Hello I'm new here. Getting ready to read Giant and just re-read EG and the first three Shadow books again.
My sons really like the OSC series. Years ago I read a book about a fellow who falls from a skyscraper while working and isn't harmed. He goes on to become what was believed to be the second messiah from what I recall. I'm trying to remember the title and hopefully get the author's name. I believe the book had Second Son in the title but all library and bookstore searches don't bring anything up that sounds right. Does anyone here know of what book I type of?

I really wasn't science fiction just fiction. It took place in our day on Earth. The politicians and the Vatican were all involved in the story.

well, The crow was chucked out of his apartment window and killed...but came back and fought bad guys. Though, I don't think that is what you are looking for.

The ridgebeam fell on him. He didn't fall from it. Peggy split it, though, right? It was the millstone that she split and he mended because the family needed it so badly. Or am I remembering this all wrong?

No, you're remembering right. Peggy split both the ridgebeam and the millstone when they fell on him, but Alvin mended the millstone and let it fall on him anyway, because the family had worked so hard to get it and needed it so badly.

I think it is the Charles Sailor book that you are looking for. I saw a review of the book that said, "This does sound like the basis for Unbreakable but without the connection to the church and the state."

That's the book! Thanks. If you look at the closeup of the book cover you'll see him falling from the skyscraper in the lower right hand picture. This is a great book.
