Pascal Editions is pleased to announce the publication of Chaotic Butterfly, the second novel in the Supply Chain Trilogy by author James Amoah.
Plot Summary:
The Anans, a close-knit family of entrepreneurs forging a history-making international business, clash again with a sadistic criminal mastermind bent on global domination.
Their battle brings together a cast of characters ranging from street children and radical hackers to passionate CEO’s and mysterious hit men; from straitjacketed madmen and Russian Mafiosi to Chinese security forces and Interpol operatives; from the death cults of the wretched of the earth to the beautiful people on the most glittering heights of wealth, influence and power; plunging them and you the reader into a careening avalanche of thrilling excitement and action.
Chaotic Butterfly–the second volume of James Amoah’s celebrated Supply Chain Trilogy–follows the first book in the series, Devil In The Chain, to steer the reader through some of the darkest and most critical aspects of the way the world works now, ranging from global corporate espionage, supply chain disruptions of critical industries, revolutionary blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation, and the ever-looming reality of pandemic bioterrorism. The story fearlessly addresses the reality of political and economic manipulation by the elite, while making clear the extraordinary power and looming threat of apocalyptic emerging technologies like AI.
From the moment that a fiery inferno in Ghana destroyed Michael Anan’s wife and child, he and his family have struggled to build a new and better world for themselves and all working people. But now global players with intricate and evil designs of their own want to pervert their life’s work to further their own twisted ends.
The family’s defiance puts their very lives on the line as they endure harrowing car chases and horrific plane crashes, experience high romance and violent terror, fighting to the end to unravel the mystery behind the violent deaths and disappearances of their loved ones and colleagues.
And when the truth is finally revealed, Michael Anan, his wife Naomi, and his children Jo, Jacob, and Benjamin, will face the greatest danger yet, and it may well cost them—and the world—everything

Frank J. Edwards, M.D.

Pascal Editions is pleased to announce the publication of THE PROBLEM WITH ZERO, by Dr. Frank J. Edwards. This second collection of Dr. Edwards’ poetry includes updated and revised versions of a number of poems from his earlier collection of poetry and short stories, It’ll Ease The Pain, but focuses on his new and more recent work. The volume is currently available for purchase on Amazon.com.
In THE PROBLEM WITH ZERO, Dr. Edwards brings a new feeling of seasoned experience, familiarity with form, concern with the past, and increasing innovation, to his art. The drama and pathos of the medical profession, retrospective looks back to the author’s terms of service in the jungles of Vietnam, and moving elegies to departed relatives sit cheek to jowl with meditations on an episode from Star Trek, canoe trips, the terra cotta army of Shih Huang Di, and an ironic appreciation of fellow poet Billy Collins.
Like his fellow author-physician William Carlos Williams, Edwards excels in the evocative snapshot, the image ripe with meaning while never over-ripe in its expression. Contemporary in form, the poems often reach beyond themselves into the philosophical (as with the title poem) but also the meaningful, as in the many poems dealing with family. Human relationships are at the center of Edwards’ vision, and while ‘the problem of zero’ may lap around its edge, the core humanity at the center endures resplendent. These are poems to meditate on, and cherish.
Fans of Dr. Edwards’ fiction will find in a deeper glimpse into the novelist author of the Jack Forester trilogy, a trio beginning with his previous riveting thriller, Final Mercy followed by the five-star-review-winning REAP, works as powerful and serious as today’s headlines.
In his new volume, as in his novels, Dr. Edwards brings together high verbal skills and lifelong experience in Emergency Medicine and as soldier and father to create dazzling work that touches the heart and mind, as well as some of the most important subjects of our time.
