Carlos Velasquez, author of Initiate: Final Hours and Hawaii Red Road, was recently awarded a 5-Star review rating from Readers Favorites. Deciding to retire from the workforce and instead take to the palette of storytelling, the novel Initiate is my first writing endeavor, and with the art of describing through adjectives of color my life's experiences on the canvas of those pages, it has allowed me to share the joy and pain of that memory. Hawaii Red Road was an eerily enlightening experience that opened my eyes to another dimension of reality that is often thought of but rarely understood. The story is one of transitions set in the backdrop of the beautiful Hawaiian Islands.
My next endeavor will be as a messenger of possibilities of world peace through the story and vision of Eden Ahbez (Nature Boy) his salutation Manifold Divine Blessings an the flag of the Nu-Clear World.

In Hawaii Red Road: Quantum Mechanics and Countenance, Carlos R Velasquez writes about the experiences of his protagonist, Carlos, as he traveled the Red Road on the “Big Island” of Hawaii. At the same time, Carlos enjoyed a book about quantum mechanics, reflecting on Stephen Hawking's and Carl Sagan’s words and theories as he consciously and unconsciously applies them to his environment. A brief paranormal experience shifts his intentions as he harnesses the lessons learned from the book he’s reading and the mystical qualities of the island to determine the next step in his journey.
Carlos R Velasquez will have readers thinking about the connections between simple sights and experiences and physics long after this book ends. His novel requires the reader's mind to be open to deeper levels of thought as he relates some transcendental thinking and dimensional possibilities that others dismiss as simple déjà-vu or spirits. Velasquez mentions that the area is devoid of birds, and this creates a sense of foreboding that hangs over the rest of the novel. Hawaiian natives will recognize the descriptions of the scenery, and readers will delight in the little-known information about the island and its culture passed on by the author. Velasquez explores the food, painting an enticing picture of the meals in the region he explores. The author has a good grasp of vocabulary, and the book moves along at a reasonable pace. Hawaii Red Road is a good choice for readers who enjoy stories that inspire profound thoughts and may alter their perception of the world around them.
