The Ping of the Seas

By Ken Robbins

Sixteen year old Mark Linderman excels at table tennis. There is no competition for him in the remote town of Chinook, Montana, and not one sanctioned club exists in the state. Shunned at school, he relegates himself to practicing entirely against ball machines in his garage, for hours. His father detests his rejection of traditional sports, but his mom is supportive. To ease the family tension, Mark's adventurous aunt steps in. Her plans take a bizarre turn when Mark meets wealthy and eccentric table tennis club owner Scott Kobara. Mark finds love and acceptance far from his humble beginnings. Meanwhile, Kobara takes extravagant and underhanded measures to develop Mark's talents, hoping to fulfill his own lifetime quest.
