Finders Keepers is a road trip/buddy-story, with sci-fi/fantasy elements woven into the narrative.
[b]Short Description:[/b]
On a backpacking trip through Europe, Jason Medley and Theo Barnes stumble through hash bars and hangovers; food poisoning and thunderstorms; religious zealots, stalkers, cute girls, lost loves, midnight trains, fever-pitch hallucinations?and the spectre of adult responsibility!
But when a jar containing the Universe’s DNA falls from the land of Eternity to the caverns of New Zealand, these new friends find their loyalties put to the test?unaware that a motley crew from another realm is chasing them across the globe, with the fate of the Milky Way hanging in the balance.
[b]6-Sentence Description[/b]:
Newlyweds and low-level galaxy designers Donald and Danielle accidentally knock a jar of the Universe’s DNA into the newly forming Earth, leaving their fate?and that of the Milky Way?in dire straights.
Fast forward to modern day Earth, where Wannabe-English teacher Jason Medley is stuck in that netherworld between college and a career, until he reluctantly quits his go-nowhere waiter job on Long Island, and backpacks across Europe. There he meets Theo Barnes, an adventurous New Zealander who has already stumbled upon the hallucination-inducing jar?that won’t open?unaware of what’s inside.
As the new friends stumble from city to city, trying to outrun their impending adult responsibilities, they encounter Lilly, a young, sultry painter with a haunted past and a habit for finding trouble. Meanwhile, Earth’s banished galaxy designer and her talking brown Labrador, the newlyweds with a famous friend, and a drag queen with a dream each have their own designs for Theo’s jar, initiating a chase around the globe–and putting loyalties to the test.
Traversing Europe, New Zealand and the backbone of Eternity, [i]Finders Keepers[/i] is a buddy story that not only tackles friendship, sex, commitment and desire, but also God, reincarnation?and what really happened to the dinosaurs!
