☠
After a night out at their favorite Manhattan club, Mallory Alexandria is kidnapped right in front of her soul mate, Zachary Zemeritus. Zachary calls the law and the nearest cop bot, Chief Inspector Anthony Borgnine, buzzes to the scene.
☠
❝Zach hung up and gazed at the police bot, its blue-metallic casing shining in the early dawn, as it descended with deliberation to hover at about Zach's eye height. 'Well now, citizen,' the bot squawked. 'It would appear we have work to do!'❞
☠
The year is 2035 and Earth is under attack by giant demons from outer space!
Demons as tall as houses with multiple heads, arms, and legs.
☠
❝The eyes on the first of its three heads had a serpent's split pupils, puke green. The eyes on the second head (which grew not beside the first head, but on top of it the way a cyst would) were as red as a poison frog's. The third head was stacked on top of its brothers, but this head was not worth talking about. It was a baby's head--and it was dead.❞

As they search for Mallory, Zach and Borgnine are attacked by one of these demons and Zachary winds up in the hospital. With most of his bones broken and his insides crushed, Zach slips into a coma, close to death.

Kelly Sullivan: Lives in Wasilla, Alaska with her brother. She doesn't complain about her life because so far no one else is dead because of her. She has given up hope that things will ever change. Then she met him.
Dean Williams: Has seen the tougher side of life. He moves to Alaska, thinking that having a space the size of Canada between him and his old life is exactly what he needs. Then he met her.
Have you ever wished for a miracle? Come on now. Of course you have. You know you have. For, which of us on this planet, atheists included, has not at one time or another, and with the heart of a beggar, pleaded, entreated, prayed, even bargained for a miracle of one sort or another to be granted, whether for ourselves or someone else? Now, let us never confuse miracles with magic. Magic is just that - hocus-pocus, fake, sham, not real, no matter how impressive and baffling. Again, let us not confuse miracles with favours - favours from the Almighty and favourite saints, all part and parcel of the popular novena culture of Catholics, and prayed for daily by the faithful for receipt of all manner of personal intentions. Nor are we talking the "Wow! How did that happen?-It's-gotta-be-a-miracle!" kind of miracle. No, no, no. At the risk of sounding redundant, we're talking real miracles here!
But, Dr. Adam Bell is surely not confused. Oh no. As Chief Investigator, he knows the difference only too well. After all, 'miracles' are his official business at the Bureau of Scientific Scepticism (B.O.S.S.), and his good nature and intellectual curiosity soon cause him to delve more deeply than required into the anatomy and character of miracles - all in keeping with the bureau's secret agenda. This happens not a moment too soon as it turns out, when without warning his own dire need for a miracle transforms his usual impartial, objective, routine work with the federal government bureau into an inordinately personal, life-and-death chase. Adam is also, of necessity, himself inherently transformed from the quiet, plodding, somewhat hesitating investigator, unused to police work, into a man on a mission, a father-to-be with a cause, where time is of the essence, and there's no room for error... Join him in the chase of his life!
About the Author
Eliot H. Bailey was born on Wednesday August 10th 1983 at 3 a.m. on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Lucia - an island that has produced two Nobel laureates. His parents, both educators, have devoted their lives to teaching the arts. Eliot was named after T.S. Eliot - "one 'l', one 't'" - as he was wont, from the tender age of eighteen months, to inform all and sundry who might ask his name. Eliot was a curious child who started talking when he was about ten months. As a young boy, he asked questions galore and spouted creative ideas. Being British (as well as St Lucian), he would spend his summers back in his father's homeland of England visiting family and, in his teens, chose to live there on his own for a year. It was during this time that he was moved to chronicling his days and jotting down his thoughts on life and the parade of characters that crossed his path. Much of this writing was done on the spur of the moment as he sat in train stations or on park benches.

"When a junction leads you to two different types of hell, you chose the lesser evil one.
That is what I did. That is what I had to do."
A raw midtempo narrative, about a night at a no man's land.
"Of the World" is the second book of the groundbreaking coming of age trilogy "If Where You're Going Isn't Home," the ten-year story of a boy growing up Mormon in America in pursuit of a dream to play jazz trumpet.
At sixteen, licensed to drive, armed with his trumpet and a talented band, Shake Tauffler begins to slip the harness of his home and neighborhood to test himself in the raw world of the streets and nightclubs of Salt Lake and its outlying towns. His threatened parents intensify their attacks on his emerging sexual and moral consciousness. Jazz and its negro heroes still define him, but his church takes off its gloves to teach him that in God’s eyes Negroes are anything but heroes. His Huck Finn days are over; this is the rebel Shake, conflicted, haunted by the faceless mystery of never being good enough and a hunger he can’t name, roaming the night alone or with his hoodlum pals, looking for refuge in hot cars, chance girls, violence, the cry of his trumpet, the faces of the American night.
In the epic second book of the trilogy "If Where You’re Going Isn’t Home," the Shake we knew in "Journey" takes on tougher obstacles, extends his reach, but continues to meet the senseless forces of his life with courage, wit, and wonder. He leaves Utah to become a tanker in the Army where he embraces the break from his past and the chance to define himself from scratch. But his past comes out of hiding when he falls in love with a breathtaking girl and comes face to face with the ruthless racial dogma of his faith. He returns home, a man and a hero, to a family and church who are quick to remind him who and where he is. A foreign mission when he turns nineteen lies just ahead. The road is ending. One last defiant self-affirming act takes him across the American West to close it down his way.
From Michael Strong, co-founder and COO of Zola Books:
“Max Zimmer has written the Great American Mormon Novel. For decades, readers have depended upon a few extraordinary writers to understand fully what it means to be an American – Philip Roth, Julia Alvarez, Ralph Ellison, Erica Jong, John Updike. Zimmer has added a critical new dimension to our shared national understanding of who we are and how we got here in this sweeping narrative. Twelve-year-old Shake Tauffler’s decade-long journey through the Mormon Church and beyond will resonate with all Americans who ponder their soul and place in our changing national portrait.”
"I’ll do it. Just promise me things will look and be the way they were before. That I won’t bring any shame to my family because of what has happened to me."
