Relax You Are Going to Die
Daniel Storm, who lives in Santa Fe, has a prophetic dream in which he sees a monk pointing to a cave. Daniel recognizes the monk as the same monk he saw when he was in a coma at the age of six, after having been in an accident. He also recognizes the landscape as somewhere south of Assisi in Italy.
Daniel’s friend Gianni, who lives in Italy, helps Daniel identify the exact cave the monk was pointing to. Daniel decides to meet Gianni and explore the cave. An earthquake collapses the tunnels, and the men are trapped. When tragedy befalls Gianni and realizing that they can’t get out, Daniel digs deeper into the mountain until he reaches a cavern. On a ledge he discovers an ancient manuscript written in medieval French.
As Daniel grows ever weaker; he spends his time translating the manuscript, slowly unlocking its meaning, which shocks him to the core.
Eventually he can no longer distinguish the present from the past or future and reality from dreaming.
Daniel embarks on a spiritual journey, meeting several of his incarnations through time. The manuscript seems to be the catalyst for his odyssey into consciousness.

Reviewer: Robert Koplowitz "Oaktown Reader" (Oakland, ca) - See all my reviews
I had a hard time putting this book down, but there were times when I just had to. Relax You Are Going To Die is a double black diamond journey and it needs to be carefully explored and discovered. de Haas skillfully brings the reader along a path where indivuduals are separated from body (vessels is the term de Haas uses) and time is nothing more than a medium. The result is a complex tapestry that allows the story to be told across the boundaries of time space and culture.
de Haas bravely avoids the formulaic. As we discover through dreams and fantasies as well as introspection and self-discovery that he has lived and interacted with the same souls over many lives. Thankfully, he avoids placing himself at the center of the story by making the main character someone famous in a former life. The other intersting thing is that de Haas leaves us on the edge of what seems a great drama. Clearly,at the end of "Relax", the main character Daniel has only learned that there is something great yet to be done.
All in all a wonderful read that leaves you waiting to see where this fascinating story will take us next.
Kudos for a fabulous first novel. |
