The Book of Traps

Passionate spoken words and lyrical prose match with beats flooding in on a wave of emotion.

In a violent post-apocalyptic society, a drifter, Eli, has been wandering westward across North America for the last thirty years. He finds solace in a unique book which he carries on his person and guards closely, whilst surviving by hunting small animals and seeking goods in destroyed houses and vehicles to trade in villages for water and supplies. When he reaches a village ruled by the powerful mobster, Carnegie, the man views Eli's impressive fighting skills and offers Eli a place within his gang. Carnegie presses his blind lover Claudia to send her daughter, Solara, to at least convince Eli to spend the night by sleeping with him.

Paul Hurst’s book is not only an original gem, but a rare and, I would say, “must read” for every fledgling entrepreneur plus those who are further into their business career yet not privy to the wisdom of experience every one of these pages exude.
