Steven Forrest

Same ISBN as the 1989 edition, but different title

I had a lot of fun reading this quick-paced, modern mystery novel from such a wonderful writer. Steven had me hooked on turning pages, something he's done to me more than once before! The main character, Plato Mims, ends up using some very smart clues based on his knowledge of astronomy and astrology, and I thought this element was handled in just the right way.

In typical Forrest language: metaphoric and penetrating. Forrest's perspective of Free Will astrology is refreshing and empowering. Ultimately each of us must resonate with the profound dynamics of Pluto (planet or asteroid, it matters not!) in order to dis-integrate that in our lives which has outlived its usefulness.

The first astrology I read, back in 1985. Forrest's Jungian Archetypal metaphors launch tired old astrology chiches out of their superstition-encrusted boxes. All call for poet-astrologers.
