Take A Litany Of Good Intentions (The Human Spirit Trilogy) By Andrew Harris Expressed As E-Text

was a good story but very frustrating to read, Every time the story reached a crunch point it went off to another time and place and you had to wait to see what had happened.
Each time it was an anti climax as my brain had already moved on, reaching my own conclusion.
Regardless of that I really enjoyed this informative and forward thinking book, I am half way through this book at the moment and I think it's totally brilliant,
Very unusual and thought provoking story line by a very talented author,
Lot's more to read yet but thought I would leave an update,
Certainly deserves the rating I have given this epic book,
Recommended.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, you want all the people to be genuine and doing things for the right reasons.
As you get further into the book the corruption and murder gets more and more intriguing, With thanks to the publisher for the copy received,

A Litany of Good Intentions is a slightly different novel for me, whilst there are crimes committed they are not just of the murderous kind.
Instead the focus is on the crimes against humanity, from some who have the wealth and power towards those who have nothing.

Much of the novel takes place in India and even though it was difficult to read it was the part that interested me the most.
I had been told years ago of the contrast between the rich and the poor by a family member who had to go on a business trip and was appalled.
Reading this novel and remembering his account left me feeling sickened,
Nothing is restrained or made to sound anything different to how it must be, The reader can visualise the extreme conditions that some people live in, And you could also see that there were people who were prepared to suffer hardship themselves whilst trying to improve the life of others.

There were many characters in the novel, at times I had to read back to remind myself who they were.
In part two, the novel goes back to various periods and countries in thes, At first I wasnt sure why, but it is explained later in the book,
It is very well written and even though it was part two in a trilogy I had no issues with not reading part one.
It is strange to read a fictional novel that contains so much fact, At times it felt like a documentary but there is enough fiction to keep the storyline going.
There are many strong characters and I hope that some of them will appear in the final book.
I absolutely loved the second book in Human Spirit trilogy, I read the first book “The C Clef” recently which is definitely the best book I have read this year, and could not wait the second in the series.
Although I still say that The C Clef is still the best book I have read this year, A Litany of Good Intentions is an excellent read.
The main characters are back and continue with their work in the world of science, They are this time in India and Sweden and fighting against those who appear to want to stop development of a sanitation project in India.

Andrew Harris is described as someone who writes thrillers with a social conscience, He is certainly an amazing author, who in my view writes so well and produces books that are different to anything else I have ever read.

As I said in my review about C Clef, I just want to get the word out about these books! They are amazing and I think anyone who loves a good thriller and wants something a bit different should read them!
I cannot wait for the third book in the trilogy although it will be very sad to see the series end.

Highly recommended.
I was very fortunate to receive an advance copy of this book from NetGalley as if I had not done so I would not have purchased the first book in the series and discovered this amazing author.
This is the second book in the Human Spirit Trilogy but if like me you havent read the first one, The C Clef, its fine as a standalone.
A Litany of Good Intentions is all about Project Amrita, the biggest scientific breakthrough in centuries, Over.billion people have no access to a toilet, drink polluted water and die in their millions, Jock Lim, a Chinese Philanthropist has founded SINAC to eradicate world poverty and with the innovative work of a brilliant scientist, Dr Nisha Patel, who has established a

genius technology to produce limitless electricity for virtually no cost, they aim to make this sensational breakthrough purely for the good of humanity.
They are poised to announce their accomplishment on the world stage at Uppsala University where global TV coverage and world leaders and dignitaries will be present at the ceremony.


Oil, gas, coal and nuclear power will become defunct when free geothermal electricity can be generated and transmitted anywhere.
This is technology that could be worth billions, With so much at stake the implications are extraordinarily high and unsurprisingly there are those whose fortunes will be lost as a result and who will stop at nothing to ensure that it doesnt see the light of day.
A murder made to look like suicide, a violent kidnapping and industrial espionage are just the beginning in this epic tale, which takes us to India, the USA, the UK and Sweden.
We are also transported back toBerlin,Stalingrad,Geneva as well as the present day,

Whilst I enjoyed the main plot with its riveting and worthy premise, I didnt think the book benefited from the historical strands, which just layered up the complexity.
The introduction of a long line of characters was tiring and too much to absorb and the book was way too long.
The main characters were well drawn, however, and a well researched India provided a dramatic backdrop to their hazardous exploits, which I particularly enjoyed.


I would like to thank Netgalley, White fox Publishing and Andrew Harris for an advance copy in return for an honest review.


An end to world poverty is more than just a dream for young Chinese philanthropist Jock Lim.


Through his charity connections, Jock has discovered a way to release,billion people from the imminent threat of death and disease,

Unpublished work by Albert Einstein has helped unlock the scientific breakthrough that will remove the constraints of Third World living conditions and create a new age of global prosperity.


But not everyone will benefit,

Dr Hannah Siekierkowski is a guest speaker at a conference in Sweden where Einstein's legacy and a strategic alliance with Rotary will soon light up the world.


As the clock ticks down to the announcement, Hannah is drawn into a web of corporate greed, racial prejudice and a seething hatred of the new world order.


A hatred that someone is prepared to kill for, .
