Reviews for The Journey Across Forever
Throughout his writings, Wayne Saalman interlaces real occurrences that challenge the entire notion of pure materialism. Whether you accept or deny the reality of these astonishing events, they do happen. Anything that does happen, can happen. The challenge laid out by Saalman is for you, the reader, to become hyper aware of your surroundings and take advantage of the extraordinary gifts that are presented to you in this work.

Wayne Saalman in The Journey Across Forever presents the reader with a book of challenges, and responding to them will change your life. Saalman traces the idea that consciousness is causal and fundamental through the centuries from ancient spiritual teachers to modern physicists and shows the inadequacy of materialism. He addresses why understanding the primacy of consciousness is so important in understanding reality and your place in it.

Other Reviews
“I think The Dream Illuminati speaks very eloquently for itself. It concerns dreams of flight and the book’s Order of Vimana is doubtless a poetic forecast of the mutation that lies before us. Even more startling, in the second novel of the series, The Illuminati of Immortality, Wayne Saalman presents us with a poetic vision of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven that rivals Dante.”
Robert Anton Wilson
Author of Cosmic Trigger, Prometheus Rising, Illuminatus and other acclaimed books.
“Dragonfire Dreams seems to me to be the very essence of life in 21st century America and in a wonderful right in your face narrative that shocks, astonishes, enlightens and, best of all – not only is the writing beautiful – it is vastly entertaining.”

"In Crimson Firestorm Mars, Saalman – a literary artist – eloquently weaves an exciting tapestry,adroitly interlacing facts with fiction, thus providing authenticity to this masterful volume. The concepts of Martian exploration are simultaneously stimulating and intellectually challenging. At its core, the book is cleverly designed to inspire dreams that someday may become reality".

Whitley Strieber
Author of Communion, Transformation and A New World.
“Dragonfire Dreams is a rocking, rolling esoteric thunderfest of myth, magic, murder and mayhem. In this psychological thriller, Wayne Saalman delivers an exotic mix of searing emotional fiction which makes for a spellbinding page-turner… The tale is not only about malevolence and horror, however, for the author also weaves in an exhilarating cross country road trip that pays homage to Kerouac, and brings with it steamy escapades and uplifting laughs, as well as a serious quest for enlightenment.”
