Alex

Book Description

With a masterful hand, suspense newcomer Adam J Nicolai paints a picture of grief, madness, and the furious strength of a father's love for his son.

For six months, Ian Colmes has mourned the death of his son, Alex. Feeling that moving on with his life would be a fundamental betrayal of his lost child, Ian turns his back on everything to be alone with his pain. His performance at work collapses; his wife leaves him.

Just when Ian begins to gather up the shattered pieces of his life, he sees his son again. The boy is doomed to repeat things he said in life, acting out scenes from a play long since ended. He is laughing and playful one night, distraught and accusing the next. But is he a shade, come to impart some vital clue about his death? Or is he a figment of Ian's grief, bent on keeping him hostage to his guilt?

As Ian struggles with these questions, Alex grows ever more insistent, ultimately forcing Ian into a life-and-death choice that will culminate in his personal redemption - or destruction.

I LOVE "Alex"!


5 Stars+
What a powerful impact this book possesses! From the first sentence, I found myself wrapped in a smooth prose flow, and before I knew it, I was stunned and captivated. I did not want any distractions while I read! Mr. Nicolai is a very accomplished author, enticing the readers and carrying us along throughout the story. I truly felt an observer, watching over the protagonist’s shoulder, a witness, but also a participant, experiencing his grief, his sadness, his delight, his joy, and his terror. That is a rare experience, and requires writing ability that is not all that common. I’ve determined to reread this novel again, maybe more than once.

Ian and Alina Colmes lived a peaceful and placid life, interspersed with moments of joy, until the disappearance of their five-year-old son, Alex. Apparently abducted while at a day care provider, the worst imaginable occurred and Alex’s corpse was later located. But for Ian, Alex has never really gone away. He refuses to seek counseling, his wife has moved out, and his job is endangered because he cannot focus on it. Worse yet, after six months Ian begins to both see and hear Alex, not just echoes of memory, not just corner-of-the-eye glimpses, but incidents that are nearly interactive: Alex acts, speaks, emotes-and it doesn’t just occur at home, in Alex’s room, either. Something is definitely happening, and the question is whether Ian is suffering a breakdown-or Alex is actually returning-and as Ian is the only one experiencing sightings, he has no one to ask “What’s going on here?”

Occasionally I find a book that leaves me speechless, hunting for the right descriptive words, and that makes me wish I could give more than 5 Stars. “Alex” by Adam J. Nicolai is just such a book.
