A Mac Sisco Novel
Book three of the Mac Sisco Trilogy
Pandemics have taken a toll on humanity. By the end of 2021, however, the world was recovering. Innovation ultimately won the day as medical breakthroughs in virus research delivered lifesaving vaccines in record time. But just one year after the Typhon cabal was vanquished by Mac Sisco and Team Apogee, an even more daunting and invisible force is now at work exploiting new realities of human dependency on big tech as they tighten their grip on life’s most essential needs, with sinister consequences for mankind. Once again, Mac and his team are called upon to save the world from those who would destroy it.
"The situations of pulling a political thread to reveal multiple, potentially disastrous events, not knowing whom or what to trust as the web is revealed and untangled, and a race against time are three components in the story that the author handles with consummate skill."
"High-octane action, twists of plot that test characters and lead to questions about what situations they're actually tackling and how they are resolving them, and the intersection of personalities who concurrently address their own ideals, successes, and failures makes for heady thriller reading."
"With twists and turns aplenty, this gripping conclusion delivers a satisfying resolution to the series’ overarching mysteries while keeping readers guessing until the very end."

Poetry / Philosophy
Things of Little Consequence is a philosophical exploration of sentiment, musings, and circumstance that poetically suggests the human condition is less complex than it is complicated—that life is not as enigmatic or indecipherable as we often prefer to believe.
"John Casey has written something of worth beyond its appeal to poetry lovers. Things of Little Consequence potentially offers a different way of living for those forming life patterns. In reflectively probing what it means to be human, Things of Little Consequence both realizes and transcends a work of exceptional art."
– CONSTANCE STADLER, READERS' FAVORITE
"By encouraging readers to embrace the interconnectedness of life and the coherence amidst seemingly intricate circumstances, Casey challenges conventional perspectives. For those seeking a book that ignites both the intellect and the heart, Things of Little Consequence is undoubtedly a must-read.
