★★★★★ "The Adamantine Jewel is pure escapism and an absolute joy to read, partly for the adventure that David and April are about to embark on but also for their spiritual and philosophical journey. This is possibly the first novel I've read that embraces many of the spiritual truths and practices that I subscribe to, and it resonated with me... The overall philosophy of the power of the mind, the necessity for positive thought, and the belief that nobody, no matter their past, is incapable of change are all woven seamlessly into this fascinating and mystical journey of self-discovery... The underlying message of hope, morality, plus the power and dignity of the human spirit shines through every chapter. I finished this book with a satisfied smile and that is a rare occurrence. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this book."

★★★★★ "I just finished a great read by author Jeffrey Pears, The Adamantine Jewel. Combine the lure of spirituality, the threat of global extinction and the sweet uncertainty of love and you have Pears' compelling, hard to put down novel. I highly recommend this exciting supernatural adventure; unlike any novel I have ever read. Animated descriptions of people and situations make Pears' work a nonstop adventure. A terrific novel for the most discriminating reader." – Peter Z
★★★★★ "The Adamantine Jewel is an exciting adventure with unexpected turns. It is a book that you cannot put down. Dr Thoreau and his daughter April are interesting complex characters with bravery and love beyond belief. I look forward to the next book, The Celestine Covenant by Jeffrey Pears. – Jan E
