The Prospect of My Arrival

Here’s the set-up:

An experiment is launched to see if an embryo that comes into the world by choice rather than by chance will result in a happier human. Prospect, the embryo, is given a starter kit of human knowledge. To help him decide whether he wants to be born, he meets a wide range of specimens.

Scientist Trish Mesmer oversees Prospect, though she has more hidden agendas than a centipede has legs. New pal Trevor grows committed to derailing the experiment all together. This tale is served up with equal helpings of whimsy and dread, with just a dash of hope. In the 2008 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards, the book was selected by Penguin editors as one of the top ten books out of 5,000.

More praise for The Prospect of My Arrival:

  • “…takes the reader on an engrossing and moving journey into the meaning of life…keeps the pages turning until its satisfying and touching conclusion.” – Publishers Weekly review of novel as entered in the 2008 Amazon contest
  • “…intriguing questions raised in this elegant book by Dwight Okita, a Chicago poet making his debut as a novelist. The Prospect of My Arrival is a book that is serious, poignant and engaging…cool technological devices such as the Preb-Cam, the CyberSavant and hyper-holograms.” – Windy City Times (full review at http://bit.ly/qKqfhl)
  • “What emerges is a remarkable combination of innocence and irony. Prospect’s experiences are unforgettable, and his struggle to make sense of things is dramatic.”- Floyd Kemske, author of the novel Human Resources: A Corporate Nightmare

About The Author

NEWS FLASH: Okita recently received an email from a woman at Disney Studios who read this book and loved it and wanted to inquire about possible movie rights! The conversation continues…

Visit Okita’s website at dwightland.homestead.com. He’s working on a second novel called The Hope Store which is about the first store in the world to sell hope over the counter. Their slogan reads: “We don’t just instill hope. We install it.” A previously suicidal customer experiences big hope for the first time in her life, but nothing goes as planned. And an ambitious reporter goes out in search of a scam.
