"A dead-on thriller for the decade . . . . I can't imagine anyone reading this and not wanting more" - 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 around-the regrets, rationalizations, commercial jingles, the lies that hide what they can't bear to think-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 friend-his only friend-is murdered and he is forced to assemble a team of people like him to fight the international conspiracy behind the murder.
"Green is a delightful book...a smart, witty and wise look at love later in life by a writer who's . . . well, later in life. Green couldn't have been written by a younger man; there's too much hard-won wisdom in its pages... Krever writes with a sure hand and a light touch. The lightness, love and witty dialog made me think of A Midsummer's Night's Dream, so I can heartily recommend Green to anyone who enjoys a rich love story - and feels like taking an armchair trip to Ireland." -Mark McKenna, 5-star review of the ebook Paul and Emily have been friends for decades. Just friends, as they say. Emily's beautiful, well-off and has always pursued Paul, in her subtle way. He, on the other hand, has never been quite sure why he's not crazy about her. And then, with his career plummeting along with his self-confidence, Emily invites him to visit her in Ireland, where she lives raising and training horses. And Paul thinks, maybe it's time to let her catch me. Be a kept man-would that be so bad? And then-naturally-he falls for the firebrand Irish barmaid, during a week of international protests against the coming Iraq War and a chance that suddenly arises for Paul to turn his whole life around-if he can summon the will to be bold. Green is about a small group of people and a week when their lives intertwine. It's about romance in middle age, when the stakes have gone way up. It's also about the difference between love and friendship (they're not as similar as we'd like), sex and passion (they're not as similar as we think), Ireland, horses, the rule of greed in the world, war, sex, horses, baseball, Ireland, horses and sex. Did I mention sex? And Horses? (Well, I capitalized it that time...)
Recently divorced and out of work after 9/11, what would you do? Drive up to Canada to see the girl you were crazy about 25 years earlier-but never even kissed-carting along your 77-year-old former writing professor who can't sit more than two hours at a clip and swears he's vegan despite the fact that he has a butcher (with great boobs)? Nearly destroy the girl's business, bringing Canadian men back in touch with their masculinity? End up in bed with her-and her sister (not at the same time, I swear) after being accused of trying to blow up the Prime Minister of Canada with a Super-8 projector? That's NOT what you would do? Oh...well, here's the story of someone who did. WARNING: This is a silly book. You may giggle like a girl, even if you are one.
