A Call From The Dark

Call From The Dark - Synopsis By Michael Fisher Everything in the universe is random, and we have no control over life or what happens to us. That is how Mike Fisher, a quadriplegic who uses a wheelchair and is paralyzed from the chest down, sees it. If there is a God pointing at people and cursing them with diseases, that’s no one he wants to meet anyway. Fisher reveals what led him to be crippled and tries to make sense of the dark apocalyptic world he finds himself in this memoir about facing death. It’s a world where his mind is chased by darkness and ghosts visit regularly. Through this reflection, Fisher also provides his thoughts on a myriad of philosophies, psychology, and more. This is also the story of his wife, Amanda, who has been the author’s guardian angel while battling health problems of her own. They were an ordinary couple head over heels in love when he fell ill. This account isn’t about seeking sympathy as the author believes in just getting on with it— pulling up his pants and battling through is something he’s always done. Join the author as he celebrates his survival and explores what life means in A Call from the Dark.

Months have passed since the interplanetary communications net was destroyed, isolating planets across the Republic of the Sphere. Achernar is one of the few worlds still in possession of a working Hyperpulse Generator Station, capable of communications across the galaxy—and a much sought-after prize for the splintering factions of the Republic to acquire. Raul Ortega failed to qualify as an active MechWarrior, finding some solace in the Republic’s military reserves on Achernar and dreaming of the day he might know the adventure and glory of real combat. The Republic-loyal forces of Achernar whom Raul serves are supported by a loose alliance with the Swordsworn, a faction pledged to House Davion, whose leaders have an agenda of their own. When the planet falls under siege by yet another splinter group, the Steel Wolves, who are intent on capturing the HPG station, Raul is called to active duty. But when the Swordsworn desert Achernar in its time of need, Raul discovers that there’s little honor in the brutal realities of war and the subtle nuances of treachery...

What will become of us in these trying times? How will we pass the time that we have on earth? In gorgeously rendered graphic form, Light in Dark Times invites readers to consider these questions by exploring the political catastrophes and moral disasters of the past and present, revealing issues that beg to be studied, understood, confronted, and resisted.

In a time when many of us struggle with the feeling that we cannot do enough to change the course of the future, this book is a call to action, asking us to envision and create an alternative world from the one in which we now live. Light in Dark Times is beautiful to look at and to hold – an exquisite work of art that is lively, informative, enlightening, deeply moving, and inspiring.
