REVIEW
One Great Year
by Tamara Veitch and Rene DeFazio
O
One Great Year is a cosmic
saga that follows the tempestuous loves and conflicts
of its three main characters
across the 26 millennia of
the axial precession or Great
Year, from the time of Atlantis
to the present.
A
s they weave their way
through multiple incarnations, they bring to
life the complex dance
of relationships believed
by many in esoteric circles to occur within soul
groups in order to work
out their karmic destiny.
The love triangle between Theron, Marcus and Helghul sets the stage for an exploration of love and
longing, passion and rejection, anger and jealousy,
ambition and service, good and evil – in short all of
the primal passions, dark forces and noble impulses animating the human spirit. They are followed
through wars, cultural flowerings and conflicts
throughout history to an apocalyptic climax.
The book is very visual and
visceral, and would make a
fantastic movie...
44 | NEW CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW
The action and the narrative are brilliantly realized, and the authors build upon historical records
as well as myths and legends to re-create the eras
of Plato and Genghis Khan, for example, which are
then overlaid with the character, lives, lusts, and
enmity of the protagonists. The book is very visual and visceral, and would make a fantastic movie,
although it might be a challenge to translate the
epic scope of this book into a two-hour screenplay.
A gripping and absorbing read that brings to life
most of the esoteric themes of the New Age.
