Despite living in a time of escalating chaos, Professor Simeon Mackenzie leads a quiet life, if a lonely one. He teaches his graduate students, writes an occasional book, reads a lot, and dwells in a former beach town in California.When a mysterious woman enters his life and gives him a mind-altering device to experiment with, everything changes. Characters in ancient lore, in American history, and in Simeon's dreams spring vividly to life. What he had taken for the typical past of an adoptee unravels into a pattern of perilous secrets.The real experiment involves a race between dangerous human enhancement and discovery of the primal religion of humanity, with violent death an increasingly likely outcome. In his quest for answers and safety, Simeon is forced to realize that salvation may lurk where vision and relationship meet.
