Path to Prominence

In another world and time humans are no longer the dominant species. What remains are isolated colonies and fractured societies separated by vast wilderness. Highly evolved animals roam between land and water, day or night limiting travel. The remaining individuals, families and races with unique traits and skills settle wherever they can find safety.



On a coastal island a young man named Wheel has been working with hundreds of other abductees forced into the territory of deadly predators to gather resources. After five years of planning and aided by his closest allies he unleashes a rebellion that changes the island's power structure. With new control and authority his group must find a way to insure the survival of all who follow them but across miles of swamp other colonies can be just as hostile as the creatures hidden beneath the surface.



In a mountainous forest teams of young hunters must provide for their colony under the supervision of older more experienced leaders. One is a teenager named Harben who's gifted with a rare ability that helps him survive in the wild. If they manage to return home friends and family work and train together to ensure everyone has what they need. Even surrounded by a harsh environment most know what dangers to expect until one day everything changes forcing Harben and his fellow hunters to put their training to the ultimate test.



Two groups are set on missions with their own goals while struggling with personal emotions and conflicting decisions. Everything is connected on a path that may lead to victory or defeat in an unpredictible story of suffering, belief and survival.



About the Author



Since I was barely old enough to read I found joy in stories. I've watched hundreds of cartoons, television series, movies and read various books. Works of art and imagination fitting their own era. I can't say each was without flaws but that's how stories are. My other interest include nature, photography and constantly rotating gaming systems. Growing up in an area close to parks and a zoo made me fascinated with animal life and behavior. I never really got used to interactions with people. School was a struggle for survival and religion was an immense pressure to behave a certain way. Despite this, history and the Bible provided me with more stories and ideas. I admit I mostly learned how to act properly through watching and experiencing the obvious wrong ways. Eventually my emotions resulted in social and anger issues that put me on a spectrum of disorders which might have helped I was still in school when I was diagnosed. Through it all I kept finding stories and constantly took in information. I watched the parks and zoos change and explored nearby beaches. I attempted to create my own story but felt too much doubt and lacked resources. Enduring years of personal and family tragedies made me question my life's value forcing me to rethink my beliefs and understanding of people. After being exposed to the harsh reality of the world I lived in and enduring a crisis that affected the entire state I decided to start writing. When I was considered an adult I learned to cook, clean and provide for myself just enough to keep going. Right now the entire world is in a new crisis and I still have issues and doubts about my life but I managed to finish my personal work. I hope you can enjoy reading it and gain a new story to remember and share with others.
