Book 4: G
Sorry for the delay. Just got back. I was away overseas on a medical mission with my students. Thought we would have some access to the internet, but, alas, no. Thanks for waiting for this new chapter.
Jules reminds Reese what made him who he is. She has brought him to the place where he can choose to be that man again.

Introduction
Welcome ! Book 4 is starting. We're moving forward from the end of Saving the Saviors to newer adventures with all the members of Team Machine. They've arrived intact, though that's not to say that all is well...
Author's preface:
As usual, just a bit of orientation for those who might want it. This is the fourth book of a series that began with Saving the Saviors. Think of that one as bookends around Pointillist and Pointillist 2 (P2).
It jumped back and forth in time between the years 2014 and late 2016. Book 1 imagined a different ending than the TV plot, and it showed, instead, what it would take to bring back the people we loved from all the losses they'd suffered. Book 1 brought back characters from the show in expanded roles, and it introduced a few new ones to help with the plot.
We all knew that there was such richness to this story, so many chapters left unwritten. So, Saving the Saviors was the first step in erasing that ending, and visualizing a better world where these characters could move on, together.
Welcome to G, the next helping of the feast.
In continuing deep love and appreciation for the ground-breaking work of the original show, and all of those who made it so unique. Let's keep going.

Chapter 2: in on his way, Reese had already received this book as a gift from Jules, to help him re-connect with his authentic self and the Warrior's Way. It re-surfaces again in G:
Kaufman, Stephen. The Martial Artist's Book of Five Rings, Tuttle Publishing, 1994.
And, look for the line across the page to queue this short, beautiful instrumental, from Paul Simon:
Simon, Paul."In The Garden of Edie." Stranger to Stranger, Concord Records, 2016
Chapter 3: in The dark and the cold, Reese makes a return visit to Jules before she leaves, and she plays this in the background during her session with him. It is an example of Alpha brainwave entrainment:
Walder, Russel. "Wisdom Calls When the Wall Falls." Bruce Lipton's Music for a Shift in Consciouness, Sounds True, 2011
Chapter 4: in what was he going to do?, Reese relives a harrowing time in the Rangers. It is stuck inside him, swirling around him like the snake in this music, haunting:
Walder, Russel. "Walking Among the Snakes." Bruce Lipton's Music for a Shift in Consciouness, Sounds True, 2011
Chapter 5: in flight, Jules must go after Reese as he descends into darkness. She uses the sounds of this piece to help her reach him in time:
Kater, Peter. "Echo Inside." Resonance, New Earth Records, 2016.
and in not over, Reese wakes to find himself in Jules' living room, rescued. As she watches him recover from his haunting memory, she begins to see what needs to be done. Share the resonance of that moment with them in this piece, from Peter Kater, too:
Kater, Peter. "One Flame." Resonance, New Earth Records, 2016.
Chapter 6: in a killer, Jules uses this music again to help Reese find the truth. It brings all of us to the Cascades, canoeing in a mountain stream at night:
May, Daniel. "Calm The Mind." Solitudes Calm the Mind, Somerset Entertainment Ltd., 2006
