Novel Written as Fiction May Secretly be Giving Possible Clues Explaining Current Worldwide Tensions and Unusual Events



May 4, 2005 -- Announcing the Publication of Monkey 99

Everybody has their own theories about why the world of today is so factionalized or is experiencing an increase in rare natural and unexplained events. In the midst of these hotly-debated theories, an old theory, The Hundredth Monkey Theory, is brought into the fray, even if unintentionally in an enjoyable and thought provoking new fiction novel about evolution, psychic abilities, and human destiny.

"My goal was to write a 'what if' sci-fi/fantasy novel, that would entertain the readers while giving them something to think about," states Michael Doyle Amspaugh. Michael, a Who's Who executive and an international Martial Arts instructor, has until now limited his writing and editing to text books on Operations Research and small business management. "I've always been a sci-fi/fantasy novel fan and wanted to write one. I was hoping that readers would enjoy the story and they seem to, but a frequent reaction I get from them is that they had already been wondering if some impending world event was causing impatience and stress. I must have struck a chord."

Nan Schweiger, writer, book reviewer, and editor, had similar observations as she read the book. "Few would argue that the precarious state of the world is increasingly on people's mind. But how is the average person to determine who are the good guys and who are the bad Who can bring justice to the world that so needs it Michael Doyle Amspaugh gives us an engaging psychic-fi romp, tailor-made for this modern mindset. Replete with crisscrossing exalted and base purposes, Monkey 99 weaves us into the web of intrigue and angst of its unusually talented main characters."

The frightening real world possibilities of the novel do not detract from its enjoyment value. "an entertaining read," says author and book reviewer Dennison Rey. This refrain is commonly echoed by the readers of this new work along with comments about the humor and thought provoking concepts. Read the novel, watch the news-just don't say you weren't warned.
