The Big Men

The pursuit of power is as old as human history. In ancient times and in various cultures, it was believed that a person's power, indeed their very essence, could be literally extracted through a variety of means. The methods by which this was accomplished were largely lost to the ages, or banned and purged from historical records by kings, pharaohs, and the like in efforts to preserve their own power and authority. Still, the echoes of these ideas and techniques persist. What would happen if a man living in modern society, a descendant of the practitioners of those arts, were to inadvertently awaken such an ability and what would be the consequences of that awakening? "The Big Men" is a paranormal thriller that explores the perceptions, manifestations, and consequences of power as wielded and coveted by men in the modern era. This debut novel by Michael Shotter will keep readers guessing as they are drawn into the world of such men by a young outsider, capable of taking everything from them.
