The Power of a Pawn

Samuel Chelsea is not your typical hero. He is armed only with a legal license, obtained late in life, and a strong sense of justice. His zeal as a public defender thrusts him into pivotal cases with far reaching consequences, successively facing ever more powerful foes. He will force society to ponder increasingly complex questions about whom and what has the right to define and control life. Ultimately, those questions will be decided by the readers of the series, no easy task. In each story, readers must wrestle between positions widely held as truth, until juxtaposed. The Game of Life begins in a world like our current one, and ends in a world quite unlike our own. In The Power of a Pawn, accused of the most horrible crimes a woman can commit, Amanda remembers nothing. Found guilty, she becomes a pawn in the Game of Life. Society's revenge and the end to her pain hinge upon her fate, but the flames of the media are fanned when her life becomes inextricably linked to an innocent bystander.
