Author: D.R. Carenza
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669839494
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Can science offer continued life? Is there life, after death? Is there really a God and a soul? In the case of Mr. Bradley (Buddy) Karr, a man with little more than the ambition to get a good night’s sleep, these mysteries come to surface in the twisted events of his five recurring dreams; each traveling a path to question science and faith. Why can he recall the events of these nocturnal adventures, but not comprehend a single word of dialog. Buddy undergoes sleep observation tests with speech inducement drugs. The analytic comparisons of the gibberish recorded by the clinic and his clear awakened narrations provide clues, but they are still unable to decipher any word meanings. Buddy’s tapes are sent to linguists and cryptologists for translation whereby a startling composition is finally created; one that generates broader questions. Buddy begins his own quest to locate sources ignoring advice and warnings from his doctors and friends. Aided by of a fair-weathered friendly clergyman: Reverend John Benson, the two set out to follow clues as Buddy becomes obsessed with the pursuit of a resolution that might cost him his life and endanger his friends and colleagues. Time has become a factor as Reverend Benson ponders his own beliefs. Failure in his mission could bring him to say goodbye to a healthy vibrant young victim of an ungodly mistake .
