It’s 2044. Conflict and corruption at the highest level in the New American Government are made worse by a returning threat. A man long presumed dead.
Elijah Jones, a retired bounty hunter and now the Minister of Crime and Defence, is worried. Enemy spies litter the halls of power, and knives are being sharpened to guarantee he never leads the country. The net is closing in as rumours of the reappearance of an old quarry are rampant. Will this skeleton stay buried in the desert, or could this returning man align with those keen for him to fail?
Kyle Gibbs finds himself indebted to a ruthless gang leader who rules old Nashville. Waking up in a hospital bed two weeks before with no memory has left him at a disadvantage. Two strangers have given him shelter and told him that clues to his past were on a few old memory devices they couldn’t access. USB drives given to them by a dying Russian who claimed to know him better than anyone. A man who could have explained all the combat skills that have endeared him to the gang leader.
After a few brutal gang fights, his memory starts to return. Slivers of a life that don’t make any sense. Only the man who put him in the hospital bed can help decipher the memories. A man in the halls of power of the New American Government, who will not welcome him back.
Will he find the clues to his military past and, more importantly, what happened to his family?
Wayne Marinovich is an author and photographer who grew up on a farm in South Africa and spent most of his young life outdoors, learning and developing his passion for the natural world. When he was not fishing, bird watching, riding his bike or climbing trees, he was running around on top of the barn roof, fighting imaginary villains.
After a successful career as an IT consultant which saw him travel to all the places he loves writing about, he settled in the leafy county of West Sussex, England where he now resides with his wife and fellow photographer, Anneli.
His passion lies with conservation and environmental issues which affect both humans and the natural world alike, and he is most happy photographing and writing about the planet's beauty and fragility.
Currently, he is working on the Kyle Gibbs series, an environmental series set in a future world affected by Climate Change.
Work has also started on the Hudson Drake series, which will follow a young man as he gets drawn into the world of eco-revolutionaries.
