REVOLVER is a tale of two worlds, and how the both test a man to his limits...
Almost thirty and living in Seattle, Sam shuffles to his bed after a night
out at the bars. The next morning he wakes up and catches the bus into the city,
starting another day of his dead end life. But today on the radio he hears that
the stock market has crashed, news of a bird-flu epidemic erupting in Asia
pushes past a report of "radioactive-material-gone-missing-in-Russia." Did Sam
really wake up this morning? The world has gone crazy--turned on its head. Sam
thinks about riding the bus full loop, going home and pretending that the day
hadn't started.
This terrible day is capped with the destruction of
Seattle...
But when Sam wakes up in his small studio apartment the next
morning he's confused. On the bus ride to work he listens to the radio. The
world is fine...
Realities begin to bleed into one another as Sam jumps
between his dull-drum, everyday life and a dark apocalyptic society...but which
is the real one and which one will he have to live with forever? And the most
important question: does he have a choice?

Super Spy is 52 interwoven short stories about cyanide, pen-guns, heartbreak and betrayal. Each story follows the life of a spy during World War II. Spanning the globe from Spain to France and Germany, this book takes the reader on a tour of the everyday life of the spy. From the small lies and deceptions to the larger secrets that everyone hides, Super Spy reveals the nature of espionage and how an individual can be lost and also find redemption. A children's book is something more than it seems... a woman swims the English Channel to deliver a deadly secret... a German spy desperately seeks escape for herself and her daughter... and a spy continues to serve his country even beyond death.
