Illusions II: The Adventures of a Reluctant Student is the 2014 novel by writer and pilot Richard Bach. The first Illusions book was published in 1977 and was an international best-seller, telling the story of a pilot who encounters a messiah who has absconded from the "job" of being a messiah. (Illusions was the author's followup to 1970's Jonathan Livingston Seagull.) The sequel is in author Richard Bach's voice, as his "imaginary" literary characters help him in his recovery from his real-life plane crash.
Plot
After decades of flying without incident, author Richard Bach is near-fatally injured in a horrific plane crash. The injuries leave him hospital-bound for months, where he delves into the "imaginary" world of his literary creations, and uses them as inspiration to heal his body, mind and soul.
