Snail Gun

A Novel

Beschreibung

A look into an idea of a reality which would exist beyond the sum of the mechanics beneath the mountains which he wishes would crumble. The technogolies are the antagonists and halves of religions relaying and documenting and endangering lives throughout the past one hundred years. A tiny amphibian becomes a protagonist and remains nameless in a small room throughout the story. Below the shell of each location is an escape into a dream from all other escapes. The city is accepted as the vitriolic encapsulation of reality as well as a hiding place from a world which is a product of a threat and is either quaking or flooded or in flames. The environment in which he exists is a journal of mistakes where all fantasies lead to further aberrations.

Autor

Michael Woods is a general surgeon and healthcare executive living in Lawrence, KS. He grew up in the Midwest and developed a love for the outdoors and life's rich complexity and interconnectedness while working on a western Kansas ranch. He attended the University of Kansas, majored in Cellular Biology, did research in a virus lab, and minored in anthropology. He then completed medical school and general surgery training, becoming a board-certified general surgeon. Tiring of the practice and politics of medicine, he became a researcher at a major pharmaceutical company, where he became the global medical leader of a worldwide drug development program. In this position, he traveled the globe, giving him rich insights and a deep appreciation of other cultures. His background in anthropology, combined with his broad knowledge and experience in clinical and research medicine and extensive travel, is a potent combination for creating rich stories based on scientifically plausible- even factual- scenarios, as in Olduvai Countdown, his first fiction novel. Michael is a well-recognized author in the medical trade press, having written and published four non-fiction books in the healthcare genre. His most successful book is Healing Words, a best seller for the publisher, generating combined sales of 19,000 in a niche market with very little promotion (First and Second Editions). He is the editor of a fifth publication that has sold 15,000 copies. His non-fiction works have been favorably reviewed in the industry press.
