Produktbeschreibung
Thirty-something John Peter has Asperger's Syndrome. Having never ventured out of his hometown, he leads a sheltered life thanks to his mother Lily. When Lily dies, things start to unravel quickly and John finds himself homeless -- with a bag of cash, a dog-eared book and an old station wagon the only ties to his old life. With his treasured copy of "100 Places to See in the USA Before You Die" on the front seat of the car, John sets off on a road trip like no other. John criss-crosses the country, visiting destinations and landmarks in the literal order they're listed in his book, . He's challenged at every turn, and not just by his unorthodox itinerary. Mix a chance meeting with the drug-troubled Nessa, an encounter with a local gang, and even more local law enforcement, with John's own idiosyncrasies -- what could possibly go wrong? A concise adventure-drama, One Hundred Places is a rich, engaging tale of the human condition. It captures the sometimes comedic interaction of two troubled, complex but endearing characters on a journey of discovery.
Autorenporträt
Pedro Vasquez, a self-published novelist, is also a former US Navy Sailor and screenwriter. He began writing movie scripts after retiring from the military in 2012. His favorite past times are going to the movies, listening to all sorts of music, and reading--not necessarily in that order. When he's not traveling the world, he likes spending time with his family, whom he adores. And he does travel often; he enjoys flying so much, that he once got on twenty-seven flight-segments in just thirty days! Pedro spent the first several years of his naval career working as a jet engine mechanic, after which he "crossed ratings" and became a translator. A polyglot, besides English and Spanish (his native language) he also speaks basic Albanian and Indonesian. Next on his list of languages to learn is Mandarin.
