Not What I Thought It Would Be

Nice, France — Retired CIA agent, Cain, is living a quiet life, trying to stay out of trouble.

But he can’t turn off his old instincts like a lightswitch.

When an unsuspecting American woman becomes the target of criminals, he can’t sit back and do nothing.

What starts as one good deed puts Cain in the sights of highly-trained mercenaries, brings him to the attention of INTERPOL, and puts him on a collision course with evil personified.

With no one he can trust, in a land of double-crosses, Cain must rely on his wits to survive.

Summer, 1946. When Boston reporter Jerry Canavan is sent down to cover the Newport Bermuda yacht race, the trip feels more like a reunion than an assignment. He stays at the luxurious home of Cam McShane, a classmate from Boston College, and runs into his childhood friend Paul Crump, who is an MP at the U.S. Army base.

For the three young veterans, Bermuda is like a tropical paradise. Cam hangs around the bars at night, socializing with other ex-pats and planning to start a business. Paul patrols downtown Hamilton and dreams of falling in love. With the war finally over, everyone wants to start living again, and the sailboat race is a symbol of the island’s future and the return of tourism.

Jerry tries to stay focused on his work until he meets Gabrielle, a beautiful and mysterious French girl who lives next door. But romance isn’t his only distraction because before the yachts even cross the finish line, the lives of his friends have started to unravel. Cam’s drunken philandering has a much darker side, and Paul’s relationship with a local black girl causes a scandal.

As Jerry’s time grows short, he learns a shocking truth about Gabrielle’s family. Only then does he realize that Bermuda is not all sunshine and Rum Swizzles. People may have flocked there to forget the past, but the war and its consequences are something no one can escape.

“This can’t be possible. How am I going to survive?”

In the quiet of a summer’s night, the world as we know it disappears.

There are no functioning cars, no cell service, no electricity. Nothing but an eerie silence. Alone in the center of the Upper Peninsula, in a remote hunting cabin, Bob Reiniger awakens to a new world that he is unprepared for.

Without the former conveniences of life, he is a fish out of water. He has no survival skills, no food, no running water, no communication or transportation. He’s many miles from the nearest living soul.

With no way to communicate with the outside world, he is left to wonder how widespread this disaster might be. Thus, he has enormous panic but little hope.

Bob must get back to his family in Chicago, some 400 miles south of his current location. But first, he must survive in this new world. A world that he will learn deals harsh lessons and forgives no mistakes, especially for someone like him.
