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.

Your synopsis puts in mind "What is the What" and other books in Dave Eggers' oral history series.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'd like to learn more about Argentina's history and struggles.
Hmm, I wonder what else Davidson has written...
ReplyDeleteYour review describes a fascinating book based on oral histories. With its multiple themes interwoven into the main plot of saving David's wife from an Argentinian prison. It appears that the author is able to add unique twists and turns in the action to keep the reader intrigued and motivated to keep on reading the book. It is the type of book I would love to read and I am putting the title in my TBR list.
