Would you believe that behind this cover lurks “a fast-paced military technothriller of intrigue, love, battle and survival in a near-future world of titanic East-West conflict”?
It doesn’t seem like a bad cover, until you read the description:
Ashley Roper, Gulf War combat veteran, is now a writer and tabloid publisher in Charleston, SC. The nearby Bay Area State Hospital (BASH) for the criminally insane, is offering up a rich variety of potentially juicy stories including an escaped murderer, a patient released by a jury, the violent death of a staff member, and illicit drugs finding their way through the barbed wire perimeter of BASH.
Ash decides to investigate from the inside, but through a series of unforeseen circumstances, ends up trapped in the hospital as a patient. Ash’s headstrong wife and her lawyer buddy, a roadside cafe owner, a sexy weather girl, a meth tweaking biker, a crooked cop, a homicide detective, and a variety of incompetent bureacrats cross paths in this engaging and dramatic adventure.
