SLO-MO MAN I

Rudy Carlson is a brilliant chemical engineer and the subcontractor of choice for all the East Coast chemical companies. It was common knowledge among the corporate executives for the more complicated projects: if they wanted the job done right, get Rudy, and he never disappointed. Brilliant as he was in the world of chemistry, Rudy was a dismal failure in the realm of love and the sport of fencing. The unusual contract with Dayton Hanover Chemical would change everything when a freak accident in the S-Lab exposed Rudy to a new and powerful pheromone. Suddenly, Rudy finds he is fabulously wealthy while being catapulted from the bottom of the heap in the New York fencing scene to the top of the fencing world. What he never bargained for was that he would also become a sex god, and that was the ultimate price he would have to pay. Rudy's ultimate nemesis, Renée Framboise, had the unusual fortune of rebirth with his knowledge and experiences of being a famous fencer and Maestro intact. At the moment of his death, Renée vows to not repeat a life fraught with mistakes. These two unlikely rivals take an insane journey that traverses the span of their physical life in the world of competitive fencing but also the internal battles that have plagued humankind for millennia. Both men soon discover the reality of love and hatred as these emotions vie with their desire to succeed and their code of ethics. Can they control their craving to win at all costs? The world of high-stakes athletic competition is filled with Machiavellian backstabbers, philandering lovers, and vindictive coaches and athletes as both men naively try to make sense of it all. Rudy's foray into the world of athletic substance abuse affects not only him for both the bad and good but everyone around him as he and Renée are drawn into a bizarre world in the wake of this success. Slo-Mo Man I is a tale of an internal obsession to prove total worth to oneself and the entire world. Watch for the conclusion in SLO-MO MAN II as Rudy's saga continues.
