Chasing Oblivion

by Evan Grinde

Disillusioned with humanity, Colton Anders has fled from society to seek lonely solace in conquering the most dangerous peaks of the unforgiving natural world, among them the legendary El Capitan of Yosemite Valley and the jagged spires of Chilean Patagonia. Following his self-enacted exile, he spends years pushing the limits of human ability, becoming increasingly apathetic and reckless in the process.

Everything changes, though, when he unexpectedly meets a woman who turns out to be a shocking link to the past he's traveled so far and climbed so high to forget. When Colton’s relationship
with this woman seemingly brings generation-long
injustices and secrets to light, tragedy once again
threatens to collapse his fragile reality.

In a thrilling, twisting, touching tale of epic
proportions, a drifter more willing to face death than
his own history is challenged to finally confront
his greatest love, faith, and hope.

The contemporary fiction novel Chasing Oblivion will
take you to the edge of your seat and keep you
there until you run out of pages to turn.

This was a Goodreads win. I'm totally amazed that the author began this when he was just a high school student. It was really well written and held my attention throughout. I'm sure we will be hearing more from him as time passes. Am so pleased to have had the opportunity to read this book and would recommend that others do the same. The author is a twenty-year-old who is one of Virginia's youngest entrepreneurs and he's extremely talented. Great job Evan. Please continue to write along with your other endeavors.
