The Zodiak Assassins
A high-flying executive and single mother of an autistic son leaves her career behind to embark on a transformative journey. Seeking a simpler life, she moves to a quaint village in Crete, where she joins the Animal Welfare movement, a cause close to her heart. Yet she soon finds that attitudes toward animals in her new home are more complex than she expected. European vets make periodic visits, attempting to control the burgeoning population of ownerless animals. As her son discovers a newfound passion for their cause, they adopt a dog once trained for fighting.
But life in Greece takes a darker turn when the far-right party, ‘The Golden Dawn,’ rises to power. The government harnesses an experimental ‘Superdog’ program, envisioning dogs not just as pets but as the new workforce, replacing human salaries. However, the unintended consequences of tampering with animal DNA pose a grave threat to the world at large. As the situation spirals out of control, it’s the mother and son who find themselves at the heart of this unfolding crisis, and it’s her autistic son who emerges as an unexpected beacon of hope.

Zuat's Philosophy
Zuat's Philosophy is a novel for general readers, especially young adults who are developing their world views. It endorses laissez-faire capitalism. The story may offend: * Academic philosophers who muddy the waters of philosophy * Lawyers who put law above ethics * Executives of big companies who use ruthless tactics against small competitors * Environmentalists who resent even mild criticism of their precious causes * Young ex-schoolies who self-immerse in alcohol * Religious believers who don't like: - Arguments put forward to challenge their faith - Exposure of yet another wearer of the cloth as a scumbag. A caution to Peruvians: You might not like the revival of memories of Peru of 1980s and 1990s, and the evil Shining Path. Every issue is potentially political. If hens went on strike, politicians (and novelists?) of left and right might debate fiercely the price of eggs. For the rest of you, please enjoy the development of an unlikely romance. It comes with each partner clarifying his/her philosophy and taking much mental and physical risk to achieve that. By the way, Zuat is short for Anzuátegui.
