"The story began in 1994 on the bank of the River Ob amidst the endless expanses of the Siberian taiga. The well-known Siberian entrepreneur Vladimir Megre met with two elderly gentlemen who told him about the amazing properties of the Siberian cedar (also known in the West as the Siberian pine ). At first he didn't pay much attention to what they told him, but as he continued to reflect on it, Vladimir began to discover, in the historical and scientific literature he examined, more and more evidence supporting their words. Finally he decided to organize an expedition with a fleet of river steamers. The expedition was ostensibly for commercial purposes, but in actual fact his overriding motivation was to find the elders again and learn more about the secrets of the cedar."
Has anyone read this volume of books? I would like to know more about them; I will be looking for them in used bookstores in the area.

Hi Hunter,
I have read the first one, the ringing cesars. I loved it. The author has put some amazing insights into a beautiful novel. Aparently as you read the whole series, they just get better and better! I can't wait to read the next one.
I should warn you though, there is a funny twist at the end, where the author claims that the whole story was real, and actually happened to him.  Who knows... maybe it did. Or maybe it's a good way of selling books, in the line of Carlos Castaneda?
