New novel is an original adventure about a seemingly trivial protagonist's journey to awareness.

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- After traveling the world playing backgammon and tennis, Ron Maddock settled back down into the seductive environment of Fort Lauderdale.  His days had recently been spent longing for Lynn, an elusive dream of a creature who vanished unexpectedly.  While burying his past at Murray’s Pub one evening, he meets an eccentric South Florida resident who changes his life in unimaginable ways.

This odd but brilliant little man, Mr. Nachron, has an agenda that includes obtaining several historical treasures that must be retrieved from the past.  Mr. Nachron propels Ron to several intriguing locations where he is confronted by beautiful and sometimes dangerous obstacles along the way.  With a combination of grace and charm, Ron maneuvers his way back to present this incredibly interesting fellow his coveted items.

When asked if the book is autobiographical and if the characters are taken from real life, author Mike Corbett says, “They are inventions of a playful imagination, but I couldn’t ignore my own experiences when constructing their weaknesses”.

Corbett’s book takes the reader on an exciting ride with vivid descriptions of exotic locations, and lively characters from centuries past.  Mike’s hope is that not only will the reader be entertained, but he may also learn something in the process.

“Mr. Nachron’s List” is available for sale at Amazon.com, B&N.com, MikeCorbettBooks.com and other channels.
