A THOUSAND STONES
THE AGE OF REVOLUTION, LUST & WAR

by Michael D. Sanford

Narrated by: Nicholas Santasier

Production by: Suncoast Digital Press, Inc.

Flower Power, Disco, and More!

This book offers a look into the unique and confusing times of the late 60s and 70s when flower power, the move from rock into head-slamming loud music, the discovery of psychedelic drugs, and minds so far open they were closed. This story focuses on those with a passion for being more than mere purveyors of change and peace, they want to actively bring change to the establishment. Nate was one of these students who fought the establishment in order to bring about a better world, but then best-laid plans often go awry.

The author, Michael D. Sandford, captured the time period complete with emotions, actions, and beliefs very well. His characters were three-dimensional and authentic to the time period. Many of the lessons learned by Nate can still be relevant today just with different people and groups. The story flowed smoothly and was based on accurate historical information. Further, he captured the essence of the time in slang, action, and more.

The narrator, Nicholas Santasier gives a solid performance bringing the characters' voices to life through tonal inflections and the manner slang was used.

Having grown up and lived through the 60s and 70s, and with family serving in the Vietnam war, this book brought back all those emotions I had during that time including confusion, anger, love, and disbelief. This is a story that has continued to linger in the back of my mind and continues to invoke emotions and memories. It has taken me well over a week to write this review as I am still processing it. I highly recommend this book to learn about or relive the past or just to have an excellent entertaining and engaging book.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this book.
