This is an odd book, hard to characterize. I think my brother, Walter, puts it well. “It's like The Man from Earth, meets Forrest Gump.” I suppose “supernatural thriller” is as good a description as any. The story seemed to drag a bit at points, as the main character kept meeting and aiding 'not yet' famous people throughout his long life. But it kept me engaged, and those chance meetings turned out to be important toward the end of the book. The one conceit of this story is that religions are mostly based on falsehoods – but, that there is a supernatural kernel of truth.
The cover text is a pretty good introduction. Read that first before deciding if you want to read it.
The audio version is a nicely done multi-cast presentation.
Solid four stars.
