I Am Jonathan (Twenty-Fourth Century Mercenaries, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

A merc's career can be boom or bust. The former is preferred. In a twenty-fourth century world where global government is a fact, lunar mining a reality, and alien contact a commonplace, brokered certified mercenaries filled the societal role of "extraordinary facilitators." Be the situation extra-legal, corporate espionage, enforcement, or off-world shenanigans, qualified mercs are available for hire. Have a problem? Just contact a merc broker, explain your situation, pick from a list of candidates by expertise and price, and pay from your account number. What could be easier? Mr. Jonathan, a gifted, experienced, and highly successful mercenary has a murky past. His latest contract, however, gives him a glimpse into that clouded background. But as contracts go, this last one went way too well, paid too much, and left the professional suspicious and wanting to know more. That is where Mr. Jonathan's adventure began, by asking too many questions, and finding out too many answers. This volume is the first of a new sci-fi fiction series. For those not familiar with my others, peek inside and find others that include time travel, paranormal archaeology, and age-old rivalries between occult societies.

Autor

W.J. Cherf has always wanted to write a book without footnotes, to tell a fascinating tale that is so real that his avid readers are left puzzled over what was real and what was Memorex. To craft such a tale takes wit, a love of science fiction, and above all a deep reverence for ancient history and archaeology. All of these qualities are stitched together beautifully in his books, because Cherf has been there, dug that. He's even seen the sun rise from atop the Great Pyramid.
Reviews have been generous:
"Bow Tie: Two Thumbs Up"
"Imagine a dinner party thrown by Tom Clancy, where he sits EE "Doc" Smith next to HG Wells"
"Amazing story, fascinating detail, a fabulous read"
"Cherf has done a wonderful job combining facts from Egyptian history and a fictional story to create a compelling trilogy of intrigue and espionage"
"What an enjoyable experience reading this series!"
With a BA in Anthropology, MA in Egyptian Archaeology, and Ph.D. in Ancient History, Cherf remains current as an elected officer of Denver's Egyptian Studies Society and is a member of a national service organization called SERTOMA, SERvice TO MANkind, that is devoted to hearing disabilities. Living with his beloved wife Sue, they keep Foxbat 1 out in the garage. They enjoy golf, road racing (that's where Foxbat comes in), and cheering for the Cubs and Chicago Bears.
