Philip's Writing

Stone Song (Mystery & Thrillers)

2 chapters — updated Aug 14, 2011 04:46pm

Description: A street full of rioters and looters, or model citizens, at the flick of a switch. Let’s hope the answer is out there also, because the technology is very close to reality. Maybe closer than you think. Ty and Jen want to meet friends, see the sights, and relax. Relax doesn't happen, much. They encounter some nasty characters, and find themselves in the middle of a dangerous situation. New technology in the hands of an unprincipled crew is used to control people's emotions. All the negative ones, like anger, hate, and fear, are aroused to turn people into tools. These guys don't care about the consequences for others, only their own gain. There have to be countermeasures. With help from surprising and very different sources, answers are found, perhaps. Along the way they discover each other.

Quotes Philip Likes

“Conrad placed on the title page an epigraph taken from Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene:

"Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas,
Ease after warre, death after life, does greatly please"

This also became Conrad's epitaph.”
― Joseph Conrad, The Rover
