Atlas of Men

Files from a secret research project show up on Dr. Robert Thames's doorstep, forcing him to think about something he's been avoiding - the degrading "study" at Danvers Academy, especially the naked photos of each student, including himself, taken at his prep school. He tracks down four close friends from school, and together they uncover the terrible truth of what was buried by the faculty, the school, and the boys themselves."An inherently compelling novel by an author with a genuine flair for narrative driven storytelling" -Midwest Book Reviews

"Deeply flawed characters, teenage flashbacks, and unfinished business create the perfect recipe for drama, rich with indecision and sexual tension."  - Delia Stanley, Foreword Reviews

"In a riveting, often chilling and poignant story of transcendence, physician and author David Sklar draws upon his own experiences in crafting an ambitious new publication, Atlas of Men. Atlas of Men is a heartfelt fictional version of a true-life scandal involving nude photographs of teens and young adults taken as part of sordid, so-called scientific research --a study Sklar was an unwitting participant in as a teen."  - Claire Hamner Matturro, The Compulsive Reader

"Driven by a seamless movement between past and present, ATLAS OF MEN delivers a powerful story that is as unique as it is unsettling. As manifest in the technical nature of the storytelling, Sklar trusts in the intelligence of his reader and in doing so challenges those readers to immerse themselves in new realms of science and pseudoscience." - Johnny Masiulewicz, IndieReader
