LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Writer, Producer and Actor, D. Elliot Woods, has issued a clarion call for societal change within the pages of his captivating debut novel, Rise of the Unicorn.

Rise of the Unicorn is a suspense/ mystery thriller that tells the gripping story of an embattled LAPD Negotiator, Augustus 'Gus' Martin tasked with the responsibility of negotiating with The Unicorn- bank robbers who may in fact be a terrorist group.  The problem, however, is that these bank robbers seem bent on committing the messiest daylight robbery and hostage crisis of all time, and they will only negotiate with Gus as the world watches hostages die, one-by-one. With the lives of 30 hostages hanging in the balance, Gus and the newly appointed LAPD Commissioner Evelyn Kennedy- a Black woman, are forced to trust each other to win a chess match to succeed against the most formidable criminal mind either of them have ever faced.

With an acting career spanning 25 years, Woods knows a thing or two about compelling plots and surprising twists. He is well known for his human and alien portrayals in several Star Trek projects. He has also appeared in TV shows such as Loot, NCIS, HBOs Ballers, Marvel's Agents of Shield and more. Although Rise of the Unicorn is the Actor's debut novel, the clarity and appeal of the story gives no indication to his experience.
