Reviews

This novel, [Uncommon Reason] does something unusual—it presents an imaginary situation which can give us hope because it indicates what is necessary and even suggests it is possible...and in these desperate times we need to imagine good things happening and to hear the arguments in the mouth of David Tremaine.

What is dangerous in Mallard's book is that his words ring true…Uncommon Reason is not fashionable literary entertainment it is instead something to ponder, something that challenges us in a passionate, powerful and straight-forward manner.

In this book, the principles of love, mutual respect, and selfless service are applied to… the Middle East conflict, the attacks of 9/11 and the current War on Terror. Uncommon Reason is a must read for those who are truly desirous of a more peaceful way of living in the world.

In his intriguing book, Uncommon Reason, Mallard breathes life and newfound wisdom into our understanding of hope for peace on earth… His message is one that is both clear and prophetic in nature.

With power and immediacy, Mallard shows how the teachings of the great masters are as necessary today as they have ever been.

Joyce Tinney

…politically incorrect, religiously troubling and thought provoking…Mallard has provided the reader with something to ponder, [it] is not a quick read. Don’t expect to be simply entertained. Expect to be challenged. I was.

The warlords response to 9/11 has clearly shown that the war on terror isn’t working. Violence begets violence. This refreshing novel offers an uncommon response to violence. It shows there is hope for peace.

Uncommon Reason gets to the root of conflict, and the remedy for healing….Local, provincial, national and international leaders can learn from this book…Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down.
