THE DRIFTING LANDS BOOK 3 SERIES
I would recommend you read book 1 if you are new to the series before starting this book. This book is dedicated to my father, Larry Henegar, and to all those families dealing with and caring for a loved one afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease. Perhaps one day this disease and others like it will be eradicated and no other family will have to suffer with these things. The experience with my father has helped shape the storyline of Raytak and the concept of using VR to interact with brain-damaged patients. The passing of an Alzheimer’s patient is both relief and sadness: relief that the suffering for both patient and family is over, and sadness over what has been lost. When I returned from training six months later, the man I knew was gone, replaced by a frightened man who no longer recognized his own son. During those years, I was called up to active duty in the Army for training. The family was forced to watch the slow-motion death of my father, a process that took years. Unfortunately, with Alzheimer’s, the last days are slow in coming. I wanted him to spend his last days surrounded by the family that loved him. I wanted my dad to experience his grandkids before the disease took him from us. I moved my family from California-where I had been born and raised-to Tennessee, where my parents had retired to. He was a man of faith, dedicated to his family, and faithfully married to my mother from the time they were teenagers. He had only a high-school education, but he taught himself engineering and-without a degree-helped to design the stealth bomber and space shuttle. He was a kind and quiet man, funny, and brilliant. I was devastated my father had always been my best friend, and he was the type of man I had always aspired to be. The call confirmed our worst fears: my father had Alzheimer’s disease. My father had not been well, and she was concerned about his spotty memory. Just over fourteen years ago, I received a phone call from my mother. It is the spirt of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory. Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men.
