Opis

Winner in the 2010 Green Book Festival, 1st place for Interactive/electronic books. Instructions for receiving a free copy of the interactive version are included with purchase of this print edition. This is a complex novel that weaves elements of fact & fiction, but at it's core the author sums it this: "Love's story of a nameless man, his appointed rhapsodist & their charge to extend agape love to the entire biogeochemical realm that it may be saved." The story extends from the author's true clinical death experience. He said "Birth & death we all have in common & in them is no choice. However, in my death I saw the imminent death of all life on earth as a choice that was being made by humankind." Ways to reverse this cycle were also revealed. He published this data on his websites but thought he wasn't reaching enough fast enough. So, he turned to his past as a writer to create a book intended to return drama to its past purpose as a positive motivator of human behavior. If humans weren't responding to science showing their continued consumption habits could equal their extinction, perhaps they'd respond to a dramatization of their mass murder. Here's the story: The inconvenient truth is that there's an invisible enemy pushing earth into the 11th hour. But fear not, for fear is the weapon this enemy uses to hack into your consciousness, log onto your thoughts & boot-up the suicide program that has earth cycling toward death. But a new kind of hero is being downloaded to delete the enemy & abort the murder of humankind. Can one stranger save the world? 19th Annual Writer's Digest Book Awards Judge's commentary on Apocalypse Near: "The writing resonates with this author's passion for speculative fiction and his compassion for the human experience with all of its ups and downs, especially in the area of collective consciousness. The author relates a thought-provoking tale while always keeping at the forefront the travails of putting one's heart on the line and making oneself vulnerable through acts of heroism. An insightful story showing strength of character and personal growth. The narrator and other characters are, individually and together, certainly strong enough to carry the narrative, which prompts the reader's interest in always wanting to know what will happen next."
