Bridge Through the Stars is a powerful romance...an aspirational, coming-of-age story that deals with our origins, as well as our prior and current role in the universe while seeking our future among the stars. PRAISE FOR THE METAPHYSICAL FICTION OF PIERO RIVOLTA: "An evocative, romantic, thought-provoking read, Journey Beyond 2012 deals with issues we can all relate to in an original, imaginative way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel." --- Derek Han, International concert pianist "Piero Rivolta gives us a refreshing alternative to the dystopian scenarios predicted for the world when the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. Instead, he offers a quiet meditation on the nature of our existence, an exposition on the hope for mankind to awaken to the goodness and creativity that lie within each of us." --- Donna Marie Smith, Librarian, Palm Beach County Library System, West Palm Beach, Florida "Piero Rivolta's engaging novel, Journey Beyond 2012, is a cosmic morality tale that is brimming with anticipation. Through the lens of a philosophical kaleidoscope laced with wisdom, the story simultaneously takes us forward and backwards in time. Its variable themes include Wall Street, the politics of innuendo and distortion, and the DNA of survival." --- Stephanie Dale, Author, My Pilgrim's Heart "If you're going to read one novel before the world ends on December 21st, 2012, make it Piero Rivolta's provocative Journey Beyond 2012!" --- Rik Feeney, Author, book coach
