The novel revolves around four people: Navy SEAL Max Pollack, FBI Agent Peter Anderson, DHS coordinator Brian Walker, and base commander Colonel Steven Walsh. The government suspects that Max Pollack has supernatural powers and it's no surprise that the Department of Defense wants him to work for them. However, Pollack refuses to admit that has any powers at all.Colonel Walsh and Walker pull all sorts of tricks to make Pollack (the mindbender) use his mind control abilities for the benefit of the government, but none of them succeed.The author found a clever way to show how Max Pollack manipulates other people's minds. We also learn that the mysterious entities that gave Pollack his mind control powers may have other agents who were also granted supernatural abilities.The book is full of mystery and suspense. I couldn't wait to find out who gave Pollack his powers and what their agenda was. The plot is very unpredictable, there are more twists and turns than you can count. I also loved all the tidbits on the paranormal that the author provides to support the plot.The novel has interesting, well-developed characters. Their motivations are well-described. If you are a fan of conspiracy theories, you will find this book enjoyable as well.I will certainly look forward to a sequel if there is one.
