"Going Deeper: How to make sense of your life when your life makes no sense" opens with the introduction. This is where the author indicates that if the reader is saddened by the way humans treat each other, suffers from allergies, feels a bit alienated from family and friends, likes to gaze at the stars and thinks often of UFOs and are more comfortable with plants or animals than people; then you too may be one of the seventy million wanderers who are here on earth. These Wanderers are here to help with the impending shift or end of the earth as we know it.

The novelized portion of the work begins with Chapter one wherein we meet Larry who has no dog and views dogs and their owners with some amusement. A freak tornado in 1999 was to change Larry’s life in many ways. While he was not in Norman, Oklahoma for the F5 incident; events were set in place that would bring Larry and a most unbelieveable dog together. It did not take Larry long to learn that Zeus was no ordinary dog.

Writer Jean-Claude Koven presents one man’s spiritual journey tying many New Age concepts in a single work of fiction. "Going Deeper: How tomake sense of your life when your life makes no sense" takes place in part in the Joshua Tree National Park, an abstruse, most fascinating bit of desert area under any circumstance.
