A 5-Star Review for NAMUH: The Awakening

I just received a 5-star review from Readers’ Favorite for NAMUH Book 1: The Awakening, and I couldn’t be more humbled—or more excited to share it with you.

Here’s what reviewer Eric Ferrar had to say:

“Desmond Knipe’s NAMUH: The Awakening takes place in a futuristic world where human disconnection and environmental issues are common, recurring trends. The story focuses on Michael, Tara, Brahma, Apollo, and Sophia: five strangers from different countries around the world who share a unique psychic ability. Each protagonist is psychically drawn to an ancient Kauri tree in New Zealand, but none of them seems to know why. As they gradually become acquainted with each other, they discover their true purpose: to guide humankind through a revolutionary spiritual change that could alter the outcome of the universe itself.”

“Desmond Knipe has a talent for creative writing! He skillfully merges spiritual philosophy with futuristic ideas in a way that feels inventive and original… Characters like Michael, Brahma, and Apollo bring intensity and emotional variety to the plot in a way that never feels overstated, but adds heart to the storyline. If books like The Four Agreements and A New Earth ‘speak’ to you on a profound level, this book will readily do the same.”

“Overall, if you prefer narratives that exercise your mind, NAMUH: The Awakening is the right novel for you.”

To have NAMUH compared to books like The Four Agreements and A New Earth is deeply gratifying. I’ve always believed this trilogy isn’t just a story—it’s a conversation, a remembering, and maybe even an activation for those who feel the call.

If you’ve been searching for a novel that blends:
Science fiction and mysticism
Environmental awareness and psychic connection
Soul-level questions with page-turning stakes

…then maybe NAMUH is the one waiting for you.
