Produktbeschreibung
Gunnery Sargent Perceval Michelangelo Stone, after 39 years in the Marine Corps is suddenly medically retired. After all of the collective damage of many wars and actions, an IED leaves him with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) which is exacerbated by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). With vision in one eye that comes and goes, along with blocked recall of the occasional word, or a missed step in following a conversation, Stone is a walking mental time-bomb like so many others, if he can't find his center. Walking away confused. from the only home and family he has known since he was eighteen, he has a phone in his pocket that he doesn't know how to use, a pesky yeoman stalking his every move, astride a $800 motorcycle, headed west from Bethesda, MD searching for what it means to be a civilian, and what makes home, home. In an effort to find his peace, he ends up beside a tranquil lake, watching a perfect sunset. And then the phone rings . . . A feel-good journey of coming home, finding one's compass and the true power of friendships-old and new.

Autorenporträt
Amazon Best Seller, Baer Charlton, is a degreed Social-Anthropologist. His many interests have led him around the world in search of the different and unique.

As an internationally recognized photojournalist, he has tracked mountain gorillas, sailed across the Atlantic, driven numerous vehicles for combined million-plus miles, raced motorcycles and sports cars, and hiked mountain passes in sunshine and snow.

Baer writes from the philosophy that everyone has a story. But, inside of that story is another story that is better. It is those stories that drive his stories.

There is no more complex and wonderful story then ones that come from the human experience. Whether it is dragons and bears that are people; a Marine finding his way home as a civilian, two under-cover cops doing bad to do good in Los Angeles, or a tow truck driving detective and his familyMr. Charlton's stories are all driven by the characters you come to think of as friends.
