“... at once thoughtful, engaging and unsettling, but more than anything, wickedly funny... Strelich’s profane, irreverent vision of a realignment of human sensibilities to save an undeserving world serves up a rewarding read.” –Virginia Brackett, author of In the Company of Patriots The earth's magnetic poles have reversed and civilization has just had its clock reset to the great cosmic flashing 12:00 a.m. from almost a million years ago, and humanity, and everybody in it, is pretty much forgetting everything it learned since then. Everybody except Hertell Daggett, who remembers pretty much everything because he'd once been shot in the head — the doctors got the bullet out but missed a few tiny specks of copper that remained, floating inside his brain, connecting him to the things everybody else on earth is slowly forgetting. Hertell sees an opportunity to start civilization all over again and maybe even get it right this time.

Strelich's profane, irreverent vision of a realignment of human sensibilities to save an undeserving world serves up a rewarding read." -Virginia Brackett, author of In the Company of Patriots Strelich was born into a family of professional wrestlers and raised in Bakersfield, California. His writing career began on a dare from a theatre director, which worked out well since he wasn't a very good actor anyway. His plays have since garnered awards and New York premieres.Not content to fit the norm, for anything, he's a bagpiper, the pipe major for the Santa Barbara Pipe & Drum Corps. And he's not even Scottish. He's Mexican and Croatian, but the bagpipes are the only instrument that comes complete with a costume and an attitude, so it's kind of perfect for him. He's trying to learn the accordion, so if he learns the banjo after that he'll have the trifecta of the most annoying musical instruments. In his spare time, he's also a search and rescue pilot.
