Richard Thomas knocks it out of the park with his debut neo-noir thriller. Seven characters roam a post-apocalyptic island in this one-of-a-kind ride, searching for absolution, redemption, or just plain survival.
Part Bradbury, part Cormac McCarthy, part Lost, TRANSUBSTANTIATE takes the reader on a careening, zig-zagging trek to a dizzying conclusion, and Thomas takes us inside the head of each character with unique first-person narratives from the viewpoint of all seven. Vivid imagery, violence, fear, and lust—TRANSUBSTANTIATE has it all.
When I finished, I could picture Thomas with a wicked grin and a glint in his eye, waiting to unleash another story on his readers. Big things are in store for Richard Thomas.
