Product Description

Slacker gas station mechanic Eddie Duncan develops telepathic ability after a freak accident. Betrayed by his girlfriend Debbie, and escaping from the scene of a robbery, he attempts to use his newfound power to become the man Debbie always dreamed of.

He tricks his way into the position of assistant to the programming manager at Ross Technologies, an artificial intelligence company. Recognizing the potential of an employee, Winston Deaner, inventor of a computer called Vern with a voice recognition neural network, Eddie partners with Winston and builds a corporate empire. Intense media interest follows, but anti-technology currents are awakening. Eddie becomes hopelessly attracted to Dr. Haley Smith and establishes a medical center under her direction. Whilst on a ski break together, they are approached by a stranger, Victor Paine, who sees into their souls, and places thoughts in Haley’s mind…

I saw this book and thought that 'It's worth a try!'.

The bottom line is that it's not a bad story at all, and I was pleased I'd bothered!

Quite a large-ish book, so plenty of time to get some twists and turns in, and reads quite well (not a bad writing style).
I had a slight feeling that the author was feeling his way on what direction to take Eddie - was he a goody, or a baddie?
In the end it sort of went a basically nice bloke, becomes a bit badder after a disappointment with his girlfriend, but ultimately ends up fighting against pure evil.

The prologue tidied the ending up fairly nicely, and the twist at the end was, to me, fairly expected and conventional - but still fine!

So, as I said, a book worth reading and it made me want to look for more by the same author!

Pretty Good Read !!! 7 Nov 2010

Pretty good book! Not enough reviews to really get a feel for it.... but for the price... I thought, 'what the heck'! So I bought the Kindle version. I am NOT disappointed! Likeable and memorable characters. No problem reading to the end! An easy to read, very interesting book with a nice ending.... what more could you want from a book?

Brilliant! 28 Aug 2010
By Stacy L. Daniels - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
After a devastating betrayal by his girlfriend, Eddie's life is changed dramatically when a near fatal accident gives him psychic abilities. While at first he uses his new found powers strictly for personal gain, eventually his character grows and evolves from a poor and simple man with no ambition to one who uses his wealth and his gift to help others and to further technological and medical advancement. When an unspeakable evil begins to taunt him, Eddie must rely on more than his psychic powers to defeat this terrifying enemy and save the woman he loves and his friends. Although containing some minor errors and a few occasions of long narrative, the plot is brilliant, with several surprises that build the suspense at the end as the fate of the world hangs in the balance. This book does contain some adult language, situations, and violence, but nothing graphic or explicit, and has the most dramatic character evolvement I have seen. No spoilers here, but I will say that I absolutely loved the twist at the very end of the epilogue, I literally gasped!

A Pleasant Surprise 3 May 2012
By Lisa Biegel - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a step away from my usual choice in books. There are no deranged serial killers or grand conspiracy theories, but there was a certain element of adventure in this story. The reader joins Eddie in his journey to initially realize his new found power, and then exploit it for personal gain. There is also a certain element of romance in this novel in Eddie's pursuit of Debbie. This is by no means a "nail biter", but will hold the readers attention without drawing them into not being able to put it down. The book isn't long either making it perfect for a day of light reading in the sun!
