Just Only Slightly

 

Just Only Slightly 

In this fictional comedy, the author paints a vivid picture of the humdrum life of main character, Paul Talkachev, a down-on-his luck guy living in New Jersey who discovers he is telekinetic. He can move and change objects without touching them and this is just the beginning as Paul sets out on a path of discovery and adventure. Landon’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s new book buying website: https://t16books.com/.

“I set out to create a fun, voyeuristic story about Paul’s life with its blunders, adventures, small successes, and friendships,” said Landon, who served in the U.S. Navy and has been a day trader, merchant mariner, locksmith and writer. “This story is a dark comedy banking on nervous energy amply supplied by Paul and the interactions of a man slowly dripping into madness trying to negotiate other people’s feelings and desires.”

A colorful cast of characters surround main character Paul. Lurch and Stephens, wealthy eccentrics, are on an all-out search for other “Exceptionals” with powers to join forces and conquer the world. O’kiki, another quirky “Exceptional,” enters the picture early on, and she becomes Paul’s partner as they attempt to fight crime, pull off a robbery, and find ways to use their power for good.

“P.B.’s story is such a fun and entertaining read,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “His main character, Paul, will make you laugh and cry all at the same time. Paul is so easy to relate to, and the story is a great escape from the everyday routine into a world of fantasy and mayhem!”

Landon lives in New Jersey and greatly enjoys telling stories about everyday occurrences that put his audience at the scene. His second book in the series is in the works and will be published soon as well.

Le Requin

   

 Le Requin

Le Requin is a story about two retired brothers, one a former Naval officer and the other a former Engineer, who love the ocean and sailing. After renting a beautiful sailboat in Corpus Christi, Texas, they set out to cross the Gulf of Mexico, sailing and scuba diving along the way. Their ultimate destination is Key West, Florida, where they intend to fish, relax, see the sights, and bask in the South Florida sunshine. Not long after beginning their voyage, they encounter a group of drug smugglers who are using an old submarine and an offshore oil rig supply boat to transport drugs into the United States. The ruthless dictator from a small, Central American country is behind this operation and is not leaving any witnesses to testify against him. When the brother’s sailboat is observed near an abandoned oil derrick being used to help facilitate the drug transfer, the captain of an Off-shore oil rig supply boat destroys it, thinking its occupants are in the boat, he wants to make sure they are on their way to the bottom of the Gulf. Once back at the pier in Galveston, Texas, in an attempt to recover the $1,000,000.00 paid for their efforts, the Central American dictator has his contacts in the US destroy the offshore oil rig supply boat, killing all on board. The boat’s captain survives, only to be killed a short time later and eventually buried in the soft sandy soil outside Galveston.

The two brothers, who were able to make it safely into Galveston, witness the dictator’s two henchmen's recovery of the dead captain and are able to find the money paid to the supply boat's crew. They use this money to help finance the rest of their trip, only to come across the submarine again. This time, they are able to alert the authorities and help prevent the escape of both the submarine and the dictator’s US-based crew.
