Joe Stanton awakes... and begins frantically searching for
a
daughter he doesn't have. Who is Lorna Gwin and why is
Joe
so determined to find her? The trail quickly leads this
Episcopal priest and his girlfriend, Ella Tollefson, on a
quest as they discover Joe is not the first man to
hallucinate about Lorna Gwin. Will Joe and Ella figure out
what is going on in time to prevent a global disaster from
occurring?
I love the characters of Ella and Joe! Kenneth G. Bennett
does a marvelous job at crafting characters who are so
likable that it is easy to suspend disbelief and just go
along for the ride. I suspect, however, that EXODUS 2022
will be quite divisive due to the political and religious
undertones that permeate every aspect of the storyline.
EXODUS 2022 is an ambitious science fiction thriller.
Kenneth G. Bennett explores the connection between humans
and their environment, focusing on the intelligence of
whales in particular. Readers who enjoy environmental
themes
will relish EXODUS 2022 as Kenneth G. Bennett keeps the
reader guessing as to just how all the pieces will finally
come together.
Joe Stanton is in agony. Out of his mind over the death of
his young daughter. Unable to contain his grief, Joe loses
control in public, screaming his daughter's name and
causing
a huge scene at a hotel on San Juan Island in Washington
State.
Thing is, Joe Stanton doesn't have a daughter. Never did.
And when the authorities arrive they blame the 28-year-
old's
outburst on drugs. What they don't yet know is that others
up and down the Pacific coast-from the Bering Sea to the
Puget Sound-are suffering identical, always fatal mental
breakdowns.
With the help of his girlfriend, Joe struggles to unravel
the meaning of the hallucination destroying his mind. As
the
couple begins to perceive its significance-and Joe's role
in
a looming global calamity-they must also outwit a
billionaire weapons contractor bent on exploiting Joe's
newfound understanding of the cosmos, and outlast the time
bomb ticking in Joe's brain.
