Venture Primal Instinct! APED (2025) is the 2nd commercial novel released under the JHN Exclusive Brand of Jacob Hollingsworth Network Corporation! APED exposes a raw nature for the world to finally see what it's like to grow up in the Southern Midwest state of Missouri. If you are a fan of thrillers, mysteries, comedy, science fiction and fantasy stories, or you're like the author of this novel and were born and bred in the Midwest, this is the book for you!
The author takes pride in his Southern Midwest culture by creating characters for those who grew up in the Midwestern Y2K era to recognize and relate to.
3 freshmen students: Michael, Victor and Wyatt, attend a university in the polarizing vacation spot of Branson, Missouri with their own personal agendas. Victor is a revered soccer player on a full-ride scholarship from St. Charles, Missouri. Michael is a highly-touted and celebrated dance major from Hannibal, Missouri. Wyatt is the odd one out from Santa Barbara, CA as the heir to the billion dollar company, Chung Corporations.
In their first day on campus, Wyatt drags and involves his new roommate, Victor, and their new friend Michael on a speculative supernatural adventure with technology he created to investigate a string of local kidnappings around the city of Branson. Wyatt suspects the abductions are caused by something sinister. Victor and Michael play along for shits and giggles, but later find out... these kidnappings may not be ordinary missing persons cases. On their search, the 3 students encounter a professor in disguise at Lam University by the name of Max who is on his own supernatural mission, and he needs the help of Victor and Michael to retrieve his powerful interdimensional device. But it will take more than human strength and resolve. He promises Victor and Michael unimaginable power in order to achieve his goal. But how much of what Max says is actually true?
This all leads to Victor and Michael not knowing what is real, and what isn't. Who can be trusted? Who's actually behind the very real kidnappings?
