Roy Walker is curious. But in a world where knowledge has disappeared, curiosity will get you killed.
Generations ago, the Passim Virus wiped out most of humanity. The survivors banded together to form the Territory and, now, decades later, no one questions why knowledge has disappeared. Why should they? They’re lucky to be alive.
But Roy doesn’t feel so lucky. He’s haunted by the murder of his father and he’s ostracized by everyone in town. He asks way too many questions, especially about the water pumped out by the town’s desalination plant.
Then Roy finds a tantalizing clue that leads him down the coast of what used to be the state of Oregon. He’s stunned at what he discovers. Everything in the Territory is a lie and everything around him is a front. But to uncover the dark secret behind this front, Roy must venture deeper into the wilderness where marauders and the deadly Passim Virus wait to kill.
It’s there, outside the Territory, where he discovers the truth about his father’s murder and where he meets his unexpected destiny — To free humanity from the bondage of a powerful enemy.
He’s worked with producers Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction), Gavin Polone (Gilmore Girls, Curb Your Enthusiasm), and Joel Silver (The Matrix) as well as directors Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump) and Roland Emmerich (Independence Day). Belateche adapted the first Hugo award winner, The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester, for Paramount and producer Robert Evans (Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby).
His first novel, Under An Orange Sun, Some Days Are Blue, was based on his journey as a Hollywood screenwriter after the loss of his daughter. It’s a deeply moving and inspirational story that offers unique insights on how to face and conquer life’s greatest challenges. The novel is a bestseller in Visionary Fiction on Amazon.
With H2O and The Disappeared, Belateche returned to the genres for which he’s best known, science fiction and supernatural thrillers. H2O is a science fiction thriller about a future where knowledge has disappeared and curiosity will get you killed. The Disappeared is a short story about one man’s battle to survive his growing invisibility.
Belateche lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son.
