Murder comes to a remote fishing village. No one can imagine who he is or where he came from when the killer is caught and beaten unconscious. When he wakes, he can't remember who he is or why he is there, sending the village into chaos and uncertainty. After an age-old ritual, the killer is handed over to a young orphaned woman living on the edge of the village. Taska Valimer is deemed his keeper for a lifetime. As secrets are revealed and the villagers begin to fear the killer will turn on them all, humanity, trust, and the darkest of human nature converge. All the villagers must face the coming darkness and with it comes treachery, deceit, intrigue, and hope. "A novel with the rarefied atmosphere of ancestral myth, The Staff unfolds in a time and place that feels ancient and simultaneously apart from history: a northern seaside village where the air holds the electric charge of prophetic meaning. Samul has written a dark, tension-filled allegory of crime, punishment, and transcendence that will appeal to fans of Hawthorne, Kafka, and Shirley Jackson." -- Tim Weed author of Will Poole's Island and A Field Guide to Murder and Fly Fishing. "In the tradition of Orwell and Huxley and Dostoevsky, Ron Samul has imagined a world in stunning detail where justice and human dignity are casualties of the fears that inhabit us and determine the contours of our lives. It is a terrifying world that exists beyond our reference points and yet it feels oddly familiar because the people we come to meet there, though strangers to us, give us an unexpected glimpse of ourselves." -- Don J. Snyder author of Of Time and Memory and Fallen Angel. "An intriguing, skillfully constructed plot about the darker side of human nature. This novel features an intriguing and original main character." -- The Book Life Prize.

When we collide with a reality that isn't fair and isn't planned, we are faced with a choice: to either be overcome by our circumstances or to move with purpose and make our own way

If you have a loved one on a breathing machine, this book is a must-read. Read this book if you are a non-medical person and want to know about mechanical ventilators, patients on breathing machines, or respirators. It makes sense of a critical situation in a medical environment that is "foreign" to nearly everyone.This book is written by a respiratory therapist to help the average person understand more about ventilators and the ICU environment. Mechanical ventilators are life support breathing machines or respirators that are used in ICU to keep people breathing and help them stay alive while their life threatening problems are being reversed. When loved ones are on ventilators it is a crisis that few understand. The first chapter is a quick reference with FAQs addressing most of the questions that might come to mind. These questions are organized to refer to the remainder of the book which explains in lay person's terms the details and complexities of ventilator patients from the initial respiratory failure, to placement on a ventilator, ventilator patient management, weaning off the ventilator and how ventilators are used for specific diseases that result in the need for life support. This book makes plain language out of normal respiratory anatomy and physiology, why people stop breathing, how COVID-19 ventilator patients are being treated, and discusses practical issues of life, death, and brain death. Simple but informative diagrams and pictures make clear medical information passed on to family members or significant others by doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists. There are parts of the book that get complicated because this is a complex situation. If the reader has trouble with some of the explanations just skip on over it as each chapter is a new part of this process and may provide understanding to previous topics.This book is recommended for everyone who has the circumstance of having someone they know on a breathing machine. This is not a medical text, but could easily have value to respiratory therapists, nurses and doctors in the ICU.
From the wheat fields of Kansas to surfing the immense waves on the shores of Planet Nuptia, the author takes readers on a journey which may be referred to as the "future meets the past." In "Earth Boy" a child is held captive on Europa and in the "Longevity Gene" a geneticist searches for a gene complex that may hold the key to immortality while stock car drivers race around a track in Alabama and discover something totally unexpected. As the book title suggests, searching for and struggling to acquire independence is the underlying theme of the book's short stories which concludes with poems about seagulls, crows, ship wrecks, dangerous sharks and young love that makes today seem like yesterday.
