A fun, fresh take on a SF trope with enough surprises to keep readers guessing. -Kirkus Reviews

Modern-day messiah or military experiment gone awry-either way, Geoffrey Cannon, a young inspirational guru, has mad metaphysical skills... and big troubles.

In 1943, unsuspecting sailors on the USS Eldridge are subjects of a U.S. Navy experiment. Sailors die, others are maimed, including Third mate Peter Smithwick whose amputated legs are restored through advanced extraterrestrial technology. Leaving the Navy, and fleeing his hometown, he escapes his dubious rescuers to go on the lam under a new name.

2024, in the tranquil mountain town of Kleary Creek, religious handyman, and all-around nice-guy, Orvin Littney meets his new neighbor, the mysterious Geoffrey Cannon. While walking together one morning, Orvin experiences a heart attack, and is in the throes of death when Geoffrey miraculously saves his life. Miracles such as these, Orvin soon learns, account for Geoffrey's cult-like following in the mystical, self-help community.

But Geoffrey's life as a spiritual healer takes a dark turn when devotees are inexplicably murdered under grisly circumstances-all young women he'd had brief affairs with. Hikers and residents turn up dead, while rumors of a monstrous creature in the woods around Kleary Creek circulate, whispers of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti. With events growing ever more ominous, Orvin comes to believe his savior friend, Geoffrey, is somehow at the center of it all.
