ROCKVILLE, Md., April 4, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- They say two is company, three is a crowd. But in Triangles, the compelling new book from Seth King, what a crowd is made in a story of relationships, rivalry, trauma, and self-discovery.
The central triad of this novel involves two young men, Josh and Donald, who have developed a bitter rivalry but are forced to form an alliance in order to save the life of their mutual love interest. Several other triangular relationships are interwoven into the plot as the enduring consequences of untreated neglect, abuse, and pain are explored. An action thriller on the surface, Triangles also details a young man's journey into adulthood as he confronts his insecurities while striving for a sense of purpose, independence, and a stable sense of personal identity.
Triangles is a riveting action thriller but what sets it apart are the underlying psychological principles that serve as a basis for the story and the motives of the characters. "It (Triangles) has more depth and it is more thought-provoking than most books in this genre. It will entertain people as well as possibly cause them to think about their past and current relationships and how those have shaped their lives," says King.
