I am a reluctant harbinger, chosen as I am because of an accident and a debt to which I am forever bound. My name is Strand, The Strand Prophecy is a science fiction epic set in the present day. The action begins on the steps of the White House, with stops in the jungles of Brazil and the deepest regions of Africa. Strand, a troubled and reluctant superhero discovers the beginning of a rapid evolutionary cycle. One in which new life and new predators will quickly emerge to threaten all of human existence. He races against time and the U.S. military to protect the innocent, safeguard his niece and along the way, perhaps find redemption for his brothers death. Strand’s action-packed adventure delivers non-stop intensity, mystery and surprise from its first page to it’s last.
