THE OEDIPUS SYNDROME is a series of five E-Book Novels.

PROLOGUE: Oedipus is a man who, at the behest of others, follows the course of his life vaulting himself towards self-destruction. His life script is apparent to every one but him.

Although he walks in blindness, he is nonetheless a man of super courage, outstanding nobility, and high-hearted intensions; In spite of his merits, both his virtues and defects conspire with fate against him.

While he may be ignorant of his unnatural situation, while he may see, at the end of his career or life, what has happened to him, he may die never knowing that he denied himself the right granted by the Gods, his natural passage of life, which is due every human being who has lived before me and who will come after me.
Sophocles
Circa, 470 B.C.
Theme of " Oedipus the King"

STORY: It is 1993 and Raf Frataleon, at the pinnacle of his career, is ready to retire as CEO of the family business, Frataleon, Inc., which his father had started right after the end of WWII. After the onset of his father's terminal illness, in 1975, he unwearyingly gives up his right to live a normal life, as other men do. Gullibly and naively he spends the better part of his adult life developing the business bringing it from a moderate aircraft after parts manufacturing company into the largest, most prestigious, family owned company of its kind in the world.

Coincidental to his decision to retire comes the news of his mother's impeding death from a near life long illness. The tragic loss of his father three years before had left his mother as the sole owner of Frataleon, Inc. But that fact had never worried Raf. There had always been a spoken understanding between he and his parents that the fruits of his labor would always be his. After her death, every thing he had preserved and built upon would automatically be his.

Unknown to him however, his much younger sister Nicole disagrees with that arrangement. What follows is her plot to disembowel her brother's inheritance and claim it as her own. How is he to save himself from a fate he could never have imagined could have happened? Can he come out of his misfortune intact? He finds that his strength to financially survive his unexpected reversal of fortunes comes from unexpected sources.

Throughout the five E-Novels, we follow Raf as he moves from his earliest childhood, into his traumatic years growing up and on through the trials and tribulations of his adult life. We watch as he prospers and approaches his mid-life. From that perspective, we understand the forces that, unknown to him, propel him, step by step, into his final situation.
