Hurricane Blues

Jack Mathews finished his second year of medical school and fled to Thailand recovering from the untimely death of his sister Scarlet. He aimed to make peace with her passing and marry the American dream, but nothing went as planned. The desperate journey through southeastern Asia ravaged Jack’s blind patriotism with a political revelation he was ill-prepared to endure. He escapes to Australia only to face a surreal courtship with Lady Liberty Ward. Though Jack resolves to confront his fears and save her soul, where his courage takes him is a story still plaguing Generation X, from the false flag blues of a failed occupy movement to an uncertain battle with invisible enemies defining the terrorist age.
