Elliott Light

Elliott Light (Engr ’70, Law ’73) published his fourth book, Throwaways, which is available on Amazon and book sites. 

“The body of a young girl drifts over a reef where Jake Savage is photographing lionfish, beautiful brown-striped creatures with feathery pectoral fins that could almost make one forget their venomous spines. For an instant, Jake thinks she might be watching him, but she has no snorkel or mask. She isn’t wearing a swimsuit, but rather is clad in only a shirt and panties. And she can’t have looked at him because she has no eyes. What has this child done to die so young, to be forgotten and left to drift until consumed by the creatures of the sea?

A voice whispers to let her go, but he can’t leave her to the whim of the wind and tide ….a simple decision with deadly consequences.”

Elliott Light (Engr ’70, Law ’73) published The Gene Police in May 2018. The novel follows lawyer Shep Harrington after the DNA of a man long thought dead appears on the scene of a brutal murder. His quest leads down a slippery slope that leads to the subject of eugenics and a confrontation with ‘the gene police.’
