Produktbeschreibung
Dad's Weekend by William Hamilton Luck is tough for this single dad. After college, he leaves his hometown and finds his way to Las Vegas and then to Utah in search for a job and a better life. He is an artist, someone who knows his craft. But all his aspirations need to take a backseat in favor of the laborious jobs he gets to make ends meet for him and his little girl. Luck in love seems to shun him, too; he thinks marriage is not for him. As he contemplates life, his most likable boss invites him and the other employees to a weekend getaway in Lava Springs, Idaho. For three days in July, he and his daughter spend an almost surreal adventure in the countryside where nature is within their grasp. For once in their lives, they experience a different kind of fun the city can't offer. For the first time in so many years, misery isn't this dad's company. The beautiful weekend and a vivid dream inspire the artist in him to write a fantasy story about a medieval hero-for-hire who wants to retire after the biggest assignment of his life-apprehending a notorious thief and presenting him to the king for a price. About the Author William Hamilton is a graduate of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. He enjoys writing and producing artworks. This proud father currently lives and works in Utah.
Autorenporträt
William Hamilton (1936-2000) was a naturalist and geneticist who died of a disease contracted in Africa when he was investigating the origins of the AIDS virus. At his funeral service in the chapel of New College, Oxford, Richard Dawkins announced that William Hamilton was now accepted as "the greatest evolutionary biologist since Charles Darwin". His official biography, Nature's Oracle, was released by Oxford University Press in April 2013 and reviewed by Alasdair Gray that year in the Scottish Review of Books. Between 1995 and 2005, three volumes of his collected scientific papers, The Narrow Roads of Gene Land, were published by Macmillan Press at Oxford, New York, and Heidelberg. The Dark of the Stars is his only novel.
