Barnacle scraper.And a maimed Calypso, soiled Sirens, and the Circe of Circes.As old wounds reopen and secrets unravel-from a Nazi past to killings to betrayal after betrayal-can any of them reclaim what was lost, or will the storms of the past drown them all?And will Myles Kern-after a lifetime of wrong turns and broken dreams; of striking out, running the wrong way, and dropping the ball; of battling divorce lawyers and plaintiff's lawyers and IRS agents-find his way back to the woman, and the home, where he belongs?"The Rain Catcher is touching and inventive, filled with sharp wit, poignant moments, and unforgettable characters. Dennis Dunigan transforms an ancient epic into a moving modern tale."- Quinn Jamison, author of The Art of Time series"Beautifully written, expertly crafted, with crisp, witty dialogue, The Rain Catcher is a book lover's catch."- Dan Freeman, author of Nasparnival(TM)"The Rain Catcher is a wonderful character-driven novel. The characters are interesting, quirky and they pull the reader into the world Dunigan has created, but we stay because we need to know what happens to these characters. The ending ties together the various threads in a satisfying way. A novel well-worth reading."-Russell Gerney, author of The Methuselah Project
