THE NEXT STEP: A Gobsmacking Odyssey of Reinvention is the story of a man coming to terms with his upended life, who reinvents himself through a cast of characters. CB’s personal journey takes him from the left field bleachers of Ebbets Field to Venice, the Holy Land, even to FedEx and Las Vegas. In the process he saves the world and redeems himself.
In the beginning there is Fishman. It was an easy decision for Fishman to choose to work at FedEx. Where else could messages be sent out so far and wide, circling the globe like carrier pigeons? Then there is Weintraub, who, lost in illusion, searches for a way home. Add in the discovery of the Palefsky Chronicle, teleporting, and the magic of shipping and delivering, and you have the raw gumbo of our story.
