    About this ebook

    Xen is new to this; having lost his wife he thought his life was over. Discovering a new gift, however, gives him purpose. Suddenly he finds he can see beyond the physical, inside to what lies within.

    He soon discovers the dangers this strange gift brings, as he seeks to gain control over it before it destroys him. Quickly it becomes a race for his life as he flees through Italy, evading Interpol, obsessed followers and dangerous criminal enemies.

    Eventually, after many mistakes, he discovers his purpose. Just in time to save himself, and maybe the world too.

    This is a gentle psychological thriller, with a hint of the supernatural. Often funny, sometimes emotional, it is an enlightening read from an exciting new author with a great voice.

    Douglas Brain

    Douglas is a Cognitive Scientist and Software Engineer, turned novelist. In arriving late to the world of fiction, his works are developed and mature from inception. His books lie somewhere between psychological fiction and holiday thrillers. He creates engaging stories that are easy to read and have a nice flow. He often draws from his knowledge of psychology, investigating the mind and thoughts of his protagonists. The level at which the reader wants to engage with the books is left up to them. One can read at a superficial level and enjoy the plot and excitement he creates. Look deeper, however, and you can detect subtle themes and questions his characters ask themselves, and the reader. Douglas has a great voice and has received much praise for his writing style and stories he creates. They each stand alone and can be read in any order. He continues to fight the trend for creating formulaic series or over-emotional works, instead choosing to create books that can be read and enjoyed by anyone.
