Life in Jefferson, Ohio for most teenagers revolved around Friday night lights, post game gatherings at the local Snack Shack, and the occasional bonfire and wild celebrations along the riverbanks at Sheperherds bend. But not for all.
Joshua Noble lived by a different set of rules. Rules that were meant to protect him from a childhood disease which made playing sports or socializing difficult or outright impossible. As certain as he was that he would live his entire life on the outside looking in, he never could have imagined the events that were about to unfold which would unveil the answer to a question humans have asked since the beginning of man kind; Are we alone?
When a deadly and mysterious string of animal attacks around Jefferson makes national headlines, the citizens of Jefferson are on edge. But little do they know the dangerous animal responsible for the attacks isn't hiding in the woods as they believe, but rather walks among them. And when Joshua becomes one of the unfortunate victims, he is left fighting for his life. But his father, Dr. Greg Noble, makes a fateful decision to save Joshua's life, and inadvertently unveils an unimaginable secret that will place he and Joshua in mortal danger. But luckily for Joshua and his father, two complete strangers arrive just in time to protect Joshua from the hidden dangers that seek to harm him. And for unknown reasons to Greg, they appear to be willing to give their life to protect Joshua. It soon becomes evident to Greg that the threat which seeks to harm Joshua and the two men trying to protect him are not of this world, ...and neither is Joshua. Now the fate of earth, another world and people Joshua knows nothing about, will hang in the balance. But will Joshua accept his true identity and realize his potential in time to save them both?
Noble is fast paced adventure that will take you across the universe and back, and leave you begging for more. A cleverly written story of a boy who will become a man, and lead the charge to stop the unstoppable.
About the Author: R.E. Bryant was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, and raised in the high desert of Southern California. Shortly after graduating high school Bryant joined the US Navy and spent the next two years serving his country and traveling the world. After his enlistment, he returned home where he met his wife and started his own family. Twenty years later, he and his wife have two wonderful children, ages 7 and 10, three cats, two dogs, and whatever other stray animal that may come along. Outside of his new found inspiration for writing he loves to hit the golf course (when time permits), poker nights with friends, and spending time fishing with his wife and kids.
Some of Bryant's earliest and fondest memories often include the time he spent with his father and the rest of the family at the drive-in movie theaters catching the newest scifi flick to hit the big screen. Now, as a married father of two children, science fiction is still a recurring theme around the house. Inspired by his children and the drive to fulfill a lifelong goal to do something, anything, he had never done before, Bryant decided to write a book. Shortly after, the idea for Noble was brought to life.
