The Reficul Parallax

About the Book

It is 2003. George Bush has just appeared aboard a Navy carrier flashing a “Mission Accomplished” banner. In England, a Wicca coven warns British Intelligence of a prophecy to assassinate a future US president. It is to be carried out by Ramses, the son of the Anti-Christ. British MI-5 notifies the CIA. The CIA enlists the Hawaii Attorney General because Ramses was last known to be in Hawaii. Hawaii authorities discover that there is more to the prophecy besides a potential assassination. If the assassination is carried out, it will lead to the start of Armageddon. To prevent the fulfillment of the prophecy, Ramses must be reunited with the Anti-Christ in ancient Babylon, now modern-day Iraq. The Bible believing Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii sees this as another piece of evidence of the approaching End-Times. He recruits Honolulu narcotics detective Jake Cohen-Garcia, a former Navy SEAL. Jake is the ideal Anti-Christ bounty hunter because of his born again Christian reputation and his unique Jewish-Hispanic DNA. Jake’s DNA heritage matches up perfectly with links connected to the Wicca prophecy. Jake is teamed up with two investigators and a certified exorcist priest. They form a unique investigative unit: “The God Squad.” The squad’s mission is to locate Ramses and short-circuit the prophecy of Armageddon. The mission takes the squad into the bizarre world of the occult and quantum mechanics that challenges their faith, their strength, and their sanity—the battles with the paranormal compound, Cohen-Garcia’s struggle with his personal demons and split personality. It threatens to destroy his faith, along with his family, as it propels him toward his own destruction. In the end, Jake’s salvation comes from an up-close and personal confrontation with Ramses, a holy man from another world. The salvation of the world hangs in the balance.

About the Author

In one dimension of his life, David Heaukulani spent 26 years in law enforcement in municipal, state and federal agencies. As first responders, veteran cops can share a host of reports of paranormal sightings ranging from poltergeists to UFOs. It is a global phenomenon. The goat man report of Lake Walsh, Texas in 1969, is no different from the reports of the goat man of Pohakuloa, Hawaii in 1989. Many veterans never ever file official reports of these experiences. But they do share them during cop get-togethers. In another dimension of his life, David Heaukulani is a born-again Christian. It was the result of a spirit possession incident during a hurricane in Hawaii. The experience challenged his training and confidence in facts and empirical observation. It led him on a decades-long research in the occult and Hawaiian spirituality. He observed and participated in many spirit possession cases during that period. Accordingly, The Reficul Parallax is a work of fiction; but David Heaukulani weaves into the story line a synthesis of reports of the paranormal from veteran cops and those who were afflicted with the unexplained. David lives in Hilo, Hawaii with his wife Gay and their menagerie of pets. He teaches part-time at the local campus of the University of Hawaii. Because of his reputation, his assistance is requested in numerous local incidents of spirit possession of homes and persons.
