Book Review - Dreamer by Phillip L. Davidson


Dreamer by Phillip L. Davidson is the story of David and a group of his fellow former Green Berets. Having all served in Vietnam and still dealing with the past, they all begin having visits from a fallen comrade, Keaton, in their dreams. The men come together to take on the mission of saving David's wife, who is being held prisoner in Argentina. Dreamer is a paranormal thriller with a religious twist, filled with obstacles and choices. It is a modern version of the age old story of good versus evil, God versus Satan. Keaton is the enigma that keeps the reader enthralled, wondering who he truly is and what his real motives are. Davidson has a large number of characters but does a brilliant job of developing each one individually and making sure the reader is not overwhelmed. He also packs in several unexpected twist that will keep you guessing. Although, this book is an action adventure it is also the story of love, Faith and belief in a higher power. Four out of five stars.
