O knihe

Beyond the Beam follows on directly from the earlier novel and explores the ongoing relationship of Hal and Amanda on their journey around the world in their junk rigged ketch "Kwan Yin". After Amanda`s impulsive insistence on calling at Bimini, where Hal has a strange experience, they then go to the Yucatan, the land of the Mayas, where it is Amanda`s turn to undergo something quite odd and frightening, which causes them to abort the voyage and return to England. The two books, which actually are one, are a tale of past loves and past civilisations and of an ancient house in Devon which exerts an influence on both of them. It is a tale of deep love and where Amanda at last discovers the name of the old man who has haunted her visions and whom she now believes is the spirit of Hal and the Elizabethan sea captain. It ends in a tragic yet upbeat conclusion and with speculations about the well known end of the Mayan Long Count, which came in 2012 and its possible outcome.
