"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 fiancâe, 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.

Autorenporträt
I was born under the sign of Trouble Ahead with Eddie Haskell rising and itchy feet in alignment with a short attention span. I was one of those kids, curious, defiant and too smart for my britches. Long after I was put to bed, I was under the covers with a flashlight reading Boy's Life magazine, the official rag of the Boy Scouts. I was fascinated with camping, backpacking and woodsmanship. I became a Scout at twelve years old and fell in love with the outdoor experience. Library was my favorite class in early grade school. Our teacher read to us such classics as: Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island, Robinson Carouse, Five on a Treasure Island, and The Mad Scientist Club. Soon I was reading PT-109, Sea Wolf, Call of the Wild, and Last of the Mohicans. In my teens and early twenties, I followed authors Carlos Castaneda, Hermann Hesse, Kurt Vonnegut, Saul Bellow, Tom Robbins, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury and secretly; Robert E Howard of the Conan the Barbarian series of adventures. It always amazed me how fiction authors create places, characters, whole lives and stories, and I wanted to do that too. I dreamed of writing tales that were engaging, flowing and fulfilling - but didn't know what the heck to write about until this story popped into my head and said hello. This series is by no means autobiographical, but many of the scenes are based on adventures and experiences I've had building cabins, commercial fishing and avoiding bears. I spent the better part of sixteen years of my adult life in Alaska before bouncing between Hawaii and Arizona and settling in California. The genesis for this saga came while hiking across the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. I took a break from the one hundred and ten-degree heat and lay in the shade of a cactus, watching the clouds hang in the sky and daydreaming. In my head I saw the story of a young man in Alaska getting taken into the Dreamtime of another culture and finding his home. It's taken many years to chisel away and expose the story, hone the details and polish it into something presentable. Thank God for editors!
