Holy Man: Angel walk amongst us

Holy Man, the transcendent finale to Mike Davis's Shawn McQueen Trilogy, is a profound exploration of consciousness, faith, and humanity's yearning to understand its own divine origin. Told through a voice that spans lifetimes - from the cosmic and eternal to the intimately human - the story traces the birth, awakening, and spiritual evolution of Shawn Hugh McQueen, a man destined to bridge the ancient and the modern, the scientific and the spiritual.
From his miraculous survival at birth in postwar Iowa, Shawn carries within him the awareness of something larger - a celestial curiosity that follows him through his youth in small-town America to the sunlit shores of California, where science and spirituality collide. His pursuit of truth takes him through the world of academia, marine biology, and self-discovery, but ultimately beyond the material world into a journey of the soul.
Through richly layered prose, Davis fuses realism with the metaphysical. Shawn's story unfolds as both a memoir and a revelation - a chronicle of one man's awakening to the realization that existence itself is sacred. Themes of love, loss, mortality, and moral inheritance recur as Davis links the struggles of ordinary life to the vast cosmic drama of creation.
The novel opens with a celestial voice - "I watched you coalesce from the stardust in the boiling womb of creation" - and from that moment, the reader is swept into a narrative that fuses the physical and spiritual into one continuum. As Shawn moves between worlds, he becomes a reflection of humanity's own divided soul - brilliant yet uncertain, yearning for connection yet drawn to transcendence.
By turns humorous, heartbreaking, and visionary, Holy Man completes Davis's sweeping trilogy with luminous grace. It is both the culmination of Shawn McQueen's journey and a meditation on life itself - a reminder that the divine spark resides not only in heaven, but in every human heart that dares to wonder why we are here.
