Earthly Vessels by David T. Isaak
Some heroes need help. A lot of help.
All cultures have a legend of a Chosen One, a Messiah, a golden child who will be born to redeem them. But thirty-something Arby Keeling is not that guy, and Earthly Vessels is not that story.
Through a mix-up in the great metaphysical switchboard of the universe, a ritual intended to incarnate a long-awaited deity results in Arby instead. He is special, though. So, when his unorthodox energy inevitably attracts attention, Arby finds himself hunted by some who fear he has come to usurp their powers—and sought by others who wish to enlist him as an ally.
When a group of strangers gives him a crash course in navigating the ethereal planes, Arby’s scientific skepticism gives way to his newfound knowledge. As he experiences the myriad ways the physical world interlocks with the more subtle planes of existence, Arby—and the world—gradually learns who he is.
But with dark forces on his heels, he must step into his true self before the danger to him and his loved ones becomes deadly.

Author Bio:
David T. Isaak (1954-2021) was an American author of both fiction and nonfiction.
Dr. Isaak held a BA in Physics and MA and PhD degrees in resource systems. His professional work spanned the globe, taking him to over forty countries. He co-authored three technical, nonfiction books on oil and international politics, and wrote numerous papers, monographs, and multiclient studies.
David had an eclectic life. His first major in college was music, and he played piano and flute. He was a certified Bikram yoga instructor, an accomplished vegetarian cook, a creative mixologist, and an avid reader of fiction and nonfiction alike. He was driven by great characters and story, original voices, and especially by his love of the craft of writing, all of which are reflected in his own writing.
David passed away in April 2021. The five novels he left behind are as diverse as his life and span a spectrum of genres: A Map of the Edge (coming-of-age, historical fiction), Tomorrowville (dystopian sci-fi), Things Unseen (a murder mystery with metaphysical elements), Earthly Vessels (magical realism), and Smite the Waters (a political thriller, with a twist). His novels are infused with his trademark humor and insights, and shine with his love of style. These novels comprise The Isaak Collection.
