I'm a married father of three who teaches computer networking and systems administration. I've been on a bit of a post-apocalyptic spree lately. When I'm not reading, I enjoy being active, playing bass and acoustic guitar.

    Hi Ben,

    If you like Koontz, Cussler, Crichton, Flynn...you might like Catch.

    A woman abducted by a mysterious organization. A troubled man trying to outrun his past. A power so terrible it possesses the ability to rip away the very fabric of the universe itself...

    I hope you'll check it out : ))

    Available on Amazon for 0.99c for Kindle (or just check out my profile for more info)
