The Visitor

The Visitor is Chin Ce's full length novel and third in the series. Set in a future time, a movie scene has triggered in Deego, the viewer, series of experiences which draw back to a history of crime and death in an African nation. Corruption permeates the entire fabric of this third-world state and the youths have lost all direction in life. But another world confronts us with the reality of an advanced line of kinsmen who live up to their roles as teachers and healers of the human race. Mensa, who was Deego, and also Erie in the land of his ancestors, must go back and retrieve his memory lost from the gun blast that took his life on earth.
Chin Ce is seen here concerned with the quest beyond violence for wholeness signified in a lost memory, a quest which spans multiple dimensions of existence intertwined in past, present and future and involving Erie, Mensa, Deego as same soul entities like Zeta, Sena, Sarah. Here the novelist is not so much concerned with the follies and frailties of living as with the inexorable growth that attends human actions and pushes the frontiers of awareness beyond the ken of mundane lives.
