How does someone become involved with religious fanatics who are about to take over the world? Jonas Coffey is an individual trying to keep his life in order after everything seems to go wrong. From marriages to breakdowns, his life on the water, smuggling and fatherhood, Jonas' life is an eclectic mixed bag. He is over-educated for what he does and is continually questioning his own existence. Is there something more to this life besides dissolution? When Jonas is recruited by a sect of scientific creationists whose goal is to bring about the Second Coming and make a New World using modern technology, he begins to question everything. Is this the New Age? Are these people for real or just another group of scammers? Did they recruit Jonas because he is, maybe, a re-incarnated biblical prophet? Set in Southeast Asia, Mexico, New York, Florida and the Caribbean, Behold This Dreamer is the story of a man's personal quest and struggle for identity over what others may choose for him.

From the Back Cover:

The CARIBBEAN.

A place. And like many timeless places in history, it holds many secrets.

On one of her numerous islands lay one such secret. A secret previously based only on stories.

STORIES AS OLD AS THE WORLD.

There are many groups of islands surrounding the Caribbean Basin. One group is the Virgin Islands, named by Chris Columbus after his second voyage. A pious nod to Saint Ursala and her virgin martyrs. Some hundred islands in total, large and tiny, make up the chain.

And on this Virgin Island, ST JOHN, something momentous is about to occur.

SOMETHING WONDERFUL.

Maybe.

AND YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS:

Someone once put that EVIL is simply energy -- created by a little goodness.

And too much intelligence.
