The Banjax Arrest is a psychological mystery set among religious fanatics on a distant lunar colony. This fast-paced novel combines a young man’s inner struggle with a quest to bring down a tyrant and rescue a community from impending destruction. After sustaining a traumatic head injury as a teenager Troy Pace suffers severe memory loss and his personality is altered. Once a promising student he becomes an anti-social drop-out whose repeated brushes with the law embarrass his high-ranking politician father. Following a violent nocturnal episode with a young woman he is dispatched to a remote moon acquired for habitation by the fugitive tycoon Baron Banjax. There he discovers a colony whose inhabitants are struggling to survive after a devastating meteorite impact and over which hangs the shadow of the ruthless cult leader, Croman.

Yet in seeking redemption for his past misdeeds he will ultimately learn that he is a pawn in an even more sinister game.
