Book Description

July 27, 2006
No one escapes from Life, Inc. - not even Death. Foreign thoughts and feelings have begun invading the Stabilizer, Life, Inc.'s Senior Death Agent in the Department of Darkness, Mortal Division. Some remind him of the heart he used to own-and the man he used to be. Detecting his quiet struggle, Senior Management acts swiftly to ensure his highly sensitive position cannot be compromised by an awakening conscience. With his scheduled retirement drawing near, the Stabilizer aims to right himself, but office politics, affection for a woman, and knowledge of the Boss's "Big Mistake" compound his problems until he must flee to find his own way home. Fear, anger, frustration, and defiance of the "System" fuel a dizzying flight from skewed justice toward a grand finale that none save one could have imagined.

About the Author

Jonathan P. Davis is a published author and an award-winning business and marketing freelance writer. He is also a songwriter and musician. His first book, Stephen King's America (Bowling Green Popular Press, 1994), explored the recurring American themes in popular author Stephen King's novels and short stories.

Life, Inc. is his first published full-length original novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Edgy. Funny. Original., March 30, 2007
This review is from: Life, Inc. (Paperback)
If any of the following applies to you, go ahead and put Life, Inc. in your Amazon shopping cart and enjoy the ride:

* Worked in an office and can appreciate the fact that most people in that setting are imbeciles

* Appreciate insightful, edgy and sharp wit... fans of the TV show Arrested Development understand what I'm talking about

* Fan of science fiction...but not in a dress up like characters on the weekend kinda way...but a fan who appreciates M. Adams, F. Herbet, L. Niven, R. McCammon, J Morrow; have DVR'ed episodes of X-Files and Twilight Zone (in color or black and white); and thinks Battlestar Galactica is genius.

Life Inc. is well-paced and thought provoking. You'll often find yourself nodding your head in reluctant agreement or utter disbelief... an excellent combination for any novel. The author brought to life truly original characters the reader can pity, despise and love all at the same time. Enjoy. Bryan - Chicago

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaks all the rules, February 9, 2007
This review is from: Life, Inc. (Paperback)
A surreal and spiritual fable, Life, Inc. spins the reader through adventures that navigate the insecurities littering the lost path to the authentic self. Davis also moves corporate familiars into entirely new territory. By turning common office annoyances inside out, he inspires audiences to find their own story. Closed minds need not enter - this book breaks all the rules.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life and Death, November 1, 2006
This review is from: Life, Inc. (Paperback)
The Author has brilliantly created a word picture of our universe that we have only imagined in our mind. A world in which the mysteries of the space between life and death have plagued us forever. The story explains a possibility of what and why the balance in GOD'S master plan works.

Terrific book with no excess language for the reader who likes to think.
