    About this series

    The final chapter in the Enso wisdom-quest series follows our two heroes in search of their ultimate destinies ... beyond this life. Many people say there is no purpose in life, but there is ... you just have to search all your life to understand the mysteries ... not an easy task because the path is invisible and clouded with obscure clues. Our heroes do this through their experiences as all the prophets throughout time have advised. But just like the Tao ... many may know the way but few follow it.

      The Song Dynasty ... an orphaned boy, raised by the great philosopher, Zhu Xi … seeks answers to the mystery of his life and the universe … and a young girl, rebelling at society's restrictions, seeking the wisdoms of ancient healing. They find their answers and, through their experiences, become eternally entangled … for to them, eternity means no time.      Granny Panda once said, "Immortals are just ordinary people … who have done extra-ordinary things." With a small group of companions, they journey to Chang An, the ancient Tang capital. However, powerful forces are determined to stop them … all because of a new style tea? There must be something more here … some hidden meanings ... for this life ... and the afterlife.

      In Kochi, India, Yufei learns from an old Indian Guru. "The answers you seek are found at the birthplace of man … Gobekli Tepe … the same as on your amulet." Yufei is confused, "But I was told my amulet is from Mt. Kailash in the Himalayas." The old man smiles, "Gobekli and Kailash are not two places … how can they be?". A deadly new epidemic strikes Song China … a miracle herb from Arabia is discovered … but at a huge cost to the Imperial treasury … and wherever there are huge flows of gold … there are huge opportunities for corruption. When our young heroes discover the fake herb, it puts them and their loved ones in mortal danger. To help the Chinese people, our legendary heroes must embark on a perilous journey to Arabia to find the real miracle herb. … but at a devastating personal cost to Yufeng. All does not go well for Scorpion either, as he is captured by his old nemesis, the leader of the Brotherhood of Assassins. To succeed, they must overcome the Caliphate, the sultan of the Ayyubids, the Brotherhood of Assassins, and, as fugitives, the Chinese government forces. In Damascus, Yufei and Yufeng meet the great Jewish philosopher-physician, Moses Maimonides, who helps them overcome some hurdles and shares with them many of their shared ancient wisdoms and current Western medical practices. The Way to your immortality is through your experiences in this life.

      The golden threads of their lives lead to this final quest to unlock the secrets of Mt. Kailash … but who will survive the hostile physical challenges or the invisible dark manifestations from inside the void. And just as they enter the boundaryless void … Yufei senses Yufeng in danger … Yufei fails to find her … he struggles to rejoin this world … but the scene before him is frightening beyond words. But then … something totally unexpected happens that is … joyous beyond words … and a new traveler joins them on their pathway … to the ultimate destiny of all immortals … eternity. Capital intrigue, personal revenge, and fate send our legendary heroes on a new journey to fulfill their destiny …. but first they must survive a deadly Kara-buran (black sandstorm) and defeat a large force of jihadi warriors. Only then can they learn the secrets of Mt. Kailash and discover their part in this drama of … light versus darkness. At Mt. Kailash, Yufei and Yufeng will make the critical inner journey into the sacred mandala with Yufei's father, Scorpion, and Yufeng's new friend, Qime, a kidnapped and abused Tibetan slave woman they acquire in ChangAn. To Tibetans, the sacred Mandala represents the harmony of the Tibetan Buddhist universe. But, as they learned in Gobekli Tepe, that harmony was disrupted several millennium ago by dark manifestations. Since creation, there has been a balance between Light and Dark … but, over time, that balance has been disrupted. Their aim is to enter the void and hopefully restore balance to the Mandala of the Universe.

    I graduated from Bowdoin College in 1967 and spent most of the next 30 years as a real estate developer. In 1998, I moved to China. and over the next 25 years, traveled throughout the country and studied the history, culture, and philosophies of China, India, and other regions of the world (the Middle East, Christian lands, etc.). I have had a life-long burning desire to understand the mysteries of life. This quest has led me on many pathways … from acquiring and reading thousands of books, to trips to ancient temples, to solitary meditations on mountaintops and even visiting an ashram in India … and finally, one day, after all the many years, I found my answers. Then, in 2020-22, during the pandemic lockdown in China, I was invited to translate several Chinese historical books to be published in China. I enjoyed the endeavor so much that I embarked on writing about my search for the hidden meanings of the universe - hidden within the ancient texts … but set in an adventure novel story during Song Dynasty China. Fortunately, from my readings, I had a large database of ancient wisdom. During the epidemic, I wrote three books, The Enso Trilogy, which are the culmination of my life's golden thread. Each book in the trilogy focuses on a critical aspect of a spiritual life: enlightenment, fulfillment, and the afterlife. In Jan. 2023, while I was finishing the 3rd book, I contracted COVID. A few months later, a heart specialist told me I had a major problem in my heart valve which would require surgery to fix. I told her that I had done everything in my life and with the completion of these three books, I was ready for the next life (Socrates said it better). I read the other day, 'Sometimes we're afraid of something, because we're afraid of something else'. I think death is like that … people are afraid they won't finish something, but this fear is just a creation of our mind. I just finished Book IV (publish date Jan 2024) which delves into the backside of the universe's tapestry, to understand the divine purpose of it all. In this book, I write a lot about possibilities becoming probabilities and then becoming reality. It's about the journey after death and the purpose of my life. Thank you for reading my books.
