Thirty-five years ago, ten children were abandoned in a pit of quicksand by mile-marker thirty-five to protect the reputation of the all-powerful Chiswick family. Thanks to the timely intervention of the local bag lady, though, they survived.Now, meeting annually as The Society of Miserable Bastards, they move through the corridors of power visiting blessings, civility, and kindness upon the family that tossed them aside. And at their meeting tonight, they will visit the grandest kindness possible upon a very special guest indeed... WHILE STAR WARS and STAR TREK seeded J. Daniel Sawyer's passion for the unknown, his childhood in academia gave him a deep love of history and an obsession with how the future emerges from the past. This obsession led him through adventures in the film industry, the music industry, venture capital firms in the startup culture of Silicon Valley, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the worlds that assemble themselves in his head. His travels with bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, and inventors led him eventually to a rural exile where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a pair of production companies that bring innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.For stories, contact info, podcasts, and more, visit his home page at http://www.jdsawyer.net
