Book 1 of The Straker Series
Echoes Before Horizon
Some men are built. Straker was discovered.
A man is found naked and unconscious in a Louisiana swamp by two unconventional Cajun brothers. He has no memory of who he is or where he came from.
He takes the name Fenwick Straker.
As Straker begins rebuilding a life from nothing, he discovers that he is no ordinary man. His extraordinary intelligence, remarkable reflexes, and seemingly limitless curiosity set him apart from everyone around him.
With the help of a sharp attorney named Caldwell and a growing circle of unlikely allies, Straker builds a financial empire from the ground up — only to find himself drawn into something far larger and more dangerous than business.
A chance encounter leads to maritime adventure. A mysterious organization called Blue Horizon Reclamation pulls him deeper into international intrigue. And a government investigation begins closing in from the shadows.
Then there is Abby Smith — brilliant, perceptive, and the one person who sees Straker clearly. Their connection becomes the emotional core of everything that follows.
But not everything Straker builds can be protected. Not everyone he loves can be saved.
Echoes Before Horizon is the beginning of an extraordinary journey — one that will take Fenwick Straker from the swamps of Louisiana to the open sea, and ultimately toward a destiny that neither he nor anyone around him can fully imagine.
