Overview
Will Sheriff Brian Forsberg be willing to throw away a thirty-seven year career in law enforcement in order to avenge a series of unsolved murders that have plagued him since the autumn of 1972? Or will a killer get away with a murder that seemingly has been solved.Author Jason Willis answers these questions and more in Ulysses’ Bow, an allegorical retelling of the classic myth of The Odyssey. Framed around a modern murder mystery in 2009, Ulysses’ Bow journeys back to 1972 to tell the story of the Surdy family, which has been torn apart by the Vietnam War. After learning that his father’s helicopter has been shot down in the closing days of the Vietnam War, Karson Surdy must not only deal with the challenges of adolescence but must also deal with his alcoholic mother, who welcomes the advances of strangers rather than facing the tattered realities of a failed marriage. But veteran Brian Forsberg quickly finds himself entangled in the domestic struggle between Karson and the Rick Breiter, the man who’s trying to replace his missing father.Part murder-mystery and part supernatural-thriller, the Seven Fires Chronicles takes the reader on a spiritual and temporal journey from the remote logging town of Split Rock, Minnesota to the battlefields of Vietnam, and even to the rocky shores of thirteenth-century Nova Scotia. While each novel features a modern protagonist dealing with issues affecting the present, the reader will learn along with the characters that there is an even greater mystery surrounding the pristine Lake Wanagiyata, which the Dakota called ‘Place of Souls.‘ Framed by the ancient Anishinaabe prophecies of The Seven Fires, each of the seven novels sheds more light into ancient events that are not yet done shaping the present and future.One of the unique features of The Seven Fires Chronicles is the concept of ‘Synchronicity,’ dubbed by philosopher Carl Jung. Synchronicity basically tries to show the connection between two seemingly unrelated events. In the series, characters ranging from devout Christians to sophisticated atheists begin to realize that their lives are intricately connected, and sometimes, not even death can break those connections. So rather than telling the story in a traditional, chronologically-ordered narrative, The Seven Fire Chronicles jump back and forth in time in order to show that Good and Evil sometimes change depending on a character’s perspective.
