This novel is about a fictitious teacher/writer/surfer who bounces around the U.S. writing and espousing strange theories about objects and energy. The False Prophet of Fennimore Place as he (Joe Kaye) is called starts off in Hawaii where he is awakened by whispering noises in the middle of the night. After a recurring dream, Joe Kaye begins to believe that he may have been a Hawaiian in a past life. He starts looking for proof (via a message he left for himself) of this reincarnation.

The novel is unique in that it is told from three different perspectives, during three different time periods. The novel is actually three separate stories Nightmarchers, The Chemicals Between Us, and The Spit of Siann. Although all stories have similar themes, they are very different from each other.

The Chemicals Between Us takes place in the future after the human race has become extinct, when Drogen (an elephant looking alien) who is a delivery boy picks up the ghost of Joe Kaye on a Lost Planet called Lantis. Through Drogen's flashbacks of Joe Kaye the reader begins to experience many of Joe Kaye's abstract philosophies. We learn about Joe Kaye's obsession with cheating death and his practicing a new religion called Voodoo Botany. We also get to read a bit of his poetry including an amazing poem called The Road Not Taken- The Reincarnation.

The last story (The Spit of Siann) takes place after Joe Kaye has left Hawaii and is from the perspective of a messed-up little girl named Siann Campbell. Siann is about to spawn a virus that will prove to be more fatal than AIDS and the Ebola virus combined, and the virus appears to look a lot like a flower.

The last story fits in nicely with the other two and gives Joe Kaye a depth and realness that most science fiction novels DO NOT HAVE.
