Sommaire:
A novel of character-driven, literary action and adventure of a man challenged with family psychosis who finds his purpose in life. This is the first book of the Dream Messiah series. Author Randy L Scott takes us on a wild journey from the mountains and wilderness forests of Alaska to the jungle of Borneo. This epic saga draws inspiration from Lawrence and Lorne Blair's 'Ring of Fire, ' the psychological portraits and action from the writings of Jack London, Joseph Conrad, and Daniel Defoe, with the mystic elements from Carlos Castaneda's Yaqui sorcerer Don Juan. Jake Barnes hitchhiked to Alaska to build his dream-a cabin in the wilderness, but he never lost his desire for revenge on those back home who've wronged him. His biggest fear, other than the grizzly bear stalking him, is the mental afflictions and psychotic episodes that run in his family. The harder he fights, the more he loses as he finds his life and grasp of reality is spinning out of control. HIs sourdough, survivalist neighbor tells Jake of a primitive, nomadic tribe, the Punan Dyaks, on the island of Borneo. Their prophecy is that messiah that will come to them through their dreams-or is it just the ramblings of another Alaskan derelict? Everyone has advice for Jake on how to handle his strong-willed fianc?e, Kat. After their child is born, Kat has her own agenda. Neighbor and self-appointed mentor, Dave, advises the path of ruthless action to counteract the doubt and self-pity Jake is sliding into. As he learns the consequences of his decisions, more than one person wants Jake Barnes to burn in hell, another hand is guiding him into baptism by fire. He knows that once he crosses that line, there is no turning back.--Publisher's description....
