Agent Sherard Parker never expected to get caught.

His first reconnaissance mission with the DEA was supposed to be simple: infiltrate a small South Pacific island and gather intelligence about its involvement in the international drug trade.

But when Parker stumbles upon a hidden airliner reportedly shot down weeks earlier—an act of terrorism that sparked a war—he realizes the island is more than just home to a major drug operation, it's also part of a conspiracy so evil it could lead to World War III.

After being captured, Parker is forced to abandon his original mission for a far more important one: escape from the island and return to his family.

Can Parker lead an eclectic band of prisoners in a daring life-or-death escape from their tropical prison, or will those in charge of protecting the island prevail, keeping its dark secrets forever?

J.L. Pattison

J.L. Pattison is the author of contemporary speculative fiction whose stories are garnering favorable comparisons to the works of M. Night Shyamalan and Rod Serling.

His first book, Saving Kennedy, is a paperback collection of his two previously released short stories that weave together the JFK assassination and time travel gone wrong—proving that meddling in the affairs of the past always has its consequences. Saving Kennedy won Libertopia’s “Best Libertarian Fiction” award for 2017.

J.L. Pattison’s sophomore release, The Island, dives headfirst into the world of governmental conspiracies and answers the question of how a commercial airliner can vanish in mid-flight—revealing the terrifying reality that some tragedies are actually by design. The Island won Libertopia’s “Best Libertarian Fiction” award for 2018.

J.L. Pattison’s latest book, The Man Who Thought He Could Fly (available now), is a collection of twelve tales of suspense that continues Pattison's Twilight Zone-style of storytelling that his fans have come to expect.

When not writing, J.L. Pattison enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, and drinking copious amounts of lattes and sweet tea (the latter of which is an addiction he acquired while growing up in the South). He currently lives in the Western United States with his wonderful wife and six amazing children.
