Book Description
Go East, Young Man, the sequel to Dreamfarer, is an "on the road" adventure story that takes place 150 years in the future. Sam Adams, along with Boone and Alan Webster, travelsfrom San Francisco all the way to Denver, having dangerous encounters on the way. Sam, who played a vital role in shutting down the San Francisco Dream Services Center and waking up half a million dreamers, hopes to meet a mysterious contact in Denver who will recruit him for his next mission. The goal of the nationwide Resistance is to cripple the Dream Factories completely and wake up all Americans, saving them from their psychic dependence on machine-induced dreams, which are far more exciting and fulfilling than the often dull existence of ordinary life. Severely injured, Sam almost died in his narrow escape from the Center. He feels lucky to be alive and to have the two companions he does. Alan was a pol (policeman) in San Francisco, and Boone is a jack-of-all-trades who’s good at fixing things. Later, though, Sam wonders if Boone appeared too conveniently in his customized car to rescue them, and if he can be trusted. They have barely begun their quest across an America that has regressed to being a lawless frontier. Wherever they stop, thieves and murderers attack them. Will they ever survive to reach their destination?

Theophilus Merlan, a shy geologist, courageously saves an alien boy's life on the planet Yellowsand and acquires some of his DNA.

The situation is complicated further by the threat of the Speaker's grandson, who hates Merlan and seeks to kill him because the Speaker has chosen a human to be the next Speaker in his place. Merlan finds he must do more than just hold onto his sanity and adjust to his changing abilities and perceptions. He must also be a father to an alien boy and cope with his growing love for Ann Benson, the mission's navigator. As he becomes increasingly alien, Merlan wonders if they have any chance at happiness. His task of saving the Shakk race seems hopeless, yet he feels he must try even if it costs him his life.
