The Shamans: The Garden of Kathmandu Trilogy

In 'The Shamans' Carl Brecht, the anthropologist, leaves Saraswoti in India to do research on shamanism in Nepal. Upon arriving in Pokhara, he discovers that his friend, Professor Paul Schiemann is tormented by his wife's death. Sharon's poltergeist haunts his dreams as well as his house on the university campus. Paul hires a shaman to perform an exorcism on the trail to Kanjang, where Sharon died after falling from a cliff. After witnessing another major exorcism performed by the shamans at Kanjang, Carl returns to Pokhara with his friends. He finds out that Saraswoti and Lakshmi are at the Third Eye Hotel, where Myrna and Yorg are staying with the kidnapped boy, Nigel. Carl informs the police about his suspicions although he doesn't expect to be captured by the London coven and taken to a cottage on Fewa Lake. At the cottage the coven are preparing to offer sacrifices to the demons in the presence of Nigel.

5Not for the faint of heart  Oct 12, 2006
By J. Fisher
For those inclined towards the exotic, magical, and macabre, this book has something for everyone. Cibrario leads us on a merry chase, in the course of which a black cat is killed, witches practice their arts, drugs are consumed, some women students are killed (and their internal organs harvested), shamanic trances are observed, and various "bad guys" meet appropriate ends. In fairness to the author and his readers I will not reveal the ending, but suffice it to say that the conclusion ties things nicely together, and, as in a Shakespeare play, all the main characters from The Shamans (and its two predecessor volumes) are accounted for in satisfying ways, to put it in as obfuscating a manner as possible.

5I'm requesting a sequel!  Sep 28, 2006
By Jane T. Kylmala
This is the most intense book in the trilogy, and I had trouble getting to sleep, let alone put the book down. The events in this book do happen, but in our sheltered lives, we'll never experience them ourselves. Again, I thought the Shamans was obvious, and that the book would be all about the rituals, but the title is deceiving, and the meaning is wrapped up in the ending. The only problem is, I want to read more. I need a sequel to soothe the wrinkles in my head now! I'm left wondering. Nick, I'm waiting for your next book. I'll read anything you write!

5The Shamans  Jan 13, 2012
By avidreader "grandma"
The Shamans was thrilling and spell binding. I enjoyed reading about the exorcisms in Nepal and the various traditions and rituals used by the shamans. Again the plot was adventurous and kept me wanting to keep reading regardless of the time. I stayed up two extra hours to finish the book and find out what happened to Nigel. I know the sequel to this is out and have it now and am most anxious to find out what happened to the characters from the trilogy. Cibrario has a way of writing that put you right into the action. I feel that I have been to Nepal and yet never travelled there. His discriptions are so vivid that one is able to see the shaman dancing around and hear the chanting and the drums as he preforms the exorcism. The entire trilogy is a must read for one who loves adventure, travel to exotic places and share in the customs of a country and people that is so different from America.
