A Brush With Myself: My Near-Death Experience and its Implications, Second Edition

By Daryl J. Koerth

This short book is my account of a near-death experience I had when my body ran out of vitamin B1. I died, got shocked back to the mortal coil, and spent a little time in a coma. I woke up with brain damage that changed my life. This is what I experienced on the "other side."

Prophet Margin - Book 3 in The Sentinel Saga. Lies, manipulation, money, and religious fervor have never been a good mix. Having narrowly avoided a nuclear war, the world turns to religion as they collect themselves. Unfortunately, the religious figures that stand out the most are prophets whose messages are whipping the world back into a frenzy. This is not a coincidence. Their collective rhetoric is very intentional, and very dangerous. The Sentinel must untangle the mystery of these false prophets and their endgame before war erupts.

It’s not a work of fiction, and I promise that nothing in this, or the first edition, is a lie. The first edition simply wasn’t complete, because I was terrified – for a number of reasons – to write down and publish some things for anybody on the planet to read.

I’m going to do that now.

Did I mention that I was scared? Folks, I’m mortified. Just reading through this book triggers my PTSD in all sorts of ways. When I say, I’m scared, I’m really not joking.

I’ll start my explanation there.

First, when I died, I got some brain damage. Several things were affected – vision, speech, balance, et cetera – including one I didn’t expect: the parts of my brain that categorize, compartmentalize, and process fear. The end result
