Shortly after being assigned to defend a corporate tobacco giant against a multi-billion-dollar class action lawsuit, affluent attorney Dennis Arbaugh learns he may be dying of lung cancer. Confronted with both a personal and professional crisis, Dennis must choose between a clear conscience and the comfortable life he has made for himself. Amidst increasing marital discord and sudden, intense regrets over the selfish way in which he has lived his life, Dennis sets out for the Oregon wilderness, leaving behind all his familiar material comforts as well as his wife and career. In the solitude of a large cabin overlooking Lost Lake, he seeks to find himself anew, to make peace with his demons, and to repent, while there is yet time, for the sins of his past. But when he is unexpectedly reunited with his adult son, from whom he has been estranged for nearly seven years, his endeavor takes on whole new dimensions - and a radically new meaning. Influenced by the works of writers as diverse as John Grisham, Ken Kesey, and Henry David Thoreau, BREATHLESS is at its heart a study of human morality, a reminder of the catharsis of solitude, and a testament to the power of atonement.

So many of us live our lives based on ego and self will, driven by money and prestige, either unaware of or not caring about the moral implications of our actions. In "Breathless" Prescott presents a study of a dying man who has violated his true ethical underpinnings to reach for what he defines as success, only to become aware of his mistakes on his death bed. Being reunited with his estranged son and meeting his fiancée precipitates an epiphany of sorts. His dying wish is to see them marry before he dies. The study of regret and atonement provides the backdrop for a masterfully written story sure to please any reader wanting to reflect on the aspects of a life well-lived and the diametrically opposed path that unbridled self-absorption can lead us. Prescott is a little known, but prolific author, who deserves more recognition and a wider following.Product details

Breathless Michael Prescott 9781482643497 Books Reviews
Best book I've read lately. This author is going to be famous.
Not written by the New York Times bestselling author Michael Prescott, but self published and infinitely inferior. It is not for those with a weak stomach. I generally really like Michael Prescott's (the greater) books and have a lot of them. I got this one free from unlimited. However, I began to see that this was the work of someone with the same name and similar title. In the first twenty seven pages, we are treated to a vivid and detailed description of all the protagonist's bodily fluids. Prescott (the lesser) begins with his character Dennis sitting on the toilet in the morning reading the newspaper, occupied with trying to defecate and we are told all this in detail for several paragraphs. Next, we discuss his sputum at the doctor's office and then, right after that, the amount, texture and origin of his vomit. I was eating my breakfast while reading this and had to put the book aside or I'd vomit myself. Was all this really necessary? Maybe to a pre-teenager. Two thumbs down.
I'm really hooked on all the novels I have read by Michael Prescott. Unfortunately, I could not wait to finish this one, for two main reasons. I found the plot to be too close to home for my liking, in addition to not having (in my opinion) a solid story line.
I'm sorry, I am 4 chapters into Breathless and although the story is good, the typos are so abundant that I am unable to concentrate on anything but the fact that no one has proofread the pages. Why spend time and energy writing a book and then allow it to be published without an editor/proofreader or even spell checker??? I cannot finish this book which is so unlike me.
I love his mystery books and in fact have several of them. This one just doesn't do it for me even though it's well written.
I have read many of Michael Prescott's books and have enjoyed every one but none as much as this one. Perhaps because it came at a time when a family member is also suffering from the same disease but i found it truly well written and able to do something very few books do to me, affect me on a highly emotional level. I have the book on my iPad and shall one a]day read it again. I can recommend anyone not to pass up the opportunity to read this excellent piece of literature.
Found this book much different than most others by the author...but still a good read. How though, do books with so many formatting errors get released. Not a great aftertaste for readers? Am adding here now that I've recently heard back from editor and found words being run together may be a problem with how my translates. Was pleasantly surprised to even hear from editor. Bumped my star rating up one because story was good and editor bothered to follow-up on my complaint. Thanks for taking the time.
