An experimental NASA flight goes horribly wrong, and the unlucky test pilot wakes up, unhurt, back home. Struggling to discover what happened, Eric Morgan returns to NASA and prepares to face a thousand questions as things continue to unravel around him. Is he still normal, still human, or some new species which may bring catastrophe to those around him?
Eric encountered something strange in the dead of space which left him forever changed. Testifying before a Congressional subcommittee, he inspires fear and hope. As the danger mounts, he tries to fall off the grid and begin a new life as he struggles with what happened, but the rest of the world won’t allow him to walk away. Is he a threat or a blessing? Is he helping humanity or threatening them? Should he explain himself or hide so he won’t impact others? And what about those closest to him? How will the changes to him impact them?
Vincent Berg (1957) was born in New Jersey but, being a military dependent, grew up on 'more or less the East Coast'. Working in Systems Engineering in the Financial Services in Chicago and New York City, he never considered himself a writer, but after retiring and moving closer to his family, he wanted to explore the kinds of books he enjoyed.
His writings aren't typical, with the writing style harking back to the early twentieth Century, and the stories being complex and meandering. Without action heroes, antiheroes or even clear conflicts, the stories are more character based, as the central characters try to figure out where they are and where they're going. The reader gets sucked along, as they try to piece together where they fit in the world.
His work includes 5 series (ranging from 2 to 6 books), for a total of 16 original books published to date.
