The Emperor - Desmond Piranga Olivacea: Part Four of The Human Drama

By Derek Hunter

The Emperor - Desmond Piranga Olivacea - Part Four (and fifth tale) in The Human Drama series is here. When it comes to power couples there are none more powerful than Diamanda and Desmond Piranga Olivacea. But this power couple is not like your typical example. They are not celebrities, no actor/actress, pop singer/football star, socialite/business person combinations. In fact, strangely enough, Diamanda and Desmond are not only not celebrities, not well known, they are barely known at all, only by a select few. But that doesn't keep them from being enormously powerful, so much so that the wealthiest and most powerful men and women in the world are in the midst of applications to their subterranean Uber Bunker City. With Diamanda, she interviewed the wealthiest women in the world in The Empress; for Desmond here, he hears out the wealthiest men in the world. The question is, do the richest and most powerful men and women have what it takes to make the cut? Read the stories - not only Part Four Desmond's tale, but Part Three Diamanda's - to find out.

30 short stories for 30 tarot cards (following a similar structure to one of the oldest decks in existence, the 15th century Mantenga Tarocchi, possibly conceived by Nicholas of Cusa, which has five sets of ten cards representing five aspects to existence). The first 10 books in The Human Drama will take place in modern day Los Angeles, the following 10 will take place in the future, and the remaining 10 will take place in the past, focusing on both famous and obscure people from history. Each story is a work onto itself, but they are also all the more richer when reading them together, especially Diamanda prior to Desmond's story. Dive in to enjoy the ride.

The art for not only The Emperor but all the covers to the books is by the great David H. Sekulla.
