Seven Cycles
$39.74
Book
Seven Cycles is a wry, adventurous collision between common sense and mid-life dysfunction across many fronts: personal, corporate, political, religious and social. The story launches from a cynical view of today's corporate condition, takes off with a shot, then keeps on going.
The main character, Bob, is a fifty-something, divorced, stuck-in-a-rut, mechanical engineer who inadvertently becomes, by virtue of his own untapped competencies, point man against a web of deceit and greed that ensnares his failing company, NASA, the military, conspiracy theorists, the president, government agencies and any number of disenfranchised social outcasts, all trying to navigate through derailed lives – all driven by the discovery of a space virus with miraculous properties, just not exactly the properties its discoverers expect!
The cast of cronies and adversaries includes a polka-loving reluctant saint who can barely dress himself, a love interest with a fiery temper, horses, and a damaged past, a secretive best friend, a surfing Texan, hackers, secret agents, scientists, cloned thugs, bent politicos, amateur radio nuts, nerds, stutterers, greedheads, paparazzi, old men with guns, guys with the same name, mutant yuppies and, of course, the virus itself.
At every step, what should be mankind's best chance to transform itself is wrecked by shortsightedness. Broken agendas bring out the worst in people, DNA is destroyed, Fires are set, Lives unravel, Golf games are cancelled. The president gets involved.
In the process of fighting stupidity, greed, danger and just plain rotten ideas, Bob is shaken loose from his old life to discover love, maturity, respect, new friends and a new outlook.
