This compelling literary novel has readers inspired, and looking at the world through a new lens. A broad range of stunned readers have commented that they have found the wildlife fascinating, the poignant relationship issues resonant, and the action intense; a unique voice in literature. Don't be afraid to laugh, or cry, . . . or lend a hand. Join the HN3H movement, and become part of the solution. It's spreading! Majestic albatross glide over infinite whitecaps. Day after night after night after day, relentlessly; the natural world pounds out its rhythmic beat as wide-eyed optimist Kestrel Falco flies out to the remote center of The Pacific Ocean. As the first ranger stationed on Halfway Atoll Wildlife Sanctuary, he restlessly jostles excitedly in his chair, bristling with enthusiastic awe as he gazes out the window of a small plane, high over the massive seascape. Has Kestrel gotten far enough away? What does he run from? What are the roadblocks to understanding, and peace? What was your altruistic act today? Join Kestrel on his chaotic, quasi-metaphysical journey through our sometimes-surreal world, navigating through family, friends, co-workers, enemies, nature, and sea and Earth; dodging dangerous sharks and deadlier goons, and most importantly; his search for real true love. Can he survive Halfway, the second most remote spot on Earth? If he can't, can we? All he needs is a hand; a third hand . . .
