Savior: An Old Notion in a New Novel of Unthinkable Absurdity

Family circumstances force Joshua, a nine-year old Jewish boy from Brooklyn to embark on a preposterous, often hilarious journey half way around the world. What happens to him and his twelve, adult traveling companions, as they find themselves immersed in a strange political crises in Israel, drives the plot toward its inevitable yet unpredictable, shocking conclusion. The story belongs to Joshua. Other key figures are his mother, his widowed grandfather Grumper, his grandfather's woman friend, members of the ragtag, eclectic travel group that surrounds Joshua, and Israel's prime minister, Solomon Steckler.
