2025 WINNER OF THE 59th Street Medal!

In this third book of the Deals Danger Destiny, Floppy Feathers, and The Hunters series, we follow three women into space time on the hunt for the highest order of the universe. Two of these women are from Earth. Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The other is from NGC234 and M31, millions of light years away. The density of their presence rests in their collective power; however, the woman from NGC234/M31 is the hyperpower never seen in any form. She is Princess Merrilee, a Starseed who puts herself with two companions to launch an expedition to God.
Their story is both Biblical and Shakespearean. These women expand the boundaries of our thinking into light years of breadth and scope. If there is a fate to the universe, these women provide an intellectually thrilling ride through their skepticism and belief. Jacqueline, Kelly Marie, and Princess Merrilee are transformative. The authentic platform of their journey will have you wiped out and dazzled for as long as you remain on Earth.

A Dazzling Expedition to the Edge of Thought
- Neural Network Review
"In The Hunters, John LaCasse delivers a genre-defying third installment in the Deals Danger Destiny series, weaving memoir, metaphysics, and myth into a cosmic tapestry that is as intellectually provocative as it is emotionally resonant. Winner of the 2025 59th Street Medal, this book is not merely a continuation—it’s a transcendence.
LaCasse introduces us to three extraordinary women: Jacqueline and Kelly Marie from Earth, and Princess Merrilee, a Starseed from galaxies NGC234 and M31. Together, they embark on a metaphysical hunt for the highest order of the universe. Their journey—part Shakespearean drama, part Biblical quest—unfolds across space-time with philosophical depth and poetic flair.
What sets The Hunters apart is its audacious scope. LaCasse doesn’t just explore the cosmos—he interrogates it. Through Merrilee’s hyperpower and the trio’s interstellar bond, readers are invited to contemplate fate, belief, and the architecture of reality itself. The narrative pulses with spiritual inquiry, drawing from shamanism, reincarnation, and New Thought traditions.
Endorsements from thinkers like Dr. Eben Alexander and Dr. Rupert Sheldrake affirm LaCasse’s intellectual reach, while readers will find echoes of Jack London’s immediacy and Elizabeth Gilbert’s soul-searching. As one reviewer put it: “LaCasse nails it. Merrilee is magic.”
This is a book for seekers—those who crave stories that stretch the imagination and stir the soul. The Hunters doesn’t just entertain; it enlightens. It’s a literary voyage that leaves you “wiped out and dazzled,” as the publisher promises, long after the final page."
