ErinShiva’s Messenger
Author Russell Twyce takes our imaginations for an interesting journey into the spirituality of an assassin and an assassin’s mind. The novel begins at the Dallas assassination where we’re introduced to an assassin who isn’t listed in the history books. He is the second shooter on the grassy knoll. (THIS IS FICTION ONLY.) We follow this assassin’s actions on that day in Dallas and we feel the betrayal that he’s been subjected to. But that’s just the beginning–the scene jumps to today.
The Dallas assassin has been in hiding since Kennedy’s assassination. He has raised and meticulously trained his son to follow in his assassin’s shoes. The new assassin sets out on a quest to assassination that his father has assigned but though he’s been trained by a master assassin, the youth comes into his own spirituality.
Shiva’s Messenger tells an interesting story but the insight into an assassin’s mind and his spirituality is the ‘gravy on the meat’. By the end of the novel, I understood the young assassin’s mind very well and I found myself actually agreeing with him somewhat.
