Immortal Khan

"There's only one word for this book: Fun. Or..maybe three words: Fun. Fun. Fun.

This is not your tired pompous sci-fi novel; this one rocks! The most fun you can have with an eBook? It could be...it could be..."

-- Doug Clapp

Why is the 900 year old Taoist master Chung Li so frantically pursuing his 600 year old student Khan? And was that really Elvis he saw running the Laundromat? A fast-paced ride through the American desert, this "word movie" will entrance readers with unforgettable characters and a timeless story.

"Five centuries ago, at the court of the Emperor of China, lived an artisan of exquisite craftsmanship. His name was Khan. His mechanical fish swam in the Imperial pond, and his metallic butterflies flittered among the flowers in the Imperial garden. One day he disappeared and did not return. Some say he obtained the gold pill of immortality from the ancient Master of Demon Valley.

"Through the many succeeding dynasties, sporadic reports of his appearance have been recorded. He has been sighted in the royal courts of Europe, and more recently, in a trailer-park laundromat.

"This is the story of his last days."
