TVC 602.1: Ed welcomes Peter Berk, longtime Hollywood publicist and the son of the late Howard Berk. Howard Berk wrote for many top network TV shows of the 1970s and ’80s, including Mission: Impossible, McMillan & Wife, The Fall Guy, The New Mike Hammer, The Rockford Files, and the original Columbo. Peter recently adapted a screenplay that he and his dad wrote together into Time Lock, a sci-fi action novel that depicts a futuristic world with a highly controversial genetic acceleration prison program that instantly ages prison inmates by the number of years of their sentence. Time Lock has elements that will remind you of both Logan’s Run and The Fugitive.
