novel against a backdrop of serial terrorist attacks in New York City. Drawing from his expertise in psychic phenomena, Edward spins a supernatural thriller that culminates in a midtown Manhattan tunnel where the lives and deaths of his four central characters converge. Reminiscent of the tragedy that is carried in the hearts of Americans, these interwoven tales of love, faith, good, and evil answer the questions Edward is often asked: Do we choose the time when we die? Does everything happen for a reason? Do our loved ones guide us from the Other Side? This fictional narrative will strike an emotional chord with readers while sending a message of universal healing.
