The Man In The Rain Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

Mondu, once an AI designer at the top of the Nigerian IT industry, needed to escape from a life that was eating him alive. He found refuge as a shopkeeper in the depths of the Amazon, at a unique resort. It's a preserve for all forms of Amazon life--reptiles, mammals, and human and material culture. No modern technology allowed.In a world of dictators and perpetual surveillance, it is one place where a man can disappear--and Mondu isn't the only one who knows it. When the tourist traffic is driven out by torrential rains, only the businessmen and the scientists remain--until the day when a man walks into Mondu's shop. He wants to disappear--and the Yakuza are hot on his tail.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After a childhood in academia, J. Daniel Sawyer declared his independence by dropping out of high school and setting off on a series of adventures in the bowels of the film industry, the venture capital culture of Silicon Valley, surfing safaris, bohemians, burners, historians, theologians, adventurers, climbers, drug dealers, gangbangers, and inventors bred in him an obsession with staying one step ahead of the future springing uncontrollably out of the past.

To date, this obsession has yielded over thirty books and innumerable short stories, the occasional short film, nearly a dozen podcasts stretching over a decade and a half, and a career creating novels and audiobooks exploring the world through the lens of his own peculiar madness, in the depths of his own private forest in a rural exile, where he uses the quiet to write, walk on the beach, and manage a production company that brings innovative stories to the ears of audiences across the world.

    This is the prequel to Predestination and Free Will. This is where important characters of this saga are presented to us, in such a vivid way that we can almost feel the heat and humidity surrounding them. A must read.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2011
    Antithesis! This is where it all starts. If you're new to the universe J. Daniel Sawyer put together, this is a great bite-sized place to start. This is a short story, rather than a full novel. However, it packs a lot of punch, and gives us a glimpse of how two pivotal characters in the storyline got their start.

    Great read, highly recommended. It's an excellent, character-driven piece with set against a painstakingly well-researched sci-fi setting.
