Sentinel of the Light seems like a great novel. I like that the book explores parapsychology through the characters. I'm curious about how things will turn out for Dave, Anna and Spud. This book is perfect for people who like sci-fi and the paranormal fiction genre. Congratulations on making botd!

In "Sentinel of the Light: Awakening" by Dennis W Rhoades, Spud seeks answers about his friend Dave's mysterious condition, leading them into the realm of parapsychology with Professor Hamilton. The book explores themes of friendship, trust, self-discovery, and the paranormal, blurring the lines between parapsychology and magic.

I haven't yet read a book dealing with parapsychology and I'm thrilled to start this. But the confusion as whether it's parapsychology or magic doesn't interest me. This is a well-written review!

Dave's experience turns out to be a rampant phenomenon in our modern society. There is a lot to learn from the novel's theme of friendship, exemplified through the relationships between Spud and Dave, and later Anna. The themes of trust, self-discovery, deceit, and emotional trauma. Good job by the author. Congratulations on #BOTD!

This is a very great fictional story. The author did a very nice job in captivating readers attentions and curiosity from the very beginning. What interests me about the book is the fact that Dave is a medical student and he had to fight for his life in the ER, that paints a very catchy picture that won't leave the reader's head easily. Overall the book is nice and great, the writer just needs to adjust on the character development part.

I believe building upon each of these characters storyline that this novel can be turned into a movie or television series. I'm not much of a sci-fi/fantasy reader but I will read a book in this genre if they overall story is compelling and engaging. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

This science fiction fantasy book is about David, a medical student who had pneumonia and died as a result. He saw the light and black and heard a voice asking him to make a decision while the doctors worked to bring him back. Upon perusing an sample from the book, the author effectively captures your interest with Dave, the protagonist, being admitted to the emergency room due to pneumonia. I concur that this is a really great beginning, as noted in the review. When I read the sample, the book seemed incredibly interesting.I appreciate your comprehensive assessment!

I believe that's one book we should make a movie on. It's just from page one you don't want to let the book out of site. It's breathtaking home . Maybe one day I would like to own one. I believe the book is about to different times which coexist. Look out readers this one may make you forget relationship

A plot revolving around parapsychology is too good to pass up! Despite its shortcomings, I wish to check Sentinel of the Light out soon. Congrats on the BOTD!

Sentinel of the Light

A self discovery book that includes paranormal activity. Is it normal that it’s real to some and not real to others. Science is always understood in a different way depending on the person and situation. A medical student battles with his own personal experience which led him to discover who he is. On a personal note, we are very intelligent beings that need more books related to this very topic.

Thanks for the review, this science fiction fantasy book is about David, a medical student who had pneumonia and died as a result. He saw the light and black and heard a voice asking him to make a decision while the doctors worked to bring him back. This book is interesting, though it seems to have a lot of potential but without in-depth character development. I hope the author has another look at the book, works on the subplots and the character development. It's a great book to read.

If judging by the cover alone, I honestly thought this book to be a non-fiction work. Im glad to know that this a fantasy book and the parapsychology aroused my curiosity. Its because of the self discovery written in fiction format is what caused me to add this to my tbr list. Congrats on being the #botd.

Thank you for the excellent review of "Sentinel of the Light" by Dennis W. Rhoades.
The book starts in a captivating way and unfolds with many themes but needs work. A medical student involved with finding himself and becoming involved with parapsychology and magic has loads of possibilities. This book sounds intriguing. With more thorough character development and delineation on the subplots along with other necessary revisions, perhaps it could be a best-seller!
