500: A Science Fiction Adventure from the Author of "309"

Jim Perkins had been through a lot, ripped from the only life he'd ever known and cast into a hellish landscape with little to no hope of survival. Still, the "big man" persisted, not just for himself but for his new companion.

Now, on the verge of death, the banker finds himself thrust into the midst of an epic, world-altering event far beyond his wildest imaginings. Can Mr. Perkins recover and secure his place in a new reality or is he about to make his final deposit?

"500" is the latest novel from acclaimed speculative-fiction author Michael Shotter. In the tradition of other volumes from The Nod/Wells Timelines such as "309," "Shards," and "The Big Men," it tells its own standalone story while expanding on the universe and characters established in the author's other works.
