Extremities-4

About the Book

Extremities-4, a modern-day morality tale/medical fantasy, examines the origins and consequences of a dreaded Simian-like disease of the limbs and tracks the plight of four unlucky specimens weaving the landscape of an America livid and pale from a bad case of Darwinian déjà vu.

Calypso Ambiliano, Casey Dawes, Jose Greene, and Steve Einstein are caught in the crosshairs between civilization and reality.

Vilified and despised by a startled citizenry, the Authorities herd the afflicted to an esteemed Medical Research Center, where they are probed, cut, X-rayed, and scanned.

Cal, Casey, Jose and Steve escape to the serenity of northern Vermont-only to be betrayed by old enemies.

The four stumble into an old root cellar, a cave of beginnings, and witness the nation, the world succumb to its Animal Claw origins.

The nation again celebrates its sameness, but the descent into nature continues.
Extremities-4 is a macabre and bizarre tale of the familiar and the foreign.
