(Castroville, Texas: Black Rose Writing, 2020)
The author’s first novel begins with this line: “No one, let alone me, realized it at the time, but April 19, 2011, was the most important day in the history of the world.” After his only friend and colleague disappears, Dave Randall goes quietly about this life until he begins to understand what happened. That’s when he embarks on a journey not only to uncover the deeper meanings and implications of his friend’s fate, but also his own journey of self-discovery will have ramifications far beyond his own little life.

A five-star review in Indies Today noted, “Daniel Maunz is an exceptionally talented writer who has taken on the monumental task of not only asking, but answering, some of life’s biggest questions.”
