Child Finder: Revelation

Come with me on a journey. A journey were faith, love, reality, fantasy, and imagination array themselves like a rare planetary alignment. At the distant end of this stream of words is a revelation. No, it is not the kind of disclosure you have in mind. My revelation, or I should say, Colonel John Helmsley’s revelation, is about something else…something much more…well…you will just have to read it. It is beyond anything you can imagine, and it will cause you to reexamine your concept of life, the universe, and your faith.Along the way, enjoy the ride. Take pleasure in the thrills I have crafted throughout these pages. Air Force Special Agent Patrick O’Donnell faces the toughest mission of his career, and every time he turns a corner, something threatens his life or his plans. Can he rescue the Ambassador’s daughters (and just who are they, really)? Can he prevent a war from breaking out in the Far East? What is going on between the White House and the Vatican? That intrigue seems to permeate everything O’Donnell touches.Every word of Child Finder: Revelation is fiction. I promise. There will be some who will want to believe it is true, especially because of my background in the United States Air Force. Yes, I was in charge of all counterintelligence programs impacting space. Yes, I had a dog in the fight when anything entered or exited the Earth’s atmosphere. But that is all I’m saying about that. Helmsley’s revelation will give you pause and make you wonder if I am a whistleblower of some kind. I am not. Some will want to believe that the truth is in here. It is not. After all, it’s just fiction, right?
