#BooksFromTheBacklog – Mindbenders by Ted Krever @Tedkrever

Posted on by

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks.

If you would like to join in, swing by Carole’s Random Life in Books.

This weeks book to share is Mindbenders by Ted Krever. I added this to my Goodreads TBR on 6.5.12.

GOODREADS BLURB

If you could hear the thoughts of every person for three blocks around–the regrets, rationalizations, commercial jingles, the lies that hide what they can’t bear to think—how could you ever trust anyone? And if you could make them believe anything you wanted, how could you ever trust yourself?

Max Renn is a legend of the Soviet mind control program, a genetic experiment, the product of three generations of psychics bred by the state for their power. Before his first mission, the Soviet Union collapses and he disappears.

We meet him twenty years later in the Everglades, keeping as far from people as he can get, until his best friend–his only friend–is murdered and he is forced to assemble a team of people like him to fight the international conspiracy behind the murder.

“A dead-on thriller for the decade . . . . I can’t imagine anyone reading this and not wanting more” — Thomas F. Monteleone, author of the NY Times bestseller The Blood of the Lamb and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing a Novel

“Ted Krever has been a writer to watch, now he’s a writer to read. Do not miss MINDBENDERS.” -F. Paul Wilson

“Ted Krever is a great storyteller but more importantly, the stories he creates and writes are ones that I want to read. In this ADD era, where even e-mails are considered too long, Ted’s work commands my attention. It is definitely worthy of yours, too.” -David Leaf, biographer and award-winner writer/director/producer of such films as ‘The Night James Brown Saved Boston,’ ‘The US Vs. John Lennon’ and ‘ BEAUTIFUL DREAMER: Brian Wilson and The Story of SMiLE.’ (less)

I love the subject matter and have read more than one book about mind control and government programs. Add in the Everglades and this one was a no brainer.

    • yep. i am trying to go through my tbr and what’s wild is….i have a bunch of books on my kindle that aren’t on it. i am trying to be less click happy with those freebies. LOL

  6. Susan Kay Quinn had a book where people could hear your thoughts – Mindjack. That was good, maybe this would be good too.

  8. There was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where she was infected with an aspect of a demon’s power in season three and it allowed her to hear the thoughts of everyone around her. At first it was kind of fun, but soon the noise grew to be too much and she could not function anymore because she could not tune anyone out. She had also overheard someone at school planning to kill students, so her friends had to find the killer while she was out of commission. Angel hunted down the demon and killed it, and they had to make a potion from it to cure Buffy. Zander ended up accidentally finding the killer, which Buffy saved a student from committing suicide on campus. The episode was supposed to air the week the Columbine happened, so it was pulled and shown months later.

    • wow…how interesting. yeah, hearing everybody at one time is like being in a bar with loud music and everyone talking at the top of their lungs…but we learn how to edit the content. LOL
