What if a guy did ask and get a million dollars? In Louis Carlet’s adaptation of an ancient Chinese fable to a 20th century New York setting, Scooter’s three gifts mean more than money. As the millennium winds down, they prepare him for the ordeals to come. However, can he pass the ultimate test when the inconceivable occurs? With the tension at a boiling point, Scooter must find a way out through a violent ocean, torture, 9-11 and a nuclear holocaust. This story is not only about the pursuit of wealth and love, but a quest for enlightenment. Edgy with plenty of twists and turns, this book will not disappoint.
