Summary: Praise for Wisemen: The Awakening
Review: I am an avid reader and it is rare that I find a book that would warrant a rating of "5". But this book was not only a great story that thoroughly entertained me, it has affected me on several levels. First, it both freightened and pleased me by causing me to question the underlying meaning of some life situations and the issue of mortality itself. Second, the book raised questions about morality, leading me to explore my own ethics and question how I would react if I was faced with the same choices that the people in this book make. "What would I decide and how easily would I reach that decision?" Finally, when I read the last page, it was one of those books that left me wandering around for days feeling like something was "missing". What was missing was the daily contact with the characters that had woven themselves into my life. I understand there is to be a sequel and I can hardly wait!!

I highly recommend Wisemen: The Awakening. Although this book is a supernatural thriller on the surface, it goes beyond the sheer entertainment value. It causes an "awakening" in the reader to possibilities beyond what we see as "real" and to what is inside themselves. Move over Steven King, Levi Wayne is coming through with one hell of a story and a portal into in the readers soul!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wisemen is nothing less than "Bone Chilling"
Review: I am not an avid reader of suspense thrillers however I happened to pick this book up after reading many great reviews. I have always enjoyed Steven King movies and thought that a book like this could relax me before bedtime. Unfortunately, the book was NOT relaxing at all; it was simply "Bone Chilling". Not only that, after starting the book, I simply could not put it down. Needless to say I was up until the wee hours of the morning reading and could not get any sleep. I am still having nightmares. If you enjoy being sleep deprived and being tormented with nightmares, this book is for you. I can't wait until Mr. Wayne writes a sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: UNBELIEVEABLE
Review: I enjoy reading and this one is a must. Even if the reader is not an avid horror or suspense fan, they will enjoy this book. The story carries its reader right up to the climactic ending, begging for a sequel. I sure would like to see this book made into a movie. Action, passion, suspense and more. Levi Wayne is awesome!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mr KING WHO????????
Review: Look-Out KING!!! This book made me sweat from top to bottom. The ole ticker (HEART) was pounding so loud, my cat ran under the bed. Is the story true or false? Only the author knows... PLEASE TELL ME!!!. I will never dream the same way. If I ever hear a thunderstorm again I will make sure that the ear plugs are in and the music is on the JAZZ station. One more question? IS THIS FICTION OR NOT!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Mind Challenging Experience!!
Review: There are not many books that I've read which I have been unable to put down, but this is definitely one of them!! A must read for those who enjoy the paranormal. Thought provoking from cover to cover, this book leaves you wondering "what if?". If ever there was a book that would make a great movie, this is it!! Can't wait for the next episode to be printed! Great job Levi!! Keep it up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MUST READ!!
Review: This book is very, very hard to put down. It is an eerily mysterious, yet believable, story with supernatural and moral themes and overtones. I found myself looking forward, each night, to picking up where I had left off the night before. It's addictive!

And since the "proof of the pudding is in the tasting," I look forward to a possible sequel to sample more of this promising new author's literary servings. Can the Wisemen be stopped? Should they be stopped? Or do they represent a disturbing yet inevitable new future?

A final point: the book is particularly entertaining for New Hampshire residents because - while many of the key locations are fictitious - Mr. Wayne deftly weaves into the story other, actual New Hampshire sites. Thus, one can more readily identify with the characters as they wend their way, often under great duress, from Concord, NH, to the Lakes Region and back. I could actually visualize the drive!

If you like mystery and intrigue, with science-fiction ambience, you won't be disappointed. It's also great to see a New Hampshire native and writer do such good work. I eagerly look forward to the sequel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mr KING WHO????????
Review: Wisemen is a step above the norm. The main characters are realistic and believable, with normal human emotions, temptations and shortcomings they struggle with. Once started the book compels one to read it until completed. And once completed it leaves you waiting in anticipation for the next book, which you know must be in the making. If you are familiar with New Hampshire or a native of New Hampshire, Levi's realistic description of the NH setting adds to the enjoyment of this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Adventure
Review: Wisemen the Awakening by Levi Wayne is a suspenseful thriller.The story begins with interesting characters and character developement. The author develops the setting very well. The setting is somewhere anyone might want to live. The characters get more and more interesting as the plot develops. Once Levi sets up the background, it becomes an action packed mystery. It keeps going and you can not put it down. It is fast paced and thrilling at the same time. He magically mixes modern times and historical interests and blends them beautifully.
The Wisemen are a thought provoking group and it certainly entertains the imagination, it makes you wonder... and wonder!

Rating: 5 stars
