About the Book

The Book of Daniel is the chronicle of a not-too-distant future world irreversibly altered by scientific experimentation in gender manipulation and cloning. The story unfolds through the eyes of Emmit Payne, a young man who is systematically and methodically influenced by the mysterious and charismatic Daniel. Promised gifts beyond his young imagination, Emmit is drawn deeper and deeper into Daniel's bizarre world.

Daniel, a beautiful and enigmatic youth, mysteriously appears in Emmit's small western town one day, and people are irresistibly drawn to the fascinating stranger. Over time, Daniel brings Emmit to his eccentric home deep within the forest and reveals a family history that has changed the world and altered the future of humankind.

A genius in bioengineering, Daniel's father headed Project Rewind, a classified government project aimed at correcting the horrors engendered by experimental cloning. When the scientist realized he had been creating clones for a very different purpose, he turned against the project and devised a plan of his own. And his plan would involve the resurrection of some of the greatest minds, famous beauties and terrifying warriors in world history.

Daniel's most loyal companion, Emmit becomes a key factor in putting the international plot in motion. But he soon realizes he hasn't been told the whole story and that he stands to lose all the gifts he has gained, including his beloved wife, a future-world Marilyn Monroe. The Book of Daniel is a classic tale of love, adventure and betrayal taken to a new millennium.
