"The only rules that bind us are those we place on ourselves." Such is the great revelation which The Shaman's Gio "John Chance" Fortuna discovers during one of the most tumultuous periods of his life. In college and having spent most of his life avoiding his grandfather's trainings, he finds himself called to remember and practice his grandfather's ancient ways to save children from human monsters. But every step into The Old Ways drives a wedge between Gio and Jess, the woman he loves and wants to spend his life with. Originally relishing the idea of her own personal Superman, she grows increasingly fearful each time Gio manifests an ability beyond her comprehension. And when both he and Jess realize he can use his grandfather's teachings to force Jess' to spend her life with him without her knowing he's done so? Even though doing so violates everything he's ever been taught? Gio realizes being able to do anything doesn't mean he can do everything, and that the strongest bonds on us are those we place on ourselves. Reader Comments: "Carrabis knocks another one right out of the park!" "Once again Carrabis takes us on a wild ride wondering how he'll bring it all together. Never fear, he does and in grand style." "Gio's soliloquy about the use of power is something every industrialist, every government official, every religious leader needs to read." "Carrabis pens a gritty paranormal psychological thriller that keeps you in your seat until you've turned the last page." "Go ahead, pick a genre. Carrabis covers them all: paranormal, fantasy, thriller, true crime, magic realism, ... If you know the world is more than you can see, you'll love this one." "Characters intertwine and grow in unexpected ways, especially ways that show a balance in all things; Great Gifts often bring Great Loss. It hurts you as a reader to see it happen on the page. That's good storytelling." "Much like in his The Inheritors, Carrabis poses great philosophical questions in the guise of understandable, believable characters. Amazing!" "Carrabis' Search proves that power need not corrupt, and absolute power need not corrupt absolutely." Content Advisory: Search contains graphic scenes of sex and violence.

Autorenporträt
Joseph Carrabis is a master storyteller with a sharp sense of humor and linguistic expertise. Hailing from New Hampshire, USA, his passion for writing began at the tender age of seven while washing dishes with his older sister, Sandra. She'd read 'Mission to the Heart Stars' for a book report and shared her fascination and excitement over the story. Joseph, a plate in one hand and a dish towel in the other decided, "I want to give that to people." With a career deeply embedded in evolving technologies, Joseph served as Chief Research Officer, Chief Neuroscience Officer, and Senior Research Fellow at several institutions and agencies while earning numerous awards for his journalism and trade technical writing.Joseph refers to himself as boring - something loudly debunked by his readers and peers - and weaves wildly imaginative stories that dance on the boundary of the known and unknown sciences where natural, preternatural and supernatural intersect. Fans' comments regularly mention Carrabis' ability to bring together advanced mathematics, quantum physics, cybernetics, and neuroscience with believable multi-dimensional characters and spellbinding future technology. Joseph has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, recommended for a Nebula Award, and received an honorable mention in 'Writers of the Future'.
