Temporary Insanity, Operation Detour, Dobie's Dilemma, Lottery President and Another Way have been stitched together as an episodic saga starring Dobie Pokorny.
Dobie’s twenties in L.A. are a blur of temp jobs and one disastrous romance with a cult member named Venelia. When that implodes, he escapes to Kuala Lumpur, where he’s drawn into the dangerous orbit of Riva, a secret‑agent‑in‑training whose world is built on shadows and secrets.
Nashville offers no refuge. He marries a woman who resembles Riva but is not her, and when he and his colleague Darla expose corruption inside their company, they’re forced into Witness Protection.
Resurfacing in Louisville, Dobie’s fortunes swing wildly when he wins the lottery. Instead of laying low, he launches an impulsive presidential campaign, putting himself back in the crosshairs of powerful enemies.
Still searching for meaning, he writes a manifesto and takes his message on the road. The universe answers with Semmy — a little blue alien whose motives are as unclear as the danger closing in.
Hunted by Colonel Charonne and Major Watson, Dobie finally finds an anchor in Kaylie, the first person who brings clarity to the chaos surrounding him. But even hope comes with consequences.
