Omniscient

When seven-year-old Jeremy Doolin walks out the front door of his parents' campground cabin in the expansive Monongahela National Forest and disappears as if from the face of the Earth, the search begins in earnest. But for Dan Doolin, who will never give up on his son, the years are no barrier to finding him. But Jeremy had with him his G.I. Joe doll and six bronze proof National Forest coins from the Franklin Mint. Somehow, forty-three years later, two of the coins resurface; one in the same National Forest where Jeremy went missing and in the hand of an aging hiker who is found naked atop a mountain with his outstretched arms to the sky during a terrible storm, and the other appearing from the hands of an L.A. street preacher on the opposite side of the continent. But now, after all these years, Jeremy is also speaking to people in their minds, directing them separately toward an ultimate showdown with the forces of darkness that have placed the world on the brink of destruction again and again throughout history. With Tony Herter, a USDA engineer and pilot, Buford Crouch, a retired sheriff who was there for the original search all those years ago, Chuck Renwick, an L.A. County Special Crimes cop, Dan Doolin—who has changed his name to that of Hal Crooke so as to avoid having to go back to jail—has all the help he needs in the coming confrontation with the powers of darkness. But not if Bella Rider and Felton Rucker, two National Park employees, have anything to say about it.
