  Dr. Huang hates Benjamin. Benjamin threw Dr. Huang out of Homer Memorial Golf & Country Club for being a pervert and having a fluid gender identity for subversive purposes. But Dr. Huang got lucky after Benjamin got knocked out by a stray golf ball. After the trauma, Benjamin ends up in the hospital with a futuristic probe inserted between the hemispheres of his brain-a probe implanted by Dr. Huang. Benjamin awakes in a dream-like environment at the first tee box at Homer Memorial. But only to be challenged to a golf match by the three sisters of fate, Nona, Decima, and Morta. Benjamin has no real chance of beating the supernatural sisters, but the stakes become apparent through a series of questions. Benjamin can earn more shots to his handicap for each hole, but there is a deadly catch: if he lies, he instantly dies by electrocution from Dr. Huang's probe. A deadly match that Benjamin comes to realize is happening inside his mind. Dr. Huang monitors Benjamin's every thought; if he even thinks about lying or misleading the sister of fate, he dies. Benjamin's life is at risk for each hole, and a series of challenges designed by Dr. Huang beyond golf await him. The challenges that examine racism, bigotry, gender dysphoria, and what happened to a crumbling American society and body politic. Will the sisters of fate win the match and Morta cut Benjamin's life short, or will Benjamin adhere to his ethical standard, his par, to fight back for his life? Nathaniel Sewell was born in Lexington, Kentucky. He lives in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. His novels are about family troubles, political, social issues and the things none of us like to talk about. Hey Man, Where's Dr. Huang? is his sixth novel.
