Excerpt
CANDOR, THE EARTH SAYS HELLO?
Anyway, here’s the thing. It’s the final seconds of 1999, and the ball is dropping in Times Square, New York City. The dreaded Millennium Bug weighs heavily on everyone’s mind. The public had gradually become aware of the Y2K scare in the years leading up to the turn of the century. Large corporations, and governments are dreading viruses and network sabotage. Maybe even cyber invasions.
As it turned out, while the first kiss of the year was in progress, nine very exceptional babies were born in nine different parts of the world, at exactly 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, January 1, 2000. These famous reincarnated musicians, along with three major political statesmen previously reincarnated and in their teens, were specially chosen by the Powers That Be or the PTB. They are out to restore balance, quality of life, and freedom for all the peoples of the world.
This novel fuses Arnold’s lifelong musical sensibilities with sharp insight into global imbalance, creating a story both imaginative and heartening.
