EVIL LIKE ME - Inspired by true events - Classified paranormal research and an inconceivable bid for global dominance become an electrifying struggle between world powers and one man. In 1970, the U.S. Government launches research into the feasibility of psychic-weaponry, based on growing intelligence reports on secret psychic-based military advances being made in the Soviet Union. After twenty-five years, the U.S. psychic-weaponry program was publicly abandoned and declassified. Some believed the program went underground. Several decades later, when unexplained brain lesions are the only link in a string of bizarre homicides in Memphis, Tennessee, covert government operatives arrive on the scene. Did they come to help local law enforcement, or did they come to contain a problem now out of control? Did the government come to Memphis to minimize the damage and keep their top secret program on track? Memphis Homicide Detective Tony Wilcox trusts nobody. He knows he must find Hunter Keller first, the only eyewitness to the murders and the man the government was determined to apprehend. When Wilcox and Memphis Chief Medical Examiner Victory Petty, MD, uncover shocking deceptions, it becomes their mission to avoid the government operatives and stop a monstrous threat. Can Wilcox and Petty find Hunter Keller in time? Does Keller hold the secret to the bizarre killings that go beyond Memphis, Tennessee? Or will a new weapon of mass destruction be unleashed upon the world?
This is my first time reading Mr. Bradshaw and you can bet I will be reading more of his work! The characters are believable and interesting. The plot gives a lot of food for thought about our current system. The quotes at the beginning of the chapters are relevant and very interesting. Thank you Mr. Bradshaw for sending me the free version so I could read and review I greatly appreciated the book and I cannot wait to read more.
Wow Steve Bradshaw does not disappoint again and also a big shout out to Stephen H Marsden for an excellent narration. This fact this is based on real events it terrifying. If people with these psychic abilities are able to do half of the things listed in this story we are in trouble. This is a fascinating and scary dark thriller which does not disappoint and is well worth a listen
The author's writing style is easy to read, but there were a few paragraphs that I found confusing (ie sentence structure and/or wording used). There were also minor grammatical errors throughout the story. If there had not been so many errors and those confusing paragraphs, I would have given this story four stars instead of three.
As always, when I read Bradshaw's books, I see them in black and white with splashes of red. Likable characters and a mystery that remains just beyond your fingertips but so close you can taste it will keep you reading straight through until the last page.
