The Divine Theory of Everything - Book 1 Wanderer

Reviewed by Randy A. Lakin for RebeccasReads (10/09)

In Robert D. Berger’s book “The Divine Theory of Everything” I was hoping for a great book, mostly because I like the title.  I would have to say that book “The Divine Theory of Everything” is good very good.  The book starts off in a world full of dwarves, elves, and other creatures.  The author starts out good in the first chapter, he tells us of a great battle against an all encompassing evil being trying to stomp out good.  The story then leads you from this ancient world and suddenly you are aboard an airplane that crashed into the ocean.  It takes several pages until you are able to tie the two stories together. 

The book starts out a little slow, but by chapter three I was involved and did not want to put the book down.  The main character is Steve Morgan, just an average guy leading a normal life.  That is, until he was selected to perform a special job or function.  As you follow along Steve is in a plane crash and being dragged to the bottom and about to die until he is plucked from the cold water.  Everyone else on the plane is trapped inside as it sinks, sending them to their deaths. You find out that Steve was selected to fight evil by a Goddess of good.  The author has you follow along with Steve’s training.  One of my favorite characters in the book is Steve’s teacher or Master.  He is a very likable person, but you never really learn very much about the “Old Man” as Steve calls him.

The plot of the book is not new, but the author’s angle on it works exceedingly well.  The author has set out to have the main character, Steve, to learn magic when he is from a world of science.  So many books will try to take you through the magical training and try to make you learn strange words or incantations.  The author does not bore you with trying to pronounce strange made up words.  I would have to say that the book did stop at an odd place in my opinion.  Don’t get me wrong, I liked the book very much and I think you will too.  I believe that this is the author’s first book and with that said, I think he has a lot of potential.  I look forward to his next book; after all, this one is subtitled “Book 1 Wanderer”.  Robert D Berger’s book “The Divine Theory of Everything” I believe will be a success and a hit with everyone who reads it.
