Out of Many OneAnd such was the entire theme of this final book.  Peter Thornton and Cathy have married and he still has nightmares going back to when he was a physician.  A reoccurring nightmare was him  running down halls of a hospital seeking a patient, and there were none.  He and Cathy own a condo on the 49th floor of an apartment house, which is like their private Eden, and they have a magnificent open view of Mount Royal.  Peter does not thrive unless he is immersed totally in some project and when his widowed sister-in-law Ruth Thornton became head of Solidarity International in North America, there was always some task that Ruth or Lena, head of Solidarity International in the Vatican set him to.Winston was always still there to encourage Peter in developing his skills, including seeing auras and interpreting them and mind reading.  Peter discovered that many of the leading  Solidarity people have doppelgangers as doubles as many politicians now have doubles as a security measure.  These doppelgangers were not human but made by nanotechnology.  But because even Solidarity's foes could plant these doubles in highly secured places, the only way to spot them was if they had no auras.  Peter was called upon to check out any suspicious ones.  The head of security was a nano named J.R. and the minds of a nano works many times faster than a human and hence, their value.  J.R. and Peter worked closely together and the vast abilities of this robot fills in some of the interesting episodes of this storyTo me, Book III is the most interesting of the trilogy.  It finalizes many of the physical and metaphysical aspects touched on in the first two books, but they are more dramaticly interspersed in between constructive and destructive scenarios.  Winston revealed who he truly is and he taught very succinctly many physical principles, making the reader understand that the only difference is that when the physical is not understood, it is then named "metaphysical."  As a student of metaphysics since 1960, I enjoyed the simplicity of Winston's teachings plus the drama of the novel.  This novel is not light reading, but it is worthy of any reader who likes to plumb new ideas, new depths and challenges for in many instances, these ideas are not acceptable to others, but they will make you think.  I recommend this book, especially to those readers who have read the first two books.
