Strange City
Who was I? How did I come here? Why did I feel so much pain?
Waking up barefoot in the woods with no memory of who he is or how he got there, a young man known only by the name Stranger, sets off on a journey through the bizarre reality of World City. A place seemingly outside of time and space, where the people speak in riddles and the game is played by an entirely different set of rules.
With each new character he meets, Stranger’s path takes him through the streets, the nightclubs, the churches, the prisons, the courts, and finally to the highest power in the world, where he must make a choice that will forever alter the fate of the city.
Confronting the world’s biggest problems while searching for the answers to his life’s deepest questions, this stranger in a strange land must find something that is true in this lost city, and have faith, if he ever wants to find his way back home
Book 1 of the The World City Saga series.
Strange City is Bunyan-esque and a very good read. The plot and characters are both alluring & off-putting, as in any good story. Conflict—internal and external—abounds. This debut novel held my attention as its protagonist transitions from one harrowing struggle to the next. As dismal as the setting is, the protagonist never ceases to ask questions of himself and those he meets in this strange city, and amazingly, despite everything, a sense of hope is realized.
Strange City is now available on Audible, iTunes, & Spotify. The 5-hour audio, narrated by a professional actor, has a profound impact. The narrator not only perfectly intones the characters’ voices, but also captures all the nuances of the plot. If you think the quiet reading of the book is gripping, hearing the drama will affect you with stunning vividness.
