'The Mindbender' is based on a unique idea: a man is given mind control powers, but there's a catch: he can't use them to enrich himself. The government pulls out all the stops to find out what this man was sent to do and to make him work for them. Because Max Pollack, the mindbender, can control minds, his jailers are in constant fear that he will escape. At the same time, the government wants to know why Pollack is not trying to run away.What is the mindbender's ultimate objective? Do Max Pollack's masters want to annihilate the human race? These are main questions Peter and other members of the government team attempt to answer.There are a lot of curious historical and scientific facts scattered throughout the novel, which show that certain supernatural phenomena could be real. The story develops fast, which I liked a lot, because many suspense books nowadays take forever to get the plot going. The characters are not black and white, sometimes you agree with them, sometimes you don't. The book has the right amount of suspense and paranormal elements.If you like intelligent books that are also entertaining, 'The Mindbender' will do it for you.
