Writing under the pen name Jonco Bugos, author of "Blind Fool Running", science fiction author Michael Casher explores the human condition as well as the vast cosmos while opening more new windows on the everyday world. In his second literary novella, "The Truth Is a Lone Assassin", there are no names or numbers or tags or labels for anybody or any thing. An unnamed narrator tells the story of a man who started to become the man he really was ten years ago, at age fifty, after a startling cosmic awakening. The result is not a mystical, magical tour of an alternate reality but a brave new look at the real world, the one that exists right under your nose. If you are aware enough and ripe enough for its wondrous but deadly revelations.
