Short description

This first in the series chronicles a covert mystic's efforts to have a television technician reinterpret his experiences in the world’s hot spots, and recognize a design in his travels that was at once an outrage to reason, a blasphemy to religion, and undeniable: he was witness to the end-of-the-world "cycle" of events preceding the arrival of ancient emissaries--the Second Coming scenario.

Extended description

While writing a behind-the-scenes war coverage novel, John meets Bonnie, whose own writings deal with the design of destiny, miracles, and apparently him; she transparently dangles mystical intrigues from her story to secure his help developing a difficult aspect of her plot.
Hesitantly, she explains that her tale involves a rescue mission of such massive proportion and intricate design that participants have to undergo rigorous training, and that she needs a man of John’s specialized background to go through key lessons. Without this intimate knowledge of a trainee’s development, she claims her story would sound like a child’s fantasy, and not the preparations required for the true mission that it is. For this reason, the target is kept secret from participants until they are ready to hear it. This includes him.
As an average looking man, whose naiveté had been savaged in places like San Salvador and Beirut, John reasons that a romance between them is no more absurd..

Hesitantly, she explains that her tale involves a rescue mission of such massive proportion and intricate design that participants have to undergo rigorous training, and that she needs a man of John’s specialized background to go through key lessons. Without this intimate knowledge of a trainee’s development, she claims her story would sound like a child’s fantasy, and not the preparations required for the true mission that it is. For this reason, the target is kept secret from participants until they are ready to hear it. This includes him.
As an average looking man, whose naiveté had been savaged in places like San Salvador and Beirut, John reasons that a romance between them is no more absurd an idea than the ones she already embraces, and he decides to pursue Bonnie’s affections while assisting her. They subsequently work closely, often combatively, while she keeps him at bay like a bemused fox playing with a myopic rabbit, even as the friction between them blossoms when she aligns his beliefs to why the rescue mission is necessary. Finally, she makes claims too ridiculous to contemplate—the many absurdities she has cleverly justified in her work notwithstanding. Realizing he has been chasing a brilliant lunatic, John decides to cut his losses. However, while gathering the courage to abandon her otherwise delightful companionship and their challenging discussions, he has what would have been inexplicable experiences if Bonnie had not surreptitiously prepared him for a miracle.
Just as Agnes Whistling Elk had positioned Lynn V. Andrews, and to where don Juan Matus had led Carlos Castaneda before her, he is ready to leap into the darkest corners of himself, because the standard of the apparently impossible has been set—the mission requires it, and he knows it can be no other way.

Review by: Lia Avalos on May 09, 2011 :
In “Stalking the Average Man”, the author takes the unsuspecting reader on a roller coaster ride of self-discovery through his own eyes; the eyes of an average man in denial of his tortured past. As John unwittingly peers into the pool of self-reflection, the reader cannot resist becoming entangled in this cleverly written, multi-layered exposition about the design of destiny, the curiosity of coincidences and the undeniable reality of universal power. This book is destined to become a revolutionary classic that can be read over and over again, each time uncovering something new!
