During his decades long career as a paramedic he has been in nearly every tight situation imaginable, including, delivering a baby in a dark alleyway, being shot at and nearly stabbed in the neck. Despite this, he never really knew fear until he witnessed the opioid pandemic unfolding.

The narrative is shared by his love interest Dianna, who will do anything to get him through rehab, even if it means having to save the universe by herself.Set in an alternate universe, The Prime Trilogy is a gritty, albeit comedic coming of age tale that poses a serious question, “Could the greatest heroes from inspired texts and world mythology, even begin to fill the shoes of a modern teen?”view less
