Howard G. Frederick is a prominent figure in New York City’s legal community, now extending his expertise into literature with his novels Funding Eden and The Prometheus Initiative. As a partner at The Platta Law Firm, he’s known for securing landmark victories. Drawing inspiration from a career shaped by groundbreaking legal cases and a deep conviction in the transformative power of love, truth, and goodness, Frederick crafts stories filled with hope in a world that often feels adrift. His books go beyond traditional legal thrillers, blending fast-paced courtroom drama with speculative science and journeys into the afterlife.

Through his work, he aims to show readers that even in the darkest moments, redemption is possible, and the law can serve as a guiding compass on that journey.
Haunted by his past and wielding a unique psychic gift, young lawyer Calvin Hill uncovers a clandestine medical experiment—the Prometheus Initiative, created by the formidable Hartman Industries. While offering the promise of immortality, the initiative masks a sinister conspiracy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of existence. Cal becomes ensnared in a web of deceit and is pursued by shadowy figures desperate to safeguard their secrets, with humanity’s fate hanging in the balance. On the cusp of a technological revolution, Cal must confront his inner demons and expose the truth before it’s too late. Attorney and author Howard G.
