In the Shadow of the Autobots



"An improbable journey - by Buster Witwicky"

Summary
As of late 2012, this is just an idea, dropped by Ratchet, arguably Buster's closest Autobot friend. Because of the worldwide flood, Buster took a semester off from his doctoral studies. Now, without winter classes and a slowdown on the emergency duties on the flood side, Buster is faced with some free time. A book documenting his incredible story so far seems like the logical choice to spend the next six months. But will he write it? More importantly, how will he approach writing this book. Will it be an unflinching account, sparing neither his brother or his father from the pain Buster felt as a teenager as the two were off with the Autobots? Or will it be a more muted account as the three are now living under the same protective roof. If - IF Buster agrees to write his memoir, it will be a struggle between his scholarly instinct to release a work of absolute integrity into the open versus the possibility of his book reopening old wounds that took nearly two decades to heal. Either way, Ratchet volunteered to be an editor so long as it's Buster's authentic voice.
