The Just Beyond
Science Fiction & Fantasy
The death of his soul mate in a tragedy for which he feels to blame leaves Michael Chandler broken and alone. The last thing he needs is to be confronted by a ghastly apparition with a terrifying decree. But that's only the first in a string of bizarre occurrences that will throw his world into chaos and his life into escalating danger. He will be framed for murder, run afoul of corrupt police and a ruthless crime lord, and flee by night across the country with a mysterious, enigmatic hitchhiker. In the thick of this maelstrom he’ll cross paths with an old flame, a beguiling vixen with her own life-and-death predicament that will force him into an impossible choice. But Michael has something going for him – a secret that not even he knows. And when he stumbles onto an astounding metaphysical discovery, his dire straits and the mad universe around him begin to look very different. Nice guys finish last? Wrong. Nice guys rock, with a hidden power their enemies can scarcely imagine. And Michael Chandler is about to become their poster child.

Under the Cosmic Hood
Michael, the story’s hero, has been suspicious of his new friend Charlie all along. In this passage, all the weirdness and coincidence swirling around Charlie hits critical mass, and Michael finally forces the issue. He is about to get answers – specific answers – with cosmic implications. Those answers will be backed up by an astonishing revelation about the universe that makes perfect logical sense. And that’s what this book is about. There is a love story, of course, and a tale of loyal friendship, and a pulse-pounding adventure too. But underlying the entertainment in The Just Beyond is a vision of mind-blowing fundamental truths. Science, religion, philosophy, metaphysics: these are all tools for exploring the nature of reality and what it means to our lives. That is the fuel that makes The Beyond Trilogy go – and this excerpt is heading for a high-octane fill.
