Book Description

We've heard the tales. The eternal struggle between good and evil. Many religions are based on the concepts. God, Satan, angels and demons; ideals interwoven into our very existence.

Most all have chosen a side, whether they admit it to themselves or not. Many have at least a basic understanding of what is happening. Some have even discovered secrets beyond the veil of what we see. However, there are a few, who not only understand the war, but are in the very thick of it.

This is the story of Spyder Bones, a mystic warrior.

It's the summer of 1969 and Aaron Prescott is a seasoned soldier. After serving one tour of duty in Vietnam as a cavalryman, Aaron returns for a second tour as a combat medic.

Aaron's life revolves around the love of his Vietnamese girlfriend, the danger of combat and his passion for music. It's not an overly complicated existence. But that's about to change.

Aaron, or Spyder as he is known to his friends, suffers a near death experience during combat. He is subsequently trapped in a comatose state for months. During this time, he is exposed to an unseen war. A spiritual struggle that most only have a vague awareness of.

Aaron must make some difficult decisions. But, regardless of anything else, he knows his life will never be the same.

What a great thrill ride. Spyder is a soldier and is injured in batlle. He is in a coma and becomes aware of another war, a spiritual war. He joins the forces of light and the story blasts off from there. I found Sunny to be a great character as well. She leads Spyder to his first contact by "inviting," him to a party, Spyder can't refuse. She then helps him in many ways though she does not even realize she is often doing so. It's just a great story with lots of twists and turns! You need to check this one out.
