Jon W. C. Flanagan is in his mid-sixties when a combination of auto accident, stroke, and seizure leaves him apparently comatose.

Produktbeschreibung
Jon W. C. Flanagan is in his mid-sixties when a combination of auto accident, stroke, and seizure leaves him apparently comatose. Involuntary reflexes remain; he can breathe on his own, but is unable to move. Unbeknownst to the medical team, he can see and hear. Expected to quickly pass away, he lingers reflecting on his life while observing the staff and infrequent family/friend visitors. He develops a relationship of sorts with Rachel, the primary treating nurse who is less sure of the diagnosis than the physicians. Meanwhile, an 'angel of death' is working in the hospital. Flanagan identifies the killer and determines to somehow tell Rachel. His life now is a race against time and a quest to perform a final, perhaps his only heroic act. Provided a rare gift of total self-reflection, he is provided a rarer opportunity for personal redemption.
Autorenporträt
Robert William Pladek served many masters, sometimes to their satisfaction. After 17 years of "lawyering" he became a publisher, forcing weekly newspapers on increasingly disinterested audiences. He has run both legal service firms and a chemical engineering company. Pladek published reams of humor pieces in adult magazines under his non de plume "Bill Allen", as well as many "funny business" type articles in more PG-13 rated rags. Working with a German artist, Pladek wrote and sold single panel comics about a corrupt lawyer. He's a middling guitar player and songwriter, his material poorly played in coffee houses in New Jersey and any other state that will have him.
