Mindbenders

“A dead-on thriller for the decade . . . . I can’t imagine anyone reading this and not wanting more” â€" Thomas F. Monteleone, author of the NY Times bestseller The Blood of the Lamb and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing a Novel If you could hear the thoughts of every person for three blocks aroundâ€"the regrets, rationalizations, commercial jingles, the lies that hide what they can’t bear to thinkâ€"how could you ever trust anyone? And if you could make them believe anything you wanted, how could you ever trust yourself? Max Renn is a legend of the Soviet mind control program, a genetic experiment, the product of three generations of psychics bred by the state for their power. Before his first mission, the Soviet Union collapses and he disappears. We meet him twenty years later in the Everglades, keeping as far from people as he can get, until his best friendâ€"his only friendâ€"is murdered and he is forced to assemble a team of people like him to fight the international conspiracy behind the murder.
