NEW ZEALAND: A NOVEL features in Amazon’s Top Reviews from the USA

“‘New Zealand: A Novel’, is more than just a historical saga,” according to US book critic Elisabet Norris whose review of this historical adventure features in this week’s ‘Top reviews from the United States’.

To read Norris’s full review go to: https://www.amazon.com/New-Zealand-Novel-Lance-Morcan/dp/0473728524/

Excerpts from her review follow:

“The story moves between two timelines: one following the Polynesian settlers leaving Hawaiki in the 1300s in search of new land, and the other tracing the journey of Nicholas Young, a young surgeon’s assistant aboard Captain Cook’s Endeavour in the 18th century. Seeing the story unfold from both perspectives makes it clear that history isn’t only shaped by famous explorers and leaders, but also by ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.

“Morcan’s descriptions of Māori customs, intertribal conflicts, and the dangers of early sea voyages feel well-researched and engaging storytelling, yet the historical detail never overwhelms the narrative. The friendship between Nicholas and Moki, a young Māori warrior, adds a personal, human layer to what could have just been a story about cultures in conflict. Their bond offers one of the few moments of understanding and respect in a time full of mistrust and violence…

“…At its heart, this is a novel about discovery — of new lands, new cultures, and of oneself. It left me thinking not just about New Zealand’s early history, but about the timeless human instinct to explore, to clash, and to find connection across differences. A vivid, compelling historical novel that still feels relevant today.”

New Zealand: A Novel paperback is also available via Harvard Book Store, Waterstones UK & Europe bookstores, Kete Books NZ and via public libraries. An audiobook version is also available via Amazon (listening time: 11hrs. 25mins.).

Medical Industrial Complex: The $ickness Industry, Big Pharma and Suppressed Cures – Book 3 in our Underground Knowledge Series – is available now as an audiobook.

To listen to the introduction, click on “Virtual voice sample” in panel below the cover image via https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FF8GV1RQ/

Listening length is 4 hours 49 minutes.

This explosive book is Book 3 in our Underground Knowledge Series. It’s a no-holds barred critique of mainstream medicine and the various players who make up one of the largest and most profitable industries on the planet. We, the authors, explore the contention that Big Pharma and other participants in the healthcare sector put profits ahead of patients’ wellbeing and dollars ahead of lives.

★★★★★ “The authors make us aware of that there are other interests at stake than that of the patient, such as money. The health industry is no exception to the corruptions that exists in pretty much every field in the world at the present time or in the past….and most likely any future field as well. This book helps put much of the information out there into perspective. It’s not telling us what to think or what to do but rather making us aware of the information out there so we can make better sense of it all and feel more power within our own choices…This book is a great guideline of what to look for or what to question when it comes to this industry.” –Elisabet Norris, Scientist

Other formats for Medical Industrial Complex include paperback and Kindle ebook. The paperback is available via Harvard Book Store, Waterstones UK & Europe bookstores, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and via public libraries.
