Andrew Feder
Sequel to “When The Angels Have Risen”
After questioning his bizarre dreams
and unexplained sudden knowledge of ancient Greek,
Jerry Fletcher is regressed to his past lives.
Under his regression Jerry finally becomes aware
that during Alexander the Great’s military campaigns
he was Aias, the historically unwritten hero.
Aias was not only Alexander’s untold mentor
and great true friend but was also notable
for being a true maverick and an inspiring military hero.
Aias may have been mysteriously removed from Alexander’s Journal, but now the truth is finally revealed.
From the bloody and gruesome military campaigns
to the erotic rendezvous’ affairs- Aias utilizing his unique style with his very mysterious sword was a compelling warrior on the battlefield, and along with his other unique skills he was quite infamous in the bedroom.
Alexander the Great often compared Aias to both Illiad’s Hector and Achilles but in one.
Alexander the Great and Ptlomey simply thought that Aias was perhaps a God reincarnate from Olympus.
Alexander simply called him an Aries incarnate.
His enemies simply called him, “Aias the Decapitator.”
And Aristotle simply called him THE HERETIC.
The women of Greece called him…
Well… You’ll simply have to read the book to find out…
On a sunny spring morning, when the birds were chirping and singing, Andrew Feder was born in Hollywood California, looking like a cross between a Nordic and Asian baby. His father would later sarcastically say that he was adopted from Korea.
Andrew grew up in a dysfunctional Jewish family in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles. He later studied at San Diego State University.
Andrew then went for one year to the University of Haifa in Israel where he lived on a kibbutz and met his ex-wife. (He has three children from this marriage.) He completed his studies at UC Davis in Viticulture and Enology.
Having lived several lives in one, Andrew during the eighties, lived in Israel first for a short period in a settlement on the West Bank and later on a Moshav near Haifa for six years as a grape farmer. There in Israel he studied Kabbalah (Jewish Mystics) under guidance of the renowned holy man known as “The Mo’ah.” During his religious studies, he was quite pious as an orthodox observant Jew.
After returning to the United States, for the next ten years, he was a contractor and owner of a construction company. Shortly after his return he continued his studies of Kabbalah and metaphysics under the guidance of renowned psychic, mystic and healer, Janeau St. Clair and her husband, mystic, Elliot Atlas.
In the late nineties, Andrew drove a cab and a limo during hiatus while working as an Assistant Director in the film industry. At the end of the nineties, he moved to Las Vegas from Los Angeles which, for one year, he was (and hates to admit it) a “damn” telemarketer selling long distance, and for the past six years he’s been a graphic artist.
During his college years, Andrew wrote several editorials and short stories. Much later, during the so-called mid-life crisis, he evolved in his development to include writing both novels and poems along with subsequent screenplays.
When people first see Andrew they are commonly surprised by his lack of aging and youthful appearance. In the other words, they think that he is ten years(sometimes more)younger than his actual age. His response: “Well, we do come out in the daytime…”
As we walked by the antiquities area, we saw a group of archeologists looking at an array of what looked like Greek armor with a helmet, shield and an unusual sword. The sword had the form used by a Japanese samurai with its one-sided blade that was rather thin but forged from a steel-like metal but with sparkling bronze-looking metal splattered within the alloy. The sword's handle was made of a brilliant gold with a deep black metal alloy at the knobbed end, which was artistically engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphics. The armor, also unusual, had a light but tightly ringed gold like mesh similarly worn by the knights during the Middle Ages. Along the collar of the armor was an engraving of Old Hebrew writing mixed with Egyptian hieroglyphics. The artifacts were apparently discovered on the Island of Crete and were thought to be from the time period of Alexander the Great. The Spartan helmet with its thick black and white long mane still intact and mysteriously with absolutely no decay running down the center and a braided tail in the back had a glowing brass/gold-like metal alloy and an unusual engraved marking on the forehead——a six pointed star like a Star of David. Above the Star of David was an engraving of a Masonic-like image——an Egyptian pyramid with an Egyptian eye on top. This marking was also on the center of the shield, which was made of the same unusual alloy gold-like metal.
We looked over the shoulders of the archeologists as they examined their new find. With their magnifying
glasses, they were looking over every square inch of these artifacts. An archeologist brushed off the dust from the shield, and Greek markings appeared. The markings were engraved within the thick black circular design.
One of the archeologists read the Greek out loud. Another asked, “What does it mean?”
I interjected, “To the soul of mankind... to the all that live in the air, in the water or on the Earth... to the physical Earth... to the infinite stars and heavenly bodies... to the love that has no boundaries... All is connected to the One... The Infinite One...”
All of the archaeologists, in total amazement, looked at me with a bewildered look.
One of the archaeologists asked, “Is that what it says?”
The one reading the Greek hesitantly answered back, “Uh, yeah.”
I immediately grabbed Joanne's hand, and with great discretion, we quickly exited the museum.
Joanne said, “I didn't know that you knew Greek.”
“I don't.”
