Shaman - Sam Polakoff

Dan Alston questioned his sanity. A successful businessman and US senator, his entire life had been plagued by strange voices and visions. The episodes were ambiguous and easily ignored. But on his 50th birthday, during a climb in the Andes, Dan Alston is involuntarily transported on a spiritual journey and shown something horrifying; an environmental apocalypse.
Dan learns he is experiencing episodes from another lifetime, a lifetime from which he has been reincarnated and once lived as a shaman during the Inca Empire. His chief of staff, Talia Clayton, tries to help him understand the meaning of his experience and to fight his demons, both real and perceived.
​While he struggles to make sense of his predicament, Dan and Talia cross paths with ancient forces reborn to hasten the Earth’s destruction by weaponizing climate change. In a race against time, Dan Alston must summon his innate courage to save the planet from an apocalyptic end.
Shaman is the story of a man who thought he knew what serving his country meant until he discovered his true purpose and the power required to fulfill it.
