Category: New Releases and Book Promotions The Thirteenth Time Zone The Thirteenth Time Zone tells the story of one man's search for peace and enlightenment after serving as a rogue cop in San Diego's worst gang-infested neighborhoods. Exhausted, conflicted and increasingly paranoid, Owen "Blue" Drew impulsively takes a leave of absence, signing up as a crewman on a private boat sailing the Pacific. His decision sends him on a pilgrimage around the world, transforming his heart and changing him forever. The novel is loosely based on the true story of author David Jebb, himself a former police officer. Seeking a lifestyle change, Jebb quit his job in the 1970s and embarked on a five-year sojourn to 33 countries. In India, he walked with a Hindu holy man for four months. He visited Northern Ireland during the time Belfast was under siege by terrorists. He was in Iran just before the king was deposed. All of these experiences laid the foundation for The Thirteenth Time Zone, giving the novel an authenticity and heart not commonly found in literature today. Read more at Amazon.com...
