Tales From Where The Road Ends (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519624451)

Twelve tales from science fiction to the supernatural that all have one thing in common; they take the reader to places beyond our everyday life, beyond the world that we all know and understand. They take the reader to where the road ends and beyond, to where amazing things can happen; for better or for worse. Victoria; the first story is about a dying town on the edge of California's high desert that has a centuries old secret. And one of the last remaining residents who's determined to uncover that secret. The Serentatis Purge; in the not too distant future world governments struggle for ways to save mankind from itself. The Solution they come up with could be worse than the problems it's meant to solve. Because the more things change, the more they stay the same. The Boat Houses; people have been uncovering secrets along the Bay of Naples for hundreds of years, and thousands of tourists visit Pompeii every year. But in the shadows of the Herculaneum boat houses a young archeologist makes an impossible find, one that causes her to make a life changing decision. Reeling in the Years; a lot of men still pine for their first love, that high school sweetheart that is no longer here. But in some cases you should be careful what you wish for, you may just get it. For God and Country; in the dead of winter at an abandoned military base a homeless man tries to survive the elements, and his own mind. He's about to discover that he has a chance not only to survive another day, but to find salvation. You'll find these and other stories within the covers of this book. Stories that will make you wonder what's really out there beyond where the road ends, some that may stay will you long after you've read them.
