Charlie's Trips

A SCI-FI VERSION OF 'THE WIZARD OF OZ' A tornado sweeps through an area of the deep Midwest and takes away a teenage soldier, Charlie Bradshaw, who's hurled into space-time and ends up 21 years later, on the West Coast, off San Francisco. He's found on a beach, alive but unconscious. As he emerges from a 3-day coma, he has a vision and prediction: another disaster, a big earthquake. But he doesn't know he's on TV camera. Of course he's not aware of the different place and times. There are many other things he's still unaware of, especially about himself... A futuristic and malicious version of L. Frank Baum's classic, a dark tale for young adults featuring a new kind of character, a lost teenager with unusual powers and disabilities. Enjoy...! "A truly astonishing book, from a writer whose prose and style could set as the new Will Self. Come on, Random House, you need a hit, publish this." POPBITCH, August 2012
