Loose Cannon Ent. is proud to help announce the fifth book in the Reality Master Series is now available. Written by world traveler PM Pillon, 'The Reality Master And The Return Home' is the fifth and latest volume in the Reality Master series. After being propelled by forward in time to the Present, Volume Five continues the exciting time shifting/time travel adventure-thriller with all new experiences of Joey's friend Freddie and encounters with the mysterious black-lipped walking dead. Will the prophecy of the deadly grey mist smothering all life on earth come to be? This final volume continues the story of the main protagonist, 10-year-old Joey Blake and a most unusual alien device he calls 'Lucky' as they break through the boundaries of time to avoid danger, disaster and the criminal forces. Volume 5 marks the final confrontation with a dangerous terrorist organization that has seized a destructive counterpart of the miraculous device that Joey has awarded the moniker 'Lucky'. Originating in 2012, the series was inspired by an odd dream about an elementary school child who found a device which had the power to change events after the fact. 'It was so clear and complete that was like watching a movie, so creating the story was almost second nature,' said Pillon. Other titles in the series are: Vol. 1 The Reality Master Vol. 2 The Reality Master And A Threat To The World Vol. 3 The Reality Master And Travel Beyond Vol. 4 The Reality Master and Missions Through Time About The Author PM Pillon has lived in several nations on three continents, and at one point during his travels fell in love while visiting the American Midwest, and while there experienced marriage and offspring and obtained a university degree. He eventually returned to his beloved California where he appears to be currently entrenched, though he aspires to semi-retire in a tropical paradise, probably in Central America or El Caribe, while still maintaining his home in the good old USA until the end of his earthly days. 'The Reality Master And The Return Home' by PM Pillon - 127 pages - Retail price of $3.99 (eBook edition).
