Synopsis

This occult tale of esoteric initiation is rightly renowned for its description of the Western mystical tradition, skillfully sheathed within an enthralling adventure story. Set in Napoleonic times, 'Brother of the Third Degree' records the saga of Alphonso Colono, a Mexican born in Paris, as he pursues his quest for truth and love amid the intrigues and machinations of Europe's grand political chessboard. In impressive detail, the novel reveals the covert workings of both Black and White occult brotherhoods in shaping the destiny of men and nations. This is an inspirational book, a metaphysical classic that can be enjoyed by both initiate and non-initiate alike.

About this title

About the Author

Garver's vision of a united Europe at peace in the 20th century, (after a period of war) was a good prediction, even if the mechanism he proposes is a bit absurd. The narrative itself is still a good read, despite the overblown period prose. This long-forgotten predecessor to the Da Vinci Code moves along nicely and has memorable characters. Not many 19th century occult fictions are half as readable.
