About the Book

Nathan Christopher Styles, a former US Army Special Forces operative, embarks on a perilous journey that may cost him his life. Seeking safety as he bravely confronts his alleged adversaries, he must also battle personal demons in the form of paranoid-schizophrenia. Styles relies on trusted confi dants as he attempts to navigate the pitfalls -- all the while unsure his trust is always well placed. He’s a man who thought he had it all, suddenly finds himself alone, his world shattered. His circumstances offer scant hope of reclaiming a normal life as he fights just to stay alive.

Review

“Marti’s previous works revealed his ability to expertly weave a tapestry of danger and suspense. However, Phoenix Reborn is positive proof that this author has outdone himself with his uncanny talent for story-telling. This book will have readers begging for more!”

— James R. Atwood, Master Sergeant (Retired), U.S. Army Editor

Editorial Reviews

Nathan Christopher Styles, a former elite operative with the U.S. Army Special Forces, suddenly finds himself in a new and unexpected survival mode. A failed marriage, a medical discharge from the Army, and the death of his father, all within a two-year period, leave Nathan devastated, alone, unemployed, and homeless. Plagued with a history of paranoid-schizophrenia, Nathan struggles to put his life back together.... "Phoenix Reborn"... is a fast-moving story of espionage, suspense, and danger. Marti brilliantly weaves the symptoms of schizophrenia into a fast-moving action plot. Nathan Christopher is often left unable to think clearly, to manage his emotions, to make rational decisions, and relate to others. Assassination attempts on his life and the murder of those around him become a blur during his loss of reality. The book contains material published earlier as a novelette--"From the Ashes." Marti has expanded the account to give additional background information while adding elements of drama, suspense, romance, and intrigue to a unified plot.... Rafael Marti has a creative imagination and is a gifted storyteller. Six years service in the U.S. Army and a career in medical and security assistance give Marti important insight into the theme of "Phoenix Reborn." Rafael's personal background as a medicated paranoid-schizophrenic with an anxiety disorder adds an amazing depth of understanding and credibility to his writing. "Phoenix Reborn" is unforgettable, leaving the reader with a lasting feeling of hope and promise. [Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader Views (09/10)]

The mythical bird, the phoenix, symbolizes rebirth. ""Phoenix Reborn"" by Rafael A. Marti is a fictional account of Nathan Christopher Styles, his battle for survival, and a new awakening.

Nathan Christopher Styles, a former elite operative with the U.S. Army Special Forces, suddenly finds himself in a new and unexpected survival mode. A failed marriage, a medical discharge from the Army, and the death of his father, all within a two-year period, leave Nathan devastated, alone, unemployed, and homeless.

Plagued with a history of paranoid-schizophrenia, Nathan struggles to put his life back together. Confused and unable to differentiate between reality and paranoia Nathan becomes suspicious of everyone, including his best friend and benefactor. He is edgy with bizarre ideas, altered perceptions and becomes highly dependent on his meds, cigarettes, and alcohol.

Nathan Christopher is convinced there is a plot to have him killed. A series of psychiatric consultations, new prescriptions, and therapy offer little help as he confronts his adversaries, real or imagined.
