The Author’s Personal Prelude to the Billy Thinx Saga
After a Gleason-eight diagnosis, a man tries to bargain with time.
After a Gleason-eight diagnosis, a man tries to negotiate with time itself — 1968 Las Vegas, Time Masters, and a Creator who will not be dodged.
Synopsis
Steve Irwin’s personal prelude to the Billy Thinx Saga. Prostate cancer. Forty-four radiation treatments. A Gleason eight. Then 1968 Las Vegas, a Tesla quantum time-crystal watch, Luca “the knife” Buchamonte with a name badge that says Marigold, and two Time Masters named Jerod and Navi. Dedicated to Gale, Jeff, Stephanie, and Doug — and to anyone in the midst of a cancer battle. ACIM runs through it. The last pages name the next hero: Billy Thinx, a mining hole in Colorado, alien markings on the wall.

If I am going to die, I’m going to Vegas
Readers of the adventure have called this a book about redemption. Readers of the inner life have called it a book about time. It is both. The war, the cancer, and the years between sit in the same story.
Dedicated to Gale, Jeff, Stephanie, and Doug — and to anyone in the midst of a cancer battle.
