‘DESCRETION IS NOT ALWAYS THE BETTER PART OF VALOR’
Outside the sky was turning into dusk and darkness wasn’t far away. New York would be a 12 to 14 hour drive and we would travel through the night. Time was running out, growing more and more precious by the second. I thought about Emily, Elizabeth and little Bradley; about the fear they must each be feeling. I thought too about Mr. Bordenwell; how he must be pacing the floor and at night tossing in his bed; dreaming of the horrible things that might already be happening to his missing family.
How ironic I thought, together one day, torn apart the next, perhaps never to see one another again. In my mind there were also thoughts of the people we were about to confront. Killers, murderers who love the thrill of power, sadistic men and women whose only interests are themselves, a hidden race of underworld people deriving their pleasures and fortunes from the suffering and death of others. Sighing, I made a face. Jake was right, we couldn’t save the world. Truth be known some people didn’t want to be saved, but that was their business. Somewhere in the State of New York were three people that did. And come hell, high water or a bullet, those three would taste their freedom again.

About the Book
MINDTALK
The novel follows two long time friends, each unique and colorful, but who see life from opposite perspectives, one confident and outspoken the other living beneath the spell of Murphy’s Law. While tracking down the kidnappers they stumble upon a hidden joint American/Russian project known as MINDTALK; the secret development of a serum allowing telepathic communication not only between humans, but a select segment of the animal kingdom as well.
Captured and imprisoned by the Mindtalk organization, they become trapped beneath the earth in a network of refurbished Underground Railroad Tunnels; here they become prey, human guinea pigs in the further development of the serum. With escape seemingly impossible they struggle against insurmountable odds quickly realizing the serum itself and unthinkable human endurance have become their only chance of surviving.
