Résumé :
Undying Love Mystery Sealed in the Great Beyond DREAMSTAR - Ghostly Call A ship's bell faintly sounded in the distance. In this direction, David looked up higher toward the large Magellan Cloud and its entrance guard, the Tarantula Star. For several seconds, a deadly quiet engulfed the drifting, mysterious clouds. Then he saw it. The mariner's vessel... sailing into the large cloud formation. David knew the ghostly figure garbed in hooded white, positioned at the helm. The spirit beckoned, waiting. - Rendezvous above the Southern Cross, Ch. 15 A courageous leap up into the night sky to answer a ghostly call of his deceased grandfather - an Army casualty of the Vietnam War - leads to frightening and supernatural events for David Raymond Stone. Reality and recurring dreams have become almost indistinguishable as David wrestles with his tormented thoughts about honoring a war-slain grandfather whose name is etched on a menacing black Wall, while trying to unravel a forgotten mystery. Having reached a pivotal point in life as sudden, blossoming love delights his senses and captivates his heart, David grows more perplexed as his grandfather's spirit carries him to seafaring venues revealing a mariner's means, a brass key perhaps fitting a wooden box, and a long-lost letter - all seemingly connected to Polaris. Painting starry constellations to win a possible art scholarship, and hoping for a chance with ethereal beauty Rachel, are at the highest rung while David copes with life-threatening, dangerous odds at school. Still, to complicate David's struggles further, the mysterious ghost continues to pursue him - an entity that he had never seen, or before known - yet appears to be somehow, like him. DREAMSTAR Ghostly Call connects mystery and generational love with real war history, changing a family's life by the loss of their beloved relative, a patriotic young Army soldier who served in the Vietnam War. Jonathan David Stone was that brave solider, doing his duty, as ordered by his country, when killed in action. This book is meant to hold sacred all the brave American men and women [tragically so many young like this story's symbolic spirit] who sacrificed and served in a senseless war - and looks to God for solace and guidance in healing. In connecting with his grandfather's spirit and the North Star, David Raymond Stone may just find it's only the beginning of finding the eternal key to all that should be known, and held forever, sacred. ...
