Walter Parks's life has fallen apart. Until a few days ago, he had it all-a beautiful wife, baby girl, home in the suburbs and a not-so-beautiful, but reasonably well paid job as pencil pusher at a pen company. Then Walter learned how quickly "having it all" can turn into "losing it all". So, when the bank decided to foreclose on his home, Walter Parks decided to simply say "no". Well, say "no" and turn his home into fortified castle not seen since days codpieces were considered sensible outerwear. Thus begins the ever-escalating war that is, The Siege of Walter Parks. In this post-modern comedy of errors, some grammatical, one man shows that an act of short-sighted idiocy may be the only reasonable response to an irrational world.
Business is war! A gateway has been opened to another world where monsters and magic are real, and so are the profits! Roland Griff is a billionaire who sees the immediate potential of another, more primitive world rich with resources and cheap labour. He asks oil prospector Marc Aaron to join him and bring his family along for the adventure. For Marc, it's a chance to reconnect with his estranged wife Diane, and his young son and daughter who are practically strangers. Nothing, however, goes the way its supposed to. The orc inhabitants of the fourth world aren't content with being exploited the way Roland Griff hopes, and the gate turns to be a Pandora's box for Marc and his family. It's Jurassic Park meets Planet of the Apes meets The Lord of the Rings, in an epic tale of a family trying to survive in a world gone mad.
Fifty-years-ago, the United States created the most powerful weapon of all time, capable of destroying not just the Earth, but the entire Universe - then managed to lose it. Now, it's been found, by a thirteen-year-old boy, named Alex Graham, who decides to sell it on eBay.As a result, Alex finds himself the target of US Intelligence, foreign governments, international arms dealers, fundamentalist Christians, an insane United States President and, of course, Islamic terrorists. His only hope is a CIA Agent, named Charlie Draper.The problem is, Charlie is a broken man. Tormented by the death of his wife and daughter, Charlie has stopped caring much about anything. When Alex is orphaned by German Neo-Nazi soldiers-of-fortune, the two are thrown together on a desperate, dangerous and epic journey to find the meaning of life, the universe and everything and, hopefully, some half decent reason to keep it all going.Ranging from laugh-out-loud comedy to, at times, heartfelt anguish, Chaos Theory is reminiscent of both the dark satire of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five and the outlandish wit of Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
