The Faith Machine: An ESPionage Novel

A fantastic niche, psychic espionage. Think Legion season one meets The Men Who Stare at Goats, or the X-Men in the X-Files. A must read for anyone who loves a good laugh, a great read, and implausible but completely engaging characters.

From Kirkus Reviews

"A captivating adventure jammed with characters who, though troubled, try to do the right thing."
