"A remarkable, thought-provoking, and tender novel - both timeless and timely - Village of the Golden Gleam invites readers to dream, to feel, and to reflect on the golden gleam within us." Jeyran Main, Review Tales
“…the kind of novel that lingers quietly in the heart long after the last page is turned. It’s a rare thing: calm, wise, and utterly sincere. Highly recommended.” –– Pauli’s Exclusive
The non-human inhabitants of the Village of the Golden Gleam inhabit a paradise characterized by good cheer and innocence, which is on the verge of calamity and collapse. It is about an intrepid band of aliens who are forced to physically transform themselves to survive on Earth and who, over time, evolve to become profoundly human. Although they may not agree with the notion of being entirely human, it is nonetheless true that, deep down, they have evolved in that direction, perhaps more than they would prefer. The crisis that falls upon them is an unexpected rescue attempt 400 years after their arrival when it is far too late to go home. They can’t. How could they? They are too human. Oh well, it is okay because they have a new home now, a small village in the mountains beside a river—the village of the golden gleam. Life, what is it but a dream?
“…their strategy for long-term survival includes evolving to human form and adapting to human mores that, hopefully, will lead to seamless integration. The struggle to reach these goals employs the ultimate extension of today’s nascent AI technology while their cultural adaptation includes unique solutions to some of today’s most vexing issues. It is a great read. Once begun, it is hard to put down.” –– The Davenport Review
"John Talisker's whimsical novel, The Village of the Golden Gleam, gently presents us with big themes dealing with relationships, with change, and with love, loss, and dying. All these themes are interwoven within the magical village, offering an alien perspective that is almost human, but not quite." —Amazon Reviewer.
