BLUE MAN Book Review

 I received a free copy of the following book from New Growth Press and Jones Litary in exchange for an honest review. The thoughts and opinions are my own.

About the Book

Ezra Riley is a hardened Montana cowboy who prefers the hills, cattle, and horses to cities, but his unique gift for dream interpretation has him secretly taken to the White House where the President is suffering from recurring nightmares. Riley's encounter with the President launches a series of attacks by the man behind the nightmares, William Anderson Hall, an elderly master spy and a pioneer in the CIA's experiments with psychic powers and hallucinogens. In his remote Virginia compound, Hall has invested 30 years and millions of dollars in creating Blue Man, the ultimate psychic warrior.

Riley's life is soon complicated by Davis Browne, a former agent with the Department of Homeland Security, and Hall's two nieces, Isabel Elizabeth Hall and Mary Margaret Hall. Riley's rough ride is balanced by his cowboy friend, the cartoonist Barney Wallace, whose loyalty follows Riley to the climactic end and the revelation of the content of the President's dream.

Thoughts and Opinions

It's a fascinating story, intrigue, suspenseful with supernatural elements in the mix.  Not a dull moment from beginning to end.  Very well-written and the characters lively, relatable and genuine.  A story of spiritual warfare, where the battle is in the realm of dreams and of the mind, where evil seems to have the upper-hand.  Our main character, Ezra Riley, just a hard-working cowboy enjoying life on the peaceful hills of Montana, gets his world turned upside down when he is whisked away to interpret a dream for the president. 

The story really begins to take off once Riley is back home, believing he can reclaim his quiet life once again, however, that illusion is completely shattered by events that seem to spiral out of control. Unbeknownst to him, he has made a terrifying and powerful adversary, Blue Man, who has incredible psychic abilities which seem to be without boundaries, cold and calculating without restraint or hindrance, he is able to attack without mercy the minds of his victims through their dreams, evil. 

I absolutely enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.  I look forward to reading more of John Moor's novels.
