Mark Montgomery’s debut book offers the reader a taut thriller brimming with action and suspense. The protagonist, Neal - a man with a checkered past, is running from a deal gone bad and after being struck by lightning, finds himself involved with Jed, an abandoned autistic boy who has a magical, and dangerous, perception of electricity. Their journey takes them to the isolated ranch of Simone, a determined young woman intent on completing a monumental work of land art. When Neal’s pursuers show up, the three must flee and unite for survival. Their odyssey takes them through the rugged grandeur and tempestuous weather of New Mexico, where they encounter a variety of characters, both chilling and endearing, that you’ll never forget. The prose soars, as authentic as the landscape, filled with vivid images, high-charged action, and an unfolding love story that will capture your heart. This novel is a great testament to second chances, finding family, and healing afflictions through the power of love.
