LORDS OF LIGHT

In an age-old story of good versus evil, Chopra has created a fantastic tale full of mysticism, science fiction and religion. Michael Aulden, an American doctor, represents the good that can save the world; Ishmael, the Prophet, represents the good or evil that can ultimately destroy the world. In their eternal battle, Chopra presents and mixes together (not always correctly) the mystical beliefs of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to bring about Armageddon. Corbett illuminates the narration with inspired phrasing and characterization that make this unbelievable story ring with truth. Suspend your disbelief, and this didactic tale may inspire you to explore your religion's mystical beliefs. M.B.K. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 99]
