Author Description

"Perdition's Reprieve" is a dark journey through political intrigue, conspiracy and paranoia, that ends in a shocking reveal. It is set late in the 22nd Century, and written from the perspective of Frank Miller. Frank is a quiet, solitary individual who finds himself at a historic turning point. A sailor who lives floating along past the edge of society, watching from the outside, only occasionally peeking in at humanity at ports on the shore... when the need arises. He owns a small commercial sail boat registered under the name "Perdition's Reprieve" which, at just 12 years old, he inherited from his father who drown mysteriously in the middle of Lake Michigan. Using his father's boat, Frank makes his living as a courier. His latest contract wrenches him from his isolation and puts this self-described student of history at the paranoid heart of a conspiracy. Frank's choices will impact future history for all of us.The story is all in Frank's words. Frank is human. His perceptions of the world and how he views himself, how he deals with the vagaries of the situation within which he finds himself, these things all color how he relates the facts to you, the reader. A quote from Frank: "There are frequently opportunities for one unique individual to just do something, sometimes out of impulse, often out of desperation, or perhaps just some quirk of their own psyche. They catalyze a transition to the next phase. Or they just blow apart what others have struggled to build. They'll set themselves on fire out of desperation and trigger a revolution. Or they'll kill a duke and start a World War, or kill a President and derail the course of history. They could be a well-intentioned, but self-deluded, revolutionary, or a sociopath who just happens to be in the right place at the wrong time, or just a regular person getting caught up in the nauseating stream of history."
