Presentation Style:5

Basic setting is derived from classic 1960’s style science-fiction, however treatment of the subject emphasizes iconoclastic storytelling. Central character, Benjamin Storm, is primarily a catalyst and observer, versus a heroic savior or even a typical anti-hero protagonist. Presentation is third person from perspective of different characters with voices limited depending on character’s knowledge and understanding. Wide cast of characters with detailed histories, development, and warped perspectives. Includes graphic fight scenes with blood and gore, vivid displays of paranormal powers, and detailed technical descriptions of medical experimentation atrocities. Some use of profanity, erotic sexuality, and two rape scenes without being extremely vulgar or pornographic. Mix of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Adventure. Approximately 285,000 words in length. 6

With Adventures Unlimited, I’ve borrowed numerous bits and pieces, then reassembled them into an eclectic vision of worlds gone horribly mad, while still retaining an underlying sense of hope and humanity.” If interested in the manuscript, please reply to [e-mail, phone number, address].8
