The Crossover Test

Product Description James Conrad has one hell of a headache. In two days, he must drive to Montana with his self-absorbed, drug-addicted little brother named Rory, eulogize the father he barely remembers, and find his gun-toting, mysticism practicing mother, who is convinced she will be dead in a day. All standard procedure for the former Army Ranger, except for the man following them…a shape-shifter from another dimension…an assassin sent to kill them all. The Crossover Test follows these four outcasts in a supernatural road trip across America, toward a violent and bizarre climax at the banks of the Missouri River and the gate to another world, where a family will confront the core of evil, discover the secrets of their mysterious past, grow closer, and most importantly, stay alive. Global EBook 2013 Silver Medalist. About the Author Joseph Schwartz was born in Havre, Montana, and lived in the small farming town of Brady until he was old enough for pre-school. With enough furnishings to fill a small moving van, his family made the two-day trip to Phoenix, Arizona. He has made his home in and around Phoenix ever since. Since then, he has made that drive on several road trips with his brothers and father. The Crossover Test is his first novel, inspired from that trip through the sublime landscape of Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming (sometimes), Nevada (sometimes), and finally Montana. Along the way, his mind took its own drive, to other places, other worlds, but never too far from his family. His other passion is teaching language, which he has been doing for fourteen years. He lives with his family in Phoenix.
