About the Book

What would you do if you only had minutes to live? Flotilla is a crossover apocalyptic science-fiction in which a young man is thrown into an ocean, literally and figuratively, to become both a survivor and a hero. Jim is a slacker teen alcoholic who leaves rehab to start life aboard a seasteading community. It's a floating city filled with strange and dangerous characters who work at farming edible fish and other enterprises. Jim sees this as an opportunity to re-connect with his estranged father, Rick, but he quickly finds out that second chances can come with strings attached. Jim learns what hard work and responsibility mean while learning the ropes of a dangerous, lonely job. He is often at the mercy of Rick and his hustling friends. Daily adventures and brushes with death give Jim the chance to grow up and screw up. His new home serves as both the classroom and crucible he needs to put his past behind him. At the same time, the Colony is also a dangerous ecosystem. Drug-dealing, human trafficking and gambling create fortunes that people will lie, cheat and kill to protect. Jim doesn't know how his father is connected but there are many signs that Rick isn't there just for the free Scuba lessons. The tension explodes when a terrorist attack hits nearby Los Angeles. Jim and his sister Nancy are safe for the moment aboard the Colony but Rick is drafted and taken ashore. Now the kids are left helpless to deal with angry drug pirates and crooked cops. Will Jim be able save himself and his sister? Is doing the right thing always the right choice? The answer will keep fans of Blade Runner, The Hunger Games and Firefly hooked until the last page. Flotilla has already captured the hearts of readers worldwide as its issues are real and relevant to many young people who are growing up in today's risk-filled environment. This is a whirlwind adventure over two summers that paints a vivid picture of adventure and hardship. It is also a deeply moving look at the impact of sustainable technology on some hilariously dysfunctional, flawed characters. Readers are finding Flotilla to be a stirring coming-of-age tale that brings together fathers and sons and conquers loss through courage and inner strength.
