Book Cover & Preview Text
John Wallace let out a long breath of air. Any remaining doubts he might have had about his quirky visitor abruptly vanished when his banker called to inform him that five million dollars had been deposited into his account.
After hanging up the phone he began to think about Frank Berger. Despite what he had told Frank, John knew there were many things that could go wrong with such an endeavor. Although, with the amount of coin being thrown around, he doubted Frank would have much trouble finding the doctors and other technicians he’d need.
John also knew there were few surgeons experienced enough to successfully perform this delicate procedure on a live patient. Screw it, he thought, if it turns out bad, five million would heal a lot of wounds.
Besides, his only legitimate concern was the construction of the new operating room and purchasing the needed equipment. If Frank was crazy enough to hire frigging hacks to do his dirty work, it was no skin off of his nose. Hell, his friend with the brain tumor is probably a dead man anyway.

“Before I can do anything you must first free the girl from this foolish machinery.”
“I can’t do that. It will set off an alarm and a nurse will come in to check on her.”
“Do not concern yourself about such things. If you want to save this female creature, you must trust me. I will allow no one to enter this room until we are finished.”
One by one, Jack started unhooking the girl from the life-support systems that were keeping her alive. Surprisingly to Jack, there were no noticeable changes on the monitors or in the signals they were sending. But when the little girl’s body began to convulse, Jack asked, “I, are you certain you know what you’re doing?”
“Silence! It was you who insisted that I help this being.”
Within two minutes Jack knew the child had died. He was just about to say something when he heard, “Lay your right hand on the tiny female’s chest.”
Jack hesitated, but finally reached out his right hand and placed it lightly atop the dead girl’s chest. Less than a minute later, Jack could feel the girl’s heartbeat. He looked down and was amazed to see she was breathing on her own. Her ashen skin was changing to a healthier, pinkish hue. Another minute passed and Jack felt a strong stinging pain inside of his head. The pain was so intense it momentarily brought him to his knees. The terrible pain quickly vanished and he heard, “We must take leave. I have done all that I can for this child.”
Only when he was safely back inside his room did he begin hearing a loud commotion from down the hallway. The little girl’s life-support system had alerted the nurses’ to a problem, and all hell had broken loose.

About the Book
Few people could honestly say they knew Jack Williams personally. But within the inner circle of the dot-com world, his name was well known.
Both of Jack’s parents perished in a terrible car crash. At the time of the accident, Jack was only five years old. Because the authorities could find no living relatives, Jack spent the better part of his youth living as a frightened, lonely orphan, continuously moving from one foster home to another.
Despite his early disadvantages, over the next twenty years Jack Williams became one of the richest, most influential businessmen in
********************************
For countless eons, the banished angel has known nothing but absolute darkness. The only sounds he hears are the ravings of his own scathing voice. But most frustrating of all is the utter stagnation of his unfathomable, black world. Nothing in it ever changes. Nothing, that is, until the fateful time when he first sees the light.
*********************************
After meeting with three of the most respected surgeons in the country, thirty-eight-year-old billionaire Jack Williams realizes that his twenty-year run of good luck has finally run out. Believing that fate has dealt him a certain deathblow, his main concern is how Ann, his wife of only ten months, will react when he tells her the news: he has less than a year to live.
*********************************
The length of his confinement had never been cause for concern. An immortal being, the demon’s time is infinite. His only fear: he may never manage to escape from his depressing, black abyss. His most fervent desire: to seek out those who had shunned him and take his revenge.
*********************************
Frank Berger is shocked and irate. He’s just heard the news: his best friend has an inoperable brain tumor.
“Screw what those goddamn quack sons of bitches told you! I’m telling you there’s no such thing as an impossible situation! There just has to be a way of beating this thing, and I promise you, buddy, I’ll leave no stone unturned until I damn well find it!”
*********************************
As the demon excitedly slithers his way toward his unexpected but more than welcome visitor, the majestic, pulsating light suddenly disappears. Looking round and round, up and down, he becomes enraged when he sees nothing but utter blackness. But his dismay quickly turns to glee when, only moments later, millions of these arcane, inexplicable lights begin streaking across his impious domain.
*********************************
Only days after learning about Jack’s inoperable brain tumor, Frank believes he’s discovered possibly the only way to save his friend’s life.
What Frank had no way of knowing is that his ingenious plan to save one man’s life will place our planet and every living thing on it at considerable risk.
*********************************
The monster does not know how, does not know why, but all the same he strongly senses that these fleeting lights must be the keys to the gateway of his freedom. “Yes, yes, yessssssssss!” the demon screams. If these strange lights can come and go from this dreadful place seemingly at will, is it unreasonable to assume that I should be able do the same?
