Summary

Have you ever wanted to escape to a place where you could order a cup of coffee, a glass of water, and a new life? Michael Wyman has. Disillusioned and in search of something unknown, he finds himself at a cafe on a deserted road in the north woods of Michigan's Upper Peninsula at three o'clock in the morning. There, he encounters Angelina, the most beautiful woman he's ever met. She takes his order and introduces him to a whole new way of life. But what he doesn't know about Angelina could hurt him. She's the spousal partner of a missing Nobel Prize laureate, William C. Fischer-Michael's longtime friend and associate. This chance meeting is more than either of them could have imagined. They embark on a twenty-fi rst-century psychological adventure that draws them, and those closest to them, into an intriguing investigation of awareness and self-discovery that uncovers a personal and global crisis concerning life, death, new life, and a common destiny. Inevitably the intricately woven mysteries of interconnected lives, unexpected entanglements, and what has been called the perennial philosophy asks: Who are you? What do you want? Why are you here?

Excerpts

I don't know how long we can hold her! Will shouted to his first mate Miguel, above the voice of the raging wind and water. The storm is just too strong! The sailing vessel, Mystic Travelers, again slid safely down the wall of a massive wave despite the razor's edge trajectory. Any miscalculation would topple the schooner and drop the five crew members into the raging waters of Lake Superior. Get below and prepare the transporter! We may have to abandon ship any moment. Put Sonja between us to relay the order on my command. We must prepare to transport immediately! Miguel responded with haste. Will's voice was becoming hoarse from the continuous shouting necessary to communicate in this rogue storm. The mainsail was fully reefed and the jib and genoa were rolled up and tied off. The line of sail necessary to descend the massive waves was almost impossible to follow. His masterful sailing abilities were being tested to the maximum. Will used every ounce of his energy to hold the wheel, direct his first mate, and make the necessary adjustments to keep the vessel from capsizing. The slide of the schooner down the wave was executed perfectly by Will once again, giving his four colleagues time to prepare for transport. A Coast Guard helicopter appeared overhead but couldn't help due to the enormity of the gale. The lake swelled again. Will, still at the helm, worked diligently guiding Mystic Travelers down another steep and narrow trajectory along the wave. A third of the way down, the wind changed direction abruptlly, gusted, then blew hard and steady. Will was unable to correct for the aberration. The ship began to fall off the wall of water. Will yelled, Energize! and heard the command echoed by Sonja. The ship toppled off the wave, rolled, and dropped two stories through the air into the turbulent water. The wave they'd been riding crashed down upon them cloaking the schooner. Everything went dark. The ship and crew disappeared and never surfaced. The storm raged on.
