Publisher's summary

The coauthor of Beowulf’s Children strikes out on his own with this novel of mystic revelation and martial arts.

What if the disciplines we know as the martial arts, meditation, and fasting were mere fragments of a greater, more powerful killing art?

What if that hidden discipline could produce in a man the power to manipulate matter and energy at will?

What if the effect on the mind were so deadly that, uncontrolled, the result would be an inhuman killer?

And what if, unknowingly, a young man in modern-day Los Angeles were to stumble onto the secret, setting in motion The Kundalini Equation?

Critic reviews

“Barnes gives us characters that are vividly real people, conceived with insight and portrayed with compassion and rare skill - and then he stokes the suspense up to levels that will make the reader miss sleep and be late for work.” (Tim Powers, World Fantasy Award-winning author)

I read the book enjoyed the story many years ago. The audible version had me immersed!

Steven Barnes has a knack for drawing a person in with his writing! I enjoyed every minute of the recording. The voice actor did a great job! I recommend the audio book highly!

Informative & Entertaining!

The story took me on a journey that read more like a roller coaster than book. Performance was stupendous and what a beautiful ending. Didn’t see that coming at all. If you enjoy exploring new thought through the lens of entertainment, this is a title for you.
