Beep!: Beyond the Frogpond and Back: A Novel [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

We've all wondered what we would do if we could live our lives over again, knowing what we know now. It's easy to imagine, but the actual result might be far different than we may think, or wish.... In 1972, Bob B. Pilhaus is a radical, 24-year-old surfer/hippie/intellectual, a cultural refuge and lost soul, running from the law, desperately searching for meaning and peace of mind. Stoned and alone on a train to Biarritz, looking for relief in some soothing, autumn waves on the Bay of Biscay, BP tries to ingratiate himself with a beautiful woman in the dining car--a French-Canadian, named Esmeralda. There is far more to her than it appears, though, and Beep makes a bargain he lives to regret, never dreaming that time travel could be so easy, or that growing up again could be so tough....

Little is known about Stewart Parks, and he seems to like it that way, having refused to submit to his editor either a photo or biography for inclusion in this publication. We have been able to establish that he is a fourth-generation native of San Diego, a UCSD graduate, a member of the WindanSea Surf Club, and a lifelong student of physics, philosophy, and cosmology, who can often be found prowling the beaches of southern California. He claims that his consciousness is frequently involved in inter-dimensional time travel, but his wife tells us that when this happens, it just appears to her that he is napping in his wellstuffed, black leather Barcalounger(r). -Ed.
