| Publisher Description: Jake is a historical fantasy novel with an African-American protagonist. It integrates historical truths and imaginative precepts including extraterrestrials. This novel attempts to introduce a new type of fictional writing allowing the author to design an edifying plot with a universal theme. It deals with intuitive and theoretical notions that waver on real scientific issues. In the instance of this novel, serious considerations are made, about linguistics and language development; this makes this saga more than just a story.This tale is about Jake and his cohorts with alter egos of which Jako, an extraterrestrial, is one of them. Jako's residency on Earth is in its finality when Jake comes into the picture, but this doesn't mean that Jako dies, because he never dies. Jako is caught in an eternal scheme launching from his home planet somewhere in outer space. His term on Earth is limited to four hundred years. Jako picked the ethnicity of his human disguise; he chose to be an African slave commencing during the antebellum period in America. The other alter ego is Yacub who is from the same solar system but a different planet as Jako; after Jako's departure Yacub becomes the mien. JAKE is science fiction which uses history and science to respond to and to elaborate on contemporary issues. Although this saga is full of suggestions, both pedantry and social, its purpose is to reflect on condition and predicament in order to offer sociological admonition based on philosophical principle. This novel is about human fallacies and inadequacies. It, too, is a psychological novel. This book references history to reflect human reality. It is an innovative approach to set plot and theme in a fictional drama that actually deals with questions of theology, philosophy, and linguistics. This novel explores the unanswerable. Although the plot maneuvers on a particular line of theological persuasion which argues the oneness of a divine entity, the theme transcends and addresses the notions of human universality. JAKE is a study in human behavior. This story opens when Jake prompts the fatality of a gangster who robs him. As a result of killing the hoodlum Jake is introduced to alter egos who are space travelers. The homily of this novel engages in a multiplicity of discourse while this multiple dogma is the mechanism which enables the plot to move toward a universal theme. The space travelers are the participant observers in human social phenomena; their interpretations of human behavior dispatch them to condemn human conduct because of innate human prejudices. The theme revolves around the idea of criminality and how social institutions make such determinations. Throughout the story, Jake's major concern is his act of manslaughter and the deserving punishment. This leads to a philosophical argument which seeks remedy. The plot moves in the direction of social prejudice in the guise of the NewSouth Africa; it reveals societal detriment when demagoguery slips into the body politic. This novel replicates dire social maladies, and it attempts to offer philosophical remedies. The implicit contention of this novel is that reality is an infinite galactic experience where despite the distances of different solar systems, everything in the universe is ultimately related. The definitive inclusion of the NewSouth Africa in this saga is indicative of a human and social pathology which reigns throughout the universe, ironically, without all these, the good and the bad, mortal existence would have no meaning. Jake reaches for definitions and relationships in the sense of cosmic reality with an underlining theme which argues for the acceptance of what is. Intuitively, this novel suggests the inter-galactic relationship between mankind and all that exists. It tries to discover the line between fantasy and reality by mentioning real current issues which influence modern social behavior. This is Volume 2. |
