Description

Book #3 in the Blake Waiter Mystery series presents a brand new, standalone thrill ride. Full of humor and unexpected twists. You won't be disappointed.

Dr. Blake Waiter, a forensic psychologist providing top secret therapy to classified military personnel, would prefer not to have adventures but rarely has a choice. Thankfully, a former client, and U.S. Special Forces giant, Chuck, is frequently around to bail him out.

In this adventure, Blake has finally gotten his life back to normal when it all goes to hell again. He'd recently been reunited with his long lost son, his wife had recovered from PTSD, and his psychology career was going smoothly... then he's yanked onto a new project. When he learns that the space shuttle brought back something mysterious from orbit he'd hoped to have no part. Unfortunately, General Belaire, his direct boss on base, still holds a grudge against him and offered the psychologist's services to help investigate.

But this investigation leads Blake, and his ad hoc bodyguard, Chuck, to a top secret U.S. facility buried deep beneath the desert. Somewhere. The secret facility, The Edifice, is staffed by overzealous military, oddball scientists, and more mystery than Blake ever planned to explore.

Meanwhile, a shadowy crew known as the Dead Eyes have finally made their move on Blake and his Artificial Intelligence companion, Talus. The Dead Eyes have been waiting for a chance to steal Talus ever since Blake inherited it from a former patient. This is a problem because Blake is definitely going to need help from Talus this time around.

Deep underground, Chuck and Blake are in a struggle to save themselves and possibly the world as we know it.

And nothing will ever be the same again.
