Modern Waste is a thrilling adventure of deception, murder, and corruption in a small town in north Georgia. The town's gangs and old families control the county and its police. A rival from another town is taking over, and war is breaking out. As the title suggests, the book is filled with lives thrown away, and futures desecrated. This is about part of modern society that is often lost, people that live in the middle. They are on the fringe, between lawlessness and legitimacy. Marc D. Crepeaux is a juggernaut with the spontaneous combustion of a hopeful beast. He rubs gasoline on his thighs and biceps daily and every easy jog between friends turns out to be a race. He once parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico and punched a shark in the face that tried to get a taste of the action. He can play the spoons. He grew up next to a crick that ran into a river with a kid brother. They had two bamboo sticks and a dog. Any daughter that grows up in his household has to be able to kill a man with their bare hands, obviously. He loves to fish, sleep with beggars, and his only hope is to go back to the farm.
