I teach computer science in Washington State. An ex-student of mine, who lives in Bellingham brought me this book--he's into such things. Anyhow, if the completely accurate description of the town of Bellingham and of the actions of Lee Malvo complete with Malvo and Muhammeds hang outs and the whole bit--you can verify this! It's mighty weird--published two months before the DC shooter thing happened--then the subsequent is totally amazing.
This book is written using some of the most advanced encryption technology I have ever seen. The text, though cohereint, I guess, though I don't care about the astral plane, translates into a separate latin text. I'd encourage any to find the encryption and contact me--my little quiz. Hints: think golden ratio. And those ain't typos.

As you may have noticed, this series of books by G. Travels are stirring controversy. People either love them or hate them, and the reviews reflect this. I will try to give this book as fair a review as possible, but will probably offend both extremes in so doing.
There are several problems with the book that need to be covered first:
Production values: This is a slim self-published volume. There are many typos. It is not a quality binding or a well edited text. I found the typos and clumsy editing distracting, but it shouldn't put you off if you are interested in the subject.
Writing style: The author has strong opinions bordering on the dogmatic. His style is also very convoluted, and it is often difficult to decipher what he means. I had to re-read sections repeatedly, not because it was to technical, but because it was poorly written. I found the insistent dogmatism and confused writing an obstacle.
New Content: The very first third of the book is an exact reprint of the very first book in the series. The last third of the book is a story. So that leaves the middle third of an already slender volume for new content. I felt the book was thus overpriced.
These three problems out of the way, we can now review the material in the book:
This book is about resisting astral attack. However, there is very little in the book about how to actually resist astral attack. Mostly the author presents his personal and often odd-ball theories on the subject. Never-the-less, there are worthwhile gems and nuggets in the book, but you have to sift carefully for them, and they are highly esoteric. If what you are looking for is practical information, you won't find much here. This is more of a manifesto of one persons personal beliefs rather than instructional literature.
I looked forward to the release of this book and have to honestly say I found it a disappointment. I can forgive the style and the poor editing, but it is much harder to justify lack of content. If you have bought the very first book, you have bought the best of the series. If you are looking for info on how to resist astral attacks you need to buy a different book.
The best I can honestly and fairly give this book is two stars.
Thank you for reading this.

This is the second self-published book by G. Travels by vanity publishing house I-Universe. It is called "Resisting Astral Attack," and yet there is very little in the book about actually resisting astral attack. It is a very thin volume at a price much higher than its pages merit. And, the very first third of the book is simply a re-printing of the very first book in this series. Also, the last third is a story that is supposed to be an account from someone's diary on the subject. That just leaves the middle third, which in such a slim volume already, is a very insubstantial amount to be paying for. And, it is insubstantial in content...If you are interested in books that actually give you the tools to resist astral attack, I would suggest such titles (all available on Amazon.com) as: Practical Psychic Self-Defense: Understanding and Surviving Unseen Influences - Protected by the Light: The Complete Book of Psychic Self Defense; 2nd Edition - The Psychic Self-Defense Personal Training Manual - The Art of Psychic Protection - and, Shouting at the Wolf: A Guide to Identifying and Warding Off Evil in Everyday Life.
Again: there is virtually nothing in "Resisting Astral Attack" on how to resist astral attacks. It is a very slim volume to begin with, two thirds of which are irrelevant, and the final third being insubstantial at best. There are far better books on the market, and much less arrogantly written.
I gave it two stars...

and I've got to respond a little bit to the other critique. I don't normally get involved in reviews like this, but it is easy to misread this sort of material and read it superfically and poorly. There is indeed a good deal of material that is in this book that is in the other book, but it is really necessary to the conversation at hand, and without this repeat information I doubt many people will understand the subject material. I doubt most people will understand it anyhow, it is very complex at times, and uses a lot of professional language.
The complaint about it being "anti women" is very off base. I read it--I'm a woman. It does make the case that it is culturally very difficult for women to learn the discipline for women to learn the techniques of astral combat, because discipline is not encouraged within our culture for women. I think that observation is very important and true!
