This is the fourth book by R. Scott Morris and his third novel. Others include: Circadian Rhythm, Whaling City and The Line, Doyles Revenge. Scott enjoyed a 30-year career as a research chemist and during that time he authored hundreds of technical proposals and many journal papers and patent disclosures. For that reason, it has been exceedingly difficult for him to break from the standard Germanic writing style that is most prevalent in scientific writing. Therefore, apologizes if you find his writing to be too pedantic. He splits his time between Oregon and Texas with Carole, his very patient wife of 42 year, whom he loves deeply and hopes that these written sentiments will be rewarded with yet another of her delicious dinners.
