After the death of his parents by hostile Indians, he spends ten years living with an Algonquin subtribe on Long Island. Arandel, a pretty Indian Princess, also eight years old when introduced to him by her father, the famous Chief Tackapousha, teaches him the ways of the Indians. In a treacherous attack by the Narragansetts of Connecticut, Arandel is killed trying to save Nathaniel's life. To try to reconcile her death he becomes a whaler and learns to build whaling canoes and then to harpoon whales off the coast of Long Island. Eventually he is able to adjust to Arandel's death and then reunites with Jessie, the daughter of the owner of a successful ferry and fishing business. Because of his reputation as the "Golden Warrior," a white man with blond hair who heroically defended Chief Tackapousha's settlement against the attacking Narragansetts, he came to the attention of General George Washington, leader of the colonial Continental Army. Washington recruits him as a spy and undercover Army scout. In a plot to kill Washington, planned by the British in collaboration with a renegade subtribe, the life of the future first President of the United States will be in the hands of Nathaniel Townsend.

Stephen Tryon delivers a prescient parody of an American President who wants to be a king. The book opens on a late night in the spring of 2020 with a student, whose first name also happens to be Stephen, describing his perceptions the current president and mulling over the final requirements for his masters degree. He decides to take a short break and falls asleep, only to awaken as an insect on the wall of the Oval Office observing a meeting wherein the current president is exploring the idea of staying in power by declaring himself King. Moving to one of the Oval Office windows so he can get a better view of the meeting participants, Stephen attracts the attention of a hungry bird. The bird's collision with the window jolts Stephen out of his first dream world. He "awakens" in on a lawn in the town of Green Valley, only to find himself face to face with a talking dog who claims to be Socrates. Socrates tries to help Stephen by introducing him to some of his philosopher friends. Stephen connects with an African American Jesus who is running the local homeless shelter. The two befriend a homeless young woman who is trying to decide whether to have an abortion. Jesus' words from the New Testament offer a thoughtful and non-judgmental perspective on how Jesus would behave in this situation. Jesus and Socrates, along with a host of other interesting characters, help Stephen survive adventures including a Black Lives Matter protest, a presidential rally, a day in the Senate and encounters with a sinister foreign power. He periodically snaps back into his first dream world, watching the current president and his congressional supporters manipulate events in Washington, D.C. to gain political advantage. As Stephen struggles to find his way home, his two dream worlds collide in a final, climactic court appearance.

A secular Jew spends his life as a prosecutor in Los Angeles. He goes to the California desert town of Borrego Springs and comes to believe he is a direct descendant of Aaron, Mosess older brother.

But to get this done, he encounters drug dealers, neo-Nazis, Arab sheiks, and a few billionaires. He picks up some desert characters that will take bullets for him, and they do. The journey mixes real events, true archeology, and historical figures with the creations of the novel. The challenge for the reader is to identify fact from fiction.

And you will wonder: is this fantasy, prophesy, or reality?
