When Kenji Hiroshige discovers a formula that will
keep people youthful and healthy for several thousand
years, he tells the world he will not divulge his secret
until every gun, tank, battleship, and bomb has been
destroyed. When the world is free of weapons, everyone
can live forever. And then he goes into hiding. Before he disappears, his son Matt is exposed to
the formula. Kenji takes Matt on the run with him, but
as they struggle to elude both government agencies and
corporations who will do anything to profit from Kenji’s
discovery, Matt learns that world peace might not be his
father’s only goal. But what can a young man who’s
barely stepped foot off his isolated ranch do in the
face of something so sinister? This is the
story of human greed and the lust for violence. It’s the
story of a world on the brink of destruction, but it’s
also a tale of one young man who finds in himself the
will, courage, and compassion to stand against the
darkness—both outside and within himself. Read an excerpt and reviews here. Buy from DSP Publications here. Buy from Amazon Kindle or here. |

like polishing air. What they eventually
discover, nevertheless, is one of the
Buddha’s most significant lessons:
enlightenment comes to those whose singular
focus is on helping others less fortunate. Read an excerpt and reviews here. Buy from Bold Strokes Books ebook, Kindle, or paperback. Buy from Amazon Kindle or Paperback |
