What starts as ambition soon turns into a battle between truth, survival, and the dangerous cost of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Interview with a Dead Man will be available in Paperback, Hardcover, and eBook formats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Stephen Arthur was a highly skilled space-systems engineer who&rsquo;s deeply unsettling stories explore the hidden fears and moral struggles within the human psyche.
