You Only Live Once

You Only Live Once

"A manically funny farce, both delightfully absurd and strangely plausible." --Kirkus Reviews

From zero to heroâ€¦

James Flynn is an expert shot, a black belt in karate, fluent in four languages and irresistible to women. Heâ€™s also a heavily medicated patient in a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital. Flynn believes his locked ward is the headquarters of Her Majestyâ€™s Secret Service and that he is a secret agent with a license to kill.

When the hospital is acquired by a new HMO, Flynn is convinced that the Secret Service has been infiltrated by the enemy. He escapes to save the day, and in the process, Flynn kidnaps a young Hispanic orderly named Sancho.

This crazy day trip turns into a very real adventure when Flynn is mistaken for an actual secret agent. Paranoid delusions have suddenly become reality, and now itâ€™s up to a mental patient and a terrified orderly to bring down an insecure, evil genius bent on world domination.

Editorial Reviews:

â€œA brilliant homage to everyoneâ€™s favorite super-spy, and a hilarious, action-packed, made-for-the-movies thriller about a man suavely dancing along both sides of the thin line between heroism and madness.â€ â€”Matt Forbeck, New York Times bestselling author of Halo: New Blood

â€œPacey and unrepentant fun, Haris Orkinâ€™s You Only Live Once takes the James Bond mythos, gives it a swift kick in the backside and steals its wallet.â€ â€”James Swallow, New York Times bestselling author of Nomad

â€œFill shaker with ice. Add equal parts Ian Fleming and Quentin Tarantino. Shake (do not stir). Garnish with Douglas Adams, and you get You Only Live Once, a delicious martini as dry as the dusty California desert.â€ â€”Dan Jolley, USA Today bestselling author of the Gray Widow Trilogy

â€œHaris Orkinsâ€™ You Only Live Once is a tour de force, brilliant, hilarious, and moving. Written with stunning style, itâ€™s James Bond meets One Flew Over the Cuckooâ€™s Nest, with a generous dollop of Don Quixote thrown in. All captured in prose that scintillates and pops, the book exploding in an extraordinary climax that is wildly funny and deeply moving.â€ â€”David Scott Milton, award-winning author of Paradise Road

â€œIf youâ€™re lookingâ€”and who isnâ€™t?â€”for a sexy, slapstick, razzle-dazzle, rockâ€™em-sockâ€™em re-imagining of Don Quixote as James Bond emerging from deep cover in a mental hospital to save the world, Haris Orkinâ€™s hilarious yet touching You Only Live Once is the book for you.â€ â€”Charles Harper Webb, award-winning author of Brain Candy

â€œYou Only Live Once makes for an engrossing read offering many satisfying twists and turns. Fans of thrillers will be delighted by the various nuances Haris Orkin brings to the table as he introduces a quasi-hero who ultimately faces success despite himself. A healthy dose of humor and irony is added to create a story about a misfit in search of a mission.â€ â€”D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
