Axel Hooley’s past and present are on a rapid collision course – a battle transpiring not only within his weakening body, but with the very forces of fate, nature, destiny, and personal choice that haunt us all. A tale of hope, friendship, and the cosmos destined to collide in Los Angeles, Axel Hooley’s Death Watch List is a hilarious love call to anybody who’s ever navigated the unpredictable labyrinth of life threatening illness or rallied allies for day-to-day survival. "Sandoe keeps up the suspense as he slowly unwraps the mystery of Axel's past and effectively evokes the compassion that develops between strangers when a loved one is in distress . . . [T]he author delivers a raw, honest and humorous story about illness and recovery. An engaging, darkly comedic tale." Author Scotty-Miguel Sandoe masterfully weaves a story of friendship, perseverance, and hope, which he highlights with twists that are out of the blue but somehow remain believable and entertaining. He handles the topic of cancer with appropriately stark images, but never in a manner that tries to either trivialize or sensationalize the disease. His use of fantasy segments cleverly help pull together and resolve some of the story line's multiple subplots. Sandoe's wonderfully witty and creative style provides a well-paced, highly enjoyable novel . . . ." Clarion Used Book in Good Condition
