War correspondent Michael Wolfson’s passion to end torture, genocide and crimes against humanity
leads to a scientific revolution in truth technology that must survive attempted destruction
by powerful secret, government, corporate and underworld organizations.
Human behavior based on verifiable truth sounds good, but not to the array of powerful and
desperate adversaries any such truth science would face—for whom it would spell the end
of secrecy, illicit power and influence, the fruits of corruption, violence,
and crimes against humanity. Starting in Washington, DC.

| By 1906, the Western frontier has almost completely disappeared and wanted gunmen are a dead or hunted breed. An aging outlaw on the run from his violent past seeks sanctuary in Big Sur, a “Refuge for Settlers and Outlaws” on California’s wild central coast and is forced by fate to become the “last of the otter hunters”—only to be challenged by violence and hardship to a destiny as the only man able to save them from extinction by his own kind. |

BEYOND STEINBECK
The Last Otter Hunter tells the story Cannery Row’s definitive historian always wanted to.
By David Schmalz
Monterey County Weekly • Thursday, September 15, 2011
|
When
Michael Kenneth Hemp moved to Monterey in 1979, it is tempting to
imagine that Doc Ricketts and John Steinbeck breathed a sigh of relief
from on high. Over the next decade, the author established himself as
the preeminent historian of the Cannery Row era, and nearly all of what
he has recorded (much of which can be considered a local, and national,
treasure) would have been lost forever without his efforts. A writer by trade, Hemp’s interest in the piece of shoreline was piqued while researching a dining guide. To his surprise, he found that no major books existed about Cannery Row history outside of Steinbeck’s namesake novel. “I stepped into one of the last opportunities like this in the world,” Hemp says. |
