Rick Caplan

The Discarded Rick Caplan

Caplan's adventure of good vs. evil pits Milo Mellish and his outlandish cohorts against The Salvatori, a cult of maniacal, religious fanatics. For centuries, The Salvatori has desperately tried to cleanse the earth of those they believe not created in the image of God. To complete their diabolical undertaking, The Salvatori must first reclaim their lost book, Voluntas Dei, which contains the blue print for their implementation of evil and mayhem. Milo and friends are determined to find the book first and put an end to The Salvatori. However, they have troubles of their own-like falling in love, dodging bullets and falling helicopters, a Dinosaur Theme Park, and the treacherous, femme fatale, Frankie. From the Salvatori's blood-stained dungeons to the Ellen DeGeneres Show-with stops that include perilous gun battles, romance and brisket, the alluring performance of Jack the Stripper, the studio of Fontaine Parks, composer of the musical award winning, "Bootie Cutie," and Gibtown, Florida, "the strangest town in America"-the Discarded's eccentric cast of heroes poke death in the eye while racing the wicked Salvatori to determine the fate of the world.
