Blind Ambition: A Novel
By J.Y. Jones
BookLocker, 2011
Fiction, Christian Fiction
Set in a fictional coastal Georgia town, an ophthalmologist in practice for some thirty years faces financial ruin because a young, aggressive eye surgeon has come to town and built a huge, ostentatious clinic. Using massive advertising, a well-trained staff, and a network of cooperative optometrists, the latter surgeon has sucked up all the eye business in the area, and does cataract surgery on everyone his operatives can convince to have the procedure, whether needed or not. The older surgeon finds he can’t compete with such forceful tactics and faces the biggest crisis of his life.
Every facet of the younger surgeon’s practice is designed to make money, regardless of whether a service is needed or not. He exhibits strong superstition and pattern behavior as a manifestation of demonic control over his life. He also is a womanizer and an avid sailor, and uses his personal sailboat as the means to take a succession of women, most of them associated with his practice, on weekend outings. An unhappy patient with a poor surgical outcome creates an environment that spawns a lawsuit by the younger surgeon against the older one. This concurrently gives the younger surgeon an idea to eliminate his unwanted wife, whom he has been unwilling to divorce because it would split his considerable assets and hamper his lofty financial goals. Dealings with a drug lord lead to a massive influx of money for the unethical doctor, as he uses his sailboat to transfer drugs from a ship offshore to the mainland, where he has good connections to law enforcement that keep him safely from scrutiny.
Woven into the plot behind the scenes is an ongoing battle between good and evil, personified by the activities of numerous angels and demons. A long-time ophthalmologist faces financial ruin because a new eye surgeon has built an ostentatious clinic and uses unethical tactics, doing surgery on everyone his operatives can convince to have it. Behind the scenes is an ongoing battle between good and evil, personified by the activities of angels and demons.
Book Excerpt (Fragment)
"Dr. Joseph Newell sat in his bedroom, marooned in his three dimensional world, his head in his hands, a grimace on his rotund face. While I was too occupied to belabor the thought, I was deeply aware of his plight and sympathized with him. His wife, Rita, was still asleep nearby, and Newell could faintly discern the sound of her quiet breathing. Outside, he could hear the wind blowing and the rain falling, the dismal day matching his mood. The aging ophthalmologist surveyed the scene around him and considered his recent setbacks. His once-prosperous eye surgery practice was suffering and seemed +destined for failure, and the
competition was undeniably strengthening. His modest home was situated in King’s Bay, Georgia, a bustling seaside community that had until recently been a quiet, comfortable place to live and practice his specialty. Close by Newell’s quarters I was involved in an invisible war, and all participants bore battle scars, the result of hours spent fighting in the restrictive confines of the time dimension. Opposing forces could not have been more different in appearance, though in manner of combat they bore striking resemblance. Our enemies were dark, sinister beings covered with a variety of gruesome skin: some coarse and filamentary, somewhat like a pig;
some with unsightly wart-like knots all over; others slimy, scaly, or sticky. Most had faces that were very nearly monkey-like or bat-like, with gaping mouths and frightening teeth. Their ill-fitting garments were black and loose and their forms reeked a putrid, offensive odor. They flitted about like miniature gods, moving with ease, undetectable by natural eyes most of the time, though they occasionally flashed briefly into the visible spectrum... "

Worship Not The Creature: Animal Rights And The Bible
"Very rarely does a book come out that tackles such an important topic confronting our culture, an issue that is subtle and confounding to many. Dr. Jones does an insightful job of communicating the deception of the animal activist movement that is threatening the very essence of the Judeo-Christian worldview. This is the first book I have read that endeavors to present a true Biblical response to the animal rights agenda. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand this insidious movement and the Biblical viewpoint a Christian should have toward it."
― Dr. William Franklin Graham IV, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Charlotte, North Carolina
Worship Not The Creature: Animal Rights And The Bible
‘This book is so gripping that I found it difficult to put down. I have known Dr. Jones for many years as a physician, hunter, author, and close friend. He and his wife Linda were frequent guests in our home in Washington, D.C., when I was in the U.S. House of Representatives, attending the National Prayer Breakfast and State of the Union Address, among other activities. His beliefs are deep-seated and convincing. Anyone should find this read to be thought-provoking and intensely interesting.’
― The Honorable J. Roy Rowland (D-Ga.), Six-term Congressman, Dublin, Georgia
Ask The Grizzly/Brown Bear Guides
"This is already third book from Mr. Jones what I put to my library - I like this concept when on same questions you have answers from more professionals outfitters. I never saw so complex advise for grizzly bear hunting preparation. Thank you Mr. Jones for another great book. All hunters have to have it in library if they hunting for grizzly or not."

Blind Ambition by J.Y. Jones
"If you like classic good versus evil themes like those revealed in the movie" Devils Advocate" with Al Pacino or Dan Browns' book " Angels and Demons" and the follow up movie with Tom Hanks, then you will really like Dr J.Y. Jones's excellent book, "Blind Ambition". Set in a coastal south Georgia town, the book theme sets two established ophthalmologists on a collision course of self realization and soul searching as angels and demons try to intervene and influence the turn of events.One doctor is a good man trying to help his clients and ends up being sued by a greedy doctor who is addicted to lots of money, ambition, fast women and drugs and does not care how he achieves his goals.Thickening the plot is a host of angels working for the good doctor and bevy of demons pushing the evil doctor to prevail at all costs. Does it help to pray? You bet it does as you listen in on the inter musings of the angels and demons. Then you realize that we all face similar conflicts as we make daily decisions that effect the events in our everyday lives, just like the characters in this great book. The book is a wonderful, entertaining read and would make a great movie! I highly recommend it! John Trussell"

One Man, One Rifle, One Land
"I have really enjoyed this book. The hunting stories are real with no fluff or "made up" success and fabricated for entertainment value. Mr. Jones is not arrogant and brings reality to all of his hunts and this is a great reference for study of each of the animals he pursues. If you enjoy reading great hunting adventures or simply learning more about one of the species of big game on this continent, you will enjoy! This is a huge book and very well worth the money."
