The Devil and Max Largent: A novel of Humor, Hope and Heart. Are second chances real, or does the Universe just have a wicked sense of humor?

Meet Max, a free spirit and his only family, a floppy-eared German Shepherd, Rhett. Then imagine facing a double whammy: stage 4 brain cancer and a visit from an irate Devil. What would you do if the Devil demanded you write a book using your life as an example of why our world is descending into hell on earth, threatening his relevance?

Max reluctantly agrees, desperate to save his soul. But here's the real twist—his biggest concern isn't his illness. It's whether he'll be able to have time to find a good home for Rhett. As he maps out what may be his final journey to find peace on the beaches of Hawaii there's one more revelation waiting: Max discovers he has a surprise daughter who wants answers, now. Buckle up for a roller-coaster ride of laughs and tears that will make you sit up and pay attention.

Exquisite!

I was a basket case...this book is so moving and just exquisitely written. A great read for anyone dealing with loss or imminent loss of a loved one.

Fantastic telling of a fantastic tale

From its first moments this unique and delightful novel is totally absorbing. Poor Max has just had dire medical news and if that’s not enough, now the Devil has appeared to demand that he write a book based on his life to show why the world is in such a mess. The writing is clever, the story absorbing, and the whole experience a true joy.

a masterpiece that should be on the Big Screen

The Devil and Max Largent is one of the most captivating, original, and thought-provoking novels I’ve read in years. It’s a rare combination of psychological intensity, moral complexity, and spiritual depth — wrapped in a plot so gripping that I found myself holding my breath through entire chapters.

Max Largent is the kind of protagonist that stays with you long after the final page: layered, flawed, human. And the way the story wrestles with good and evil, justice and redemption, makes it more than just a thriller — it’s a reflection of the battles we all face within ourselves.

This book needs to be a movie. The dialogue is cinematic, the scenes are vivid and haunting, and the emotional impact is unforgettable. In the right hands, this story could stand alongside Primal Fear, Seven, or even The Shawshank Redemption. It’s that powerful.

Hollywood, take note: The Devil and Max Largent is begging to come alive on screen. I’d buy a ticket opening night.
