Praise for The Viper and the Storm

"This book is a wildly exciting adventure, a coming-of-age tale delivered with precision by a master storyteller. Tom Morris shows how to tap into our personal greatness to discover who we are and how we each can make a difference in our world, across a wide range of ages. It’s a real page-turner that makes you slow down now and then to absorb its practical and timeless wisdom. Share the adventure. Listen to the wisdom. You will be changed."

Jay Forte, author of The Greatness Zone

"I love this book. It has a fun plot with a lot of philosophical wisdom woven in. And the story was edifying in a deeper way than just in what was said. I felt an almost palpable sense of goodness coming through it that was uplifting. It’s also helped bring me back imaginatively in touch with the true “magic” in life, a sort of providential working out of things, as often manifest in surprising synchronicities. Tom’s novels remind us that there’s much more to each of us than might appear, and that we’re all royalty, deep down."

Robin Collins, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, Messiah College

"This is a wonderful sequel following the beloved characters in the series, “Walid and The Mysteries of Phi.” Readers young and old alike will delight in the epic adventure and ponder the deeper themes explored in this novel. Restorative love, forgiveness, meditation, and choosing our way in honor of the greater good are a few of the ideas that Tom Morris gracefully weaves into the tale of the Viper and the Storm."

Tasha Wahl, Executive Director, The Wahl Group

The Viper and The Storm Review:

What a page-turner! It's like reading a script from your favorite drama series on Netflix embedded with great philosophy, comedic relief, and budding romance.

I have been on this journey with Walid since his preparation told in The Oasis Within. I have since read Volume 1, The Golden Palace, Volume 2, The Stone of Giza and now Volume 3, The Viper and The Storm, all part of the great series called Walid and the Mysteries of Phi.

In each volume the plot thickens more than the last. Reading in proper succession adds much suspense, in addition to learning and understanding the characters, creating a bond that leads to great expectancy as one feels they're on the journey too!

With this book series, as with any great Netflix series, you may just find yourself binging ... Walid and Chill.

Maybe 3 hours ago, Clark left for the grocery store. We only needed a few essential items. In that time, I've cleaned the kitchen, changed clothes, moved from chair to couch to front porch, played on FB, checked email, watched the birds, bunnies, wind in trees....had an early scotch and water and, while sitting on our porch rocking, read more of my new Tom Morris book, 'The Viper and the Storm, #3 in the series 'Walid and the Mysteries of Phi'. This is a lovely, mythical, mystical tale woven with magic, humanity, adventure, ancient wisdom and philosophy. I'm loving it!!! As I raise my head to see the clouds blown away and sunshine and blue skies emerge.....still no Clark. Kidnapped by CoVid pirates? viral FB posts? or mesmerized by our own vision of Holden Beach? I vote for #3 and dreams of fishing. I go inside to cool off and... lo and behold, said hubby is sacked out on couch!!!
