My new novel, Seven Stones, is now available for pre-order
for Kindle.
So what’s it all about and why should you care? Because I’ve made a very
conscious decision to bring you action from the get go while providing a
portrait of life a century ago. The story begins a year before the start of
World War I, touching upon many of the events and people of the day. It will
take you to a Louisiana plantation where the owner still believes he has the
right to own his workers, not only in life but also in death. The main
character, Doug Slattery, encounters séances and acquaintances of Harry
Houdini. Sister ships Mauretania and Lusitania cross The Atlantic with speed
and in style, while The Trans Siberian Railway brings prisoners East to
populate a bleak and ungiving land, where Joseph Stalin sits in exile. The
South Pole has just been reached, and in the process, evidence is found in The
Antarctic of a time when all the continents were united in a single
Urcontinent. Physician Max Planck and novelist Jack London are using science to
reinterpret the world in which they live. And through it all, the status quo is
being threatened by those who would hurl bombs in order to advance their
agenda. The old world is dying. What will survive, and what will come from the
ashes? And what happens when mankind plays with powers beyond its reckoning?
