About the Book

No author captures the uncertainty of the times like Dr. Tim Dosemagen. Prodigies swiftly takes the reader on an amazing, eye-opening journey through space and time, ultimately leading to a clear-minded description of the early 21st Century human condition. Here, Dosemagen paints on a refreshing, broad canvas, with keen observations of the sources of power in our world - covering religion, wealth, technology and the deepest mystery of all, the human heart.   

Borrowed from the Old Latin word Prodigium, Prodigies indeed serves as an omen for the world - a warning of the possible, from a seemingly impossible viewpoint.

Dosemagen’s finely crafted narrative at once captures the zeitgeist of the Modern Age, shining light on the lasting legacies of our civilization (genes, ideas, money and actions), and describing four, frighteningly possible ends to the Age.

Prodigies is a must read for young and old, worldwide. It has become an instant classic, chronicling our times for the ages. Prodigies is not only for science fiction fans, or for spy thriller aficionados, or for students of the metaphysical. Mostly, Dosemagen has written his amazing first novel aiming toward those souls who are concerned with the fate of mankind, and perhaps most importantly, for those who wonder what it may take for our lonely civilization to avoid Armageddon.      


About the Author

Born and reared in Kenosha Wisconsin, Dr. Tim Dosemagen resides in southern California with his wife Cheryl, and children Jeremy and Mellissa.

Dr. Dosemagen served in the United States Air Force for 7 years during the Carter and Reagan Administrations as a Cryptologic Analyst, studying various military and in- dustrial entities of the Peoples Republic of China while reporting to the National Security Agency.

During his 3 years of gathering intelligence in the Republic of Korea, China launched its first submarine launched ballistic missile, while suffering several significant pilot and aircraft defections. An East Asian language and culture undergraduate degree accom-panied significant travel to Japan, the Republic of China, Hong Kong, Okinawa, Hawaii and Alaska. Dosemagen was decorated with the Air Force Achievement Medal, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, and the Air Force Commendation Medal.

After completing full-time government service in 1987, Dosemagen briefly instructed Chinese Mandarin in the Kenosha Unified School District, before joining the professional service of the Boy Scouts of America where he worked for 11 years, finishing as Director of Field Service with the Northeast Illinois Council, based in Highland Park.

He served briefly as La Leche League International’s Director of Operations. He then directed the marketing and funding of the IEF International Education Foundation, a California based organization dedicated to bridging the gap between U.S. educational opportunities and students from China, Taiwan and Korea. He now serves on the faculty of the University of Phoenix, teaching management and leadership in southern California.

In addition to his B.A. in Asian Studies from the University of Maryland, Dosemagen holds a Masters in Human Services from Murray State University, and received his Doctorate in Education from Nova Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

A Paul Harris Fellow and long time Rotarian, Dosemagen is also a Vigil Honor Member of the Order of the Arrow, an American Legionnaire, was recently the recipient of the 2000 Distinguished Service Award from the American Inn of Court of Northern Illinois, and serves on the Executive Board of the Ontario, California Boy Scouts of America.

In the spring of 2002, Dosemagen lectured to Chinese educational community consumers in Shanghai and Nanjing, on recent policy changes in United States immigration procedures and post secondary educational administration, as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. He enjoys writing, translating, traveling, and the great outdoors. Prodigies is Dr. Dosemagen’s first novel.
