About the Book

As connected by the fate of a family's once magnificent Victorian home, Post the Panama-Pacific intertwines a mystery through two juxtaposed tales, one set amidst the dynamism of Progressive Era San Francisco, against the backdrop of 1915's Panama-Pacific Exposition, the last and greatest of the Beaux-Arts international expositions, and a second set in a moribund future some thirty years from the present. Remaining together or drifting apart, in both stories, amidst the challenges of their times, multiethnic pairings of entrepreneurial characters struggle to find their place in the world. As the consequences of untimely death, secrets, and discoveries play out, a forgotten past proves capable of exerting its influence more than a century on. Employing real events and borrowing upon real personalities, the past story gently inserts its characters into 1915 San Francisco's vast suspension of reality amidst the worldwide events which turned the 20th century tragic. Without pausing in the present, the future story describes a dystopian San Francisco, now the product of a self-perpetuating juggernaut of progressive policy incapable of defining an ultimate destination, a vast suspension of reality in its own right.
About the Author: Dr. Peter C. Foller received his Ph.D. in the first language he loved, chemistry, from the University of California at Berkeley. After a career in the management of research and development, serving tours in the service of companies both large and small, he opted for a back-to-his-roots retirement in the San Francisco Bay Area, now splitting time between "The City" and a suburban waterfront home. Determined to remain technically active, he participates in several start-ups though his advising and angel investing. At last having the time to indulge his broader interests, Dr. Foller enjoys delving into local history, struggling to fathom local politics, and, through his fiction, plotting out plausible ways to inspire people to take a greater interest in the long arc along the walls of his garage. When not exercising his MacBook Air, or sorting through an arcane chemical sensing opportunity, he can be found on the water, on the tennis court, or planning a next Asian adventure.
