Work InformationK-Pax II: On a Beam of Light by Gene Brewer
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) InezGard | Jan 1, 2016 |  Book two doesn't deviate much from the formula started in Book 1 - Prot 'arrives', and improves the lives of those around him whilst Gene tries to help Robert who appears to have vanished - but this doesn't diminish the story at all. There is some new back-story introduced and the relationship between Dr Brewer and his patient is as amusing and well characterised as before. (  ) bigcurlyloz | Jan 20, 2010 | sfreader.com | Jan 21, 2007 | It’s been years since Prot was last at the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute, years in which Robert Porter was rigid and unresponsive to any outside stimuli. But now Prot is back, and Dr Brewer has only a short time to try and cure Robert, before Prot leaves again. In many ways I enjoyed this book more than the first. Much of the magic of Prot is lost, as the author digs deeper into Robert Porter’s psyche, and we meet his other personalities, characters much more normal than Prot. The exploration of multiple personality disorder is very interesting, and if you are at all interested in the subject, I’d really recommend this book.

Five years to the day, almost to the second, after he disappeared form the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute, leaving his host body in a catatonic state, the being known as prot (rhymes with goat) has returned. Now, in sixteen more sessions with psychiatrist Gene Brewer, prot reveals that he has come back to escort a chosen few to his home planet, K-PAX. K-PAX is an idyllic planet free of the pain and suffering of earth. Prot has incredible insights into how to cure that suffering, and his radical ideas have made him a celebrity. Now, legions of people are longing to follow him home. But Dr. Brewer has heard it before. Five years ago, he discovered another person buried deep in prot's personality: Robert Porter of Montana. The mystery of Robert's illness and of prot's true origins lie deep within Robert's shattered psyche. Now Dr. Brewer must race against the clock to unlock the secrets of Robert's traumatic past and not only save his patient but maybe humanity. No library descriptions found. |
