Roads

by Sean Adams

John Hardy was just a man trying to provide for his family until he is caught in a desperate, multi-dimensional struggle to get back to them. Finding himself overwhelmed in a world far more advanced than his own, John's journey will lead him through the many worlds, forcing a choice between himself and everything he's ever known. Roads is a work that questions everything from philosophy to economics, sexuality to personal liberty, mercy in violence, power and irony. Journey with John as he is forced into the very roots of our existence.

This will make you rethink everything you thought you understood about the way the world works. Follow one man through his life in multiple worlds and see how different each is because of governance and culture. A great, mind-blowing read that will keep you questioning until the very end.
