About this book:
<i>In the suburbs of Washington a secret is lurking. Everyone notices that Sam Johanek, a weapons analyst with a top-secret clearance, is changing. He exhibits peculiar mood swings, weird food preferences and a bizarre case of amnesia. No one suspects that Sam is battling a recurring nightmare and a scary obsession with his Basenji dog. In fear for his well being, Sam's wife contacts an inexperienced psychologist. Series of events follow, that take the readers on a trip, from Egypt's Valley of the Kings to the jungles of Gabon, where hides the oldest secret of the ancient Egyptians. As time runs out for Sam, his fate rests in the hands of three people destined to uncover the 'The Basenji Revelation.' <br><br>Midwest Book Review calls this book "...an action packed thriller that will have readers white knuckled and holding their breath...try not to read it with the lights off...it gave me the shivers." </i>

Description:
Roy Connors, consultant for a top technology company and the quintessential pursuer of the American dream, through perseverance gains a unique mental disorder. When his only entrusted friend falls in love with a hot brunette, Roy’s already fragile life suddenly spirals out of control.

The fates of the three collide with the arrival of the deadliest hurricane in the islands’ history. Descent The R. Connors Story is a psychological suspense delivering a rare glimpse into the minds of identity-shattered individuals. Written in a vibrant style it reconciles misconceptions about self, sexual duality, and the mysterious raw forces of Nature.
