The Link Boy

An assassin, a priest and a schoolteacher walk into a secret nuclear power plant - to Edwin McCallum, detective by trade and artist by desire - there's something wrong with this picture. He's going to figure out what it is if it kills him. The Link Boy is the second novel set in the Free World, a post-government future, where there are no laws. Just bottom lines."Economics affects everyone everyday, just like physics or chemistry, the difference being this force is entirely human-made. Perhaps even more than the natural sciences, the dismal science should be experimented on, toyed with . . . the source of speculation. Economics is the basis for the way we live; fiction is a gate to other ways. The Link Boy connects those two ideas." - Michael J. Martineck
