9•2•5
Delve deep into the minds of a CIA agent avenging the death of his MI6 partner, the serial killer that did it, and the serial killer’s son. Highly suspenseful and thrilling, 9•2•5 resonates as an at times psychotic tale of revenge.
Gregory Belittled breaks from his nine-to-five life by making a fortune coming up with an anti-skimming mechanism for the Bank of Las Vegas. He uses it to buy everything he needs to take down his father, the door-to-door killer.
He relies heavily on the secret service training his own father forced on him after his mother disappeared, her whereabouts still unknown to Gregory. Making use of all of the off the books channels known to him and his father, he establishes his fall out base, his armory, and his cover.
He masks all of his steps by using great degrees of social engineering, lying and manipulating to get what he wants. Out to make a killing of his own to set his father up for failure, how far can Gregory go? How far is he willing to go? And how far should he go?

About the author
Æmilius
5 booksA sword cuts a fountain pen in half, splattering ink on paper, table, floor, and walls. A mighty roar shatters glass windows as Æmilius tries to find the right phrase or maybe frame of mind?
Totally strange, writing in the third person. I worked with a script consultant and fought every prejudice thrown at screenwriters, keeping us away from the basic fact that writing doesn’t have to be that hard.
Years after writing and years later publishing 9•2•5 I found a book that didn’t say in its title that that was the book to use when practicing creative writing, but it was. Most books that have “creative writing” in their title completely disregard the two most important exercises you need to learn before anything else.
As a writer, you should study every kind of writing. As a screenwriter, you also need to study metaphors, not only that, your entire movie often is one big giant metaphor, but of what? And the writing, visceral writing, that actually means it’s written for the senses. You step out onto the gravel and it presses into your feet.
The book: “Writing Better Lyrics” by Pat Pattison. Other than that, Egri, and the CMoS. That’s it. That’s all there’s to it.
And I have a pretty extensive resume in terms of learning. I always work. Who cares whether I get paid, right?

The author has a very unique writing style that will not work for most readers, me included. The editing is atrocious. There is zero character development. And absolutely no understanding of the American version of English grammar. I felt as though I were reading completely nonsensical words and then a picture slowly formed in my mind of the story. There is a decent plot buried deep under a bunch of rambling nonsense, if you can sort out the multitude of characters. The ending is rather anti-climatic when you reach it.
