False Positive is the true story of Tristan Seth Nettles, a man whose life reads like fiction but isn't.

Raised in the American South somewhere between wealth and poverty, Tristan grew up stubborn, restless, and determined to find his own way through a world that kept trying to decide for him.
That search took him everywhere. He's been a soldier, a dark web drug dealer, an outlaw, a mercenary. He's survived armed home invasions in Mississippi, done time in Southeast Asian prisons, prayed in mountaintop temples in Nepal, and fought on the front lines in Ukraine. Through all of it, he kept moving, kept surviving, and never quite outran the past he carried with him.
Then everything changed. When Ashley Oosthuizen, the woman he loves, was wrongfully imprisoned and sentenced to death in Thailand, Tristan's years of running finally had a direction. What started as one man's reckless chase for freedom became a fight to win someone else's.
Told with dark humor and brutal honesty, False Positive is part love story, part war story, part crime saga. Think Forrest Gump meets Catch Me If You Can, except none of it is made up. It's a messy, human, sometimes unbelievable life, laid bare on the page.
