Beyond Exile 1.4
A fictional point-and-click interactive adaptation of Lawrence Johns' epic poem, "Beyond Exile", (published: Conscious Publishing, 2034 SW Vermont Street, Portland, OR, 97219, ISBN 9781929096046, ©2008 by Lawrence Johns, All Rights Reserved. Also by Lawrence Johns, "Love And Hate" ISBN 1929096038, ©2005 by Lawrence Johns) BEYOND EXILE is the second part of Lawrence Johns' epic poem on the cultural roots of American consciousness. Pulitzer-nominated LOVE AND HATE told the story of the rise and fall of Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties through the eyes of the Diggers. BEYOND EXILE carries the narrative though the psychology, politics and dark magic of the Seventies as Frank Glendover meets up with Carlos the Jackal spinning strange dreams in Exile. If LOVE AND HATE was Johns' Iliad, BEYOND EXILE is his Odyssey and Oedipus Rex. Lawrence Johns has been called the Poet Laureate of the Counterculture, and BEYOND EXILE, with its ancient Welsh styling of free verse, its sex and adventure, its philosophical and theological inventions, provides brilliant new evidence of a Johns counter-history that revalues the intent and function of American poetry.

Something 'Bout A Hex
What if "A" doesn't necessarily go to "B"? Or even better, you discover "B", then when "A" comes along you think, "Now I get it!". I hope you enjoy this story, as you move back and forth through time to discover something about a hex.

I highly recommend playing the game in QuestPro build 4.1.60

I played the entire game and the load/save process took less than 10 seconds.

In older builds of QuestPro, including 4.0.55, it can take between 5 and 10 minutes to load and save games

There is a also a packaged version located at
