Edmund James Beasley II is a writer and a new believer who hasn’t yet come to the realization he needs God’s help. After an incident in college, Edmund develops a phobia about showing his writing to the world and finds employment anywhere he can just to avoid doing so. Still stuck on an old love, he discovers he’s falling for Eleanor Collins, a woman he meets in the most unexpected of places after she contracts a mysterious virus that leaves people looking dead when they really are not.
Add to the mix a conspiracy theory addicted roommate by the name of Dale who believes the earth is flat and claims to know the real reason why the Mexican-U.S. border wall has yet to be completed, and Edmund’s life just got a whole lot more complicated.
This becomes particularly true when Dale discovers a 1800s manuscript while vacuuming and finds it contains plans for a time machine—well sort of anyway. The manuscript belongs to the “Rascal Brigade of the High Sciences” an assembly of prominent scientists and engineers. Since the late 1800s, the Rascal Brigade has been having fun with pseudoscience and conspiracy theories, and they inspire Edmund to write a novel.
But Edmund may get more than inspiration, for the group, coupled with the aftermath of the virus, sets Edmund off on an unexpected journey to catch a killer, for Eleanor’s sake, and to find that he may need God’s help after all.
Reviews:
Edmund is a character I can totally relate to as far as his phobia goes. Yet, he is able to find love even in the strangest place, and strange circumstances. And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). This a great book that demonstrates this. I highly recommend this.
The Wonderful Journey of Edmund Beasley by C.L. Shaffer is a fun book that will have you rooting for the main character, Edmund Beasley. A writer, who is afraid to show the world his writing, Edmund soon meets Eleanor, who has a mysterious disease that makes her look like death. Yikes. This in turn, leads Edmund on the search for a killer. In between all of this, Dale who is Edmund’s roommate, discovers an old manuscript while vacuuming. This only helps to validate Dale’s conspiracy theories that dominate his thoughts. A fast paced plot, plenty of humor, mystery, and quirky characters, all add up to an eminently readable and engaging story. A great adventure is had by all in this hopeful story, highly recommend.

This was a great book. The faith and the scriptures used were excellent! It was a gripping story about the battle of good and the ever presence of evil. The .battle lines were well defined and the accuracy of the time period was very good. The Indian battle at the beginning of the book was gripping. Excellent!

Reviews:
Loved this latest work by H.L. Wegley. That the media and IT search engines could slant public opinion is only too true. One only has to look at the last four years of politics in our country to know that. I only hope the story isn’t a prophecy of our country’s future. Great yarn with a great romance and three cool characters.
I love, love, love this author. Each story I have read by this author begin with action, and is very hard to find a stopping place. Can’t seem to put it down until I get to the end, then I wish it was longer.
