Meet the Author
John C Payne
Thursday, December 21st 1-3PM
San Antonio resident, John C Payne is the author of
five novels. Beginning with the trilogy,
“Three and Out” he follows with “Stage Four” and Stage Five”. From the author’s website: “Stage Four and
Stage Five have been generating numerous positive feedback --- too numerous to
list in this space.
I thank all of you fine people who purchase my
books. All receipts go to three different charities. I write for
fun. It's a fun hobby, okay?”
Stage Five: The
Reincarnation.
Out of nowhere, Jamie Richards appears in an
unorthodox manner on the busy streets of San Francisco as a reincarnate of his
great-grandfather Thaddeus Ambrose Richards, who was a member of Colonel Bill
Donovan’s OSS, the forerunner of the current CIA.
Jamie and Denis Sweeny, his old Navy SEAL friend team
up to infiltrate the ISIS recruitment process of young, disenchanted females
and later create major havoc at an ISIS safe house south of the city. The
concluding segment of the book involves Jamie’s deployment back to a German
city near Berlin where Thaddeus Ambrose Richards had met his demise during WWII
trying to kill Frau Koehler, Nazi propagandist. Jamie is now reunited with the
successful and famous, Seri Hakimi. Is Jamie destined to achieve long-awaited
fame? Or will he succumb to the same fate as his great-grandfather?
Jamie Richards, main character in the sci-fi/fantasy
Stage Four book, is reincarnated in the spirit of his great-grandfather.
Thaddeus Ambrose Richards was a WWII intelligence officer deployed by COL
William Donovan to assassinate a German female propagandist. He was killed in
action. Present day ISIS has launched an aggressive recruiting campaign
centered on disenfranchised young females in the US. The San Francisco
operation is highlighted in this story. Jamie Richards is contracted by the CIA
to perform intelligence missions centered on ISIS activities in the US. His
handler is Denis Sweeny, an old Navy SEAL friend and protagonist throughout the
story. Richards is thrust into action trying to prevent radical terrorists from
destroying a major league ballpark and the people in attendance. Later, he and
Sweeny team up to take down an ISIS safe house in San Francisco. Richards
develops a sneaky love-relationship with one of the ISIS team leaders that
carries him to his final mission, the site of his great-grandfather's demise in
WWII. Additional fast-acting sequences take place in San Antonio, near the
Mexican border and finally, outside of Berlin, Germany.
This event is free and
open to the public.
