THE COMMON MAN
In a universe where destiny is no accident, The Common Man: The Scurry unveils a cosmic secret long hidden from humankind. For centuries, the heavens have protected a sacred order—an invisible framework known as the Sorting, which determines every human’s path in life. Enforced by the mysterious Milky Guards and governed by the powerful, unyielding Council, this system has remained undiscovered—until now.
When two unsuspecting humans, Sean O’Neill and Paul Washington, cross paths during the sorting process, a ripple is sent through the very foundation of the Council’s control. Their connection threatens to unravel a truth so profound—it challenges the very concept of free will. As panic consumes the heavens, the formidable Malaywah and his Council race against time to silence the rebellion and restore the secrets of the sorting table.

“Paul Howd masterfully weaves a universe where destiny is designed, not discovered. The Common Man gripped me from page one with its philosophical depth and thrilling narrative. It’s not just a story—it’s a challenge to everything you think you know about choice.”
“The sequel, The Scurry, blew my mind. The stakes are higher, the world is richer, and the tension is nonstop. Paul Howd has created a cosmic chessboard where every move feels critical—and yet, terrifyingly out of our control.”
“I’ve never read anything quite like The Common Man. The concept of the Sorting and the Milky Guards had me hooked, and the philosophical undertones lingered with me long after I finished. Can’t wait for the next installment!”
