WHAT IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE THE WORLD IN BLACK AND WHITE?
You’re Dr. William Raven.
You have a rare disorder of the central nervous system (achromatopsia), which distorts your vision.
A devastating color-blindness.
Since birth, everything you’ve seen looks like a strange, black and white movie.
Now, the only job you can get is at the Nouveau Night Cafe.
The Past
Two years ago, You lost your license to practice medicine.
The reason?
Stephanie Lane, the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen.
It was a simple face-lift.
But something went horribly wrong.
On purpose.
The Present
Enter a mysterious femme fatale.
Her goal?
To talk You into performing plastic surgery on her.
Make her look exactly like the real Stephanie (deformities included).
Her motive?
The real Stephanie’s married to richest man in New Berlin.
OK. So what’s stopping you?
An overprotective, sexually jealous husband, as well as Stephanie’s ‘friend,’ a bizarre, Marilyn Manson-like, ex-musician-turned-private-detective, named Lizzie Lennon.
The Place
Imagine Mardi Gras, Carnival, and Studio 54 all rolled up into one.
A smorgasbord of sex, drugs, masquerades, and claustrophobia.
Then, transplant that atmosphere into a spaceship the size of the Titanic, which takes tourists around the moon and back, like some weirdly futuristic Carnival Cruise vacation.
The twist?
A very high price tag.
In more ways than one.
Only the ultra-rich can afford this get away.
And, since the ship is traveling through space, it conveniently remains outside the jurisdiction of any country.
No laws, no prosecution, no taboos.
Will Raven’s vision problems prevent him from getting the girl, getting his medical license back, and avoiding a murder rap?

Book Reviews
Faulkner may soon be a famous literary name just like authors Tom Clancy and Raymond Chandler.

When I started reading this book, I did not put it down. It catches one’s interest from page one. The characters were very real, and the story line had one staying on the edge. This is Lewis Faulkner’s best yet. I can’t wait for the next book!
