Legends of the Light Bearer by L.M. Aldrich is an interesting read.Aldrich focuses on metaphysical explanations for phenomenon such as UFO and abductions. He also speaks of conspiracy theories to explain some of the same phenomenon, stating they come from two distinctly different sources.Aldrich makes good use of characterization, but two of characters are very stereotypical, one plays a reasonably small enough role that the stereotyping is relatively insignificant. However, the other character plays a moderate role in the storyline so the stereotyping is a bit annoying.Aldrich ties conspiracy theories and religious overtones together in his storyline, bringing everything together well. He makes good use of voice, although there was one place where I had to go back and re-read in order to be certain who the speaker was.The plot is interesting and presented well, whether you agree with his theories or not. Tension is well developed, but loses its end-of-your-seat aspect a little too soon. Overall it was a good read, but not stellar. I would recommend it to conspiracy theorists and potential light workers, but few others.I received a promotional copy of this book from the author in return for my honest opinion and frank review.
