Fused: The Cult of the Counter-Culture (Mysteries of Fortune)

A bomber with a portfolio, free because he fits no profile, finds his way to a family prize. The narrator is a master of explosives, always learning, a pagan chemist, entertaining new beliefs, a sophisticated survivor aware of the irony of his existence, balancing his contradictions: focused but impulsive, daring and cautious, and determined to redirect humanity. Free because he also fits a socio-political use, privileged yet poor by choice, he attacks a predatory world with violence, to save the future and his family, if they don’t damn him first. A hero to himself, he plays with fire, before more venomous paths reveal themselves. Fiction-mystery/action/romance. Firefall’s Mystery of Fortune series posits a simple axiom: fortune is a mystery to itself, luring us into the arms of the unexpected. Personal wealth and psychic health may ease the way, but they’re always elusive. We decide our fate, even if it's unintended. Not surprisingly, each book in this series expands the series in unpredictable ways. Each stands on its own as well.
