About the Author

Author Frank Wilson has used his talent for humor, dialog, and satire to create a multi-faced, fantastic story in his first book, Lize. His discontent with backstabbing coworkers explodes onto the page as an allegorical sci-fi adventure that literally eviscerates at least some of the objects of his ire. Not content with simple lampoon, he layers the various fortunes of a rag-tag band of misfits on top of a multi-continent tour reminiscent of a geography lesson, and technology of Star Wars. The outlandishly imaginary hardware, genetic mutants, locations, and situations are strangely consistent. Frank leads you along a tenuous thread of almost comic-strip panel episodes to an enjoyable, humorous and personal satire, sometimes only fully understandable from inside his creative mind.
