Award-winning filmmaker Josh Mendoza (What Still Remains) turns his attention to fiction with his sci-fi thriller, Shadow of the Eternal Watcher (Jan. 28, Inkshares, trade paper), a genre-bending debut novel in which alternate realities and time travel blend together seamlessly in a thrilling tale of government corruption and personal redemption.

In Shadow of the Eternal Watcher, Private detective Duster Raines has demons. Some visit him in his dreams, reminding him of the choices he made in combat to survive. Others visit him while he’s awake, demanding he pay penance for those sins. But lately, he’s started seeing an alternate version of reality where he leads a life of importance, full of wealth and power. Visions so vivid, they seem more real than the life he lives as a private investigator, scrounging the gutters of Los Angeles for an easy buck. It’s enough to drive anyone insane.

Pulled into a missing persons case he never wanted, Raines finds himself framed and hunted by the government. But as he searches for answers to clear his name, he discovers a truth he never could have imagined: he possesses the ability to bend spacetime to accomplish incredible feats. With these powers, maybe he’s got a shot at the life he deserves.

 There’s only one problem standing in his way: another Duster Raines.
