Wolf Wikeley

Shizuoka, Japan: The near future. Academic exchange researchers Zedec Baxter and Blam Van Milner immerse themselves in the culture, cuisine, and technology, but find more darkness than ever expected. Attempting to satisfy his voracious sexual appetite, Baxter mishandles relationships with lethal results. Van Milner, falling in love, becomes the final piece of a puzzle that could lead to military disaster.

In this visualist-minimalist novel, written with a cinematic style, Wikeley uses his first-hand experiences of life in Japan, combined with fantasy confession and memories of palliative cancer care, to create an absorbing world of tense drama.
