Synopsis
From the Moment of Impact
This is the real life drama centering on the author’s son David, struck by a car in Frankfurt in 1989. Six years old at the time, David spent weeks in a coma, and the accident would leave him with a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. Scott narrates this father and son odyssey, and David even contributes with his own words. David’s story is written for the benefit of the millions of individuals and their families that are suffering from traumatic brain injuries.
Synopsis
Blind Guides - An international thriller published in 2003
The year is 2013. Due to the influence of terrorism, religious fundamentalism in America has greatly influenced the political and cultural climate of the western world. Laws have been enacted to reestablish America as a God-fearing nation. Basic civilian rights have been restricted, and freedom of speech and artistic expression is being suppressed.
In this setting, Stace Manning, a photographer with a taste for the erotic, is prevented from exhibiting his work at a conservative religious university, and blames Rick Forstein for the injustice. Although Stace would avenge this injustice, he travels to Frankfurt, Germany, to rekindle a passion for his craft. In Frankfurt, he meets and falls in love with a reporter, Eva Burtman. She's in the midst of an investigation to prevent a psychological computer virus from being unleashed on the Internet. Through a twist of fate, her investigation leads her to conclude that her lover, Stace, is linked to the creator of the virus, Rick Forstein. In order for Stace to prove his innocence to Eva, he must find and confront Rick, his nemesis from the past.
REVIEWS:
"Blind Guides is a book built on an excellent, plausible, and thought-provoking premise. It also manages to be a quick, entertaining read that packs more intellectual girth than most contemporary novels. It has obvious and relevant political implications. Armed with such a premise, the book has the potential to be an intellectual tour de force, capable of mixing philosophical elements adroitly along with the engaging action. . . A stronger and better book than most being published today. . . better written and more substantial than most books that are released today." -VOODOOLORD7 850+ Book Reviews
"The controversy of religiously based politics is the premise of Scott Stahlecker's new thriller, Blind Guides. His futuristic prediction pits the minority fundamentalists against the rest of American society in a tale that shows how politics would be enacted with the profound influences of religion. Bigotry prevails and suppression of free speech and basic human rights becomes commonplace. Also throughout the novel is the allusion that Stahlecker's extrapolation is not too far from the truth. Overall, a fascinating and well-told story that, while placed in the future, asks us to assess our current political climate." -
CASCADE DISCOVERY REVIEWS
"A good, solid read. There is a little something of everything in the thriller that is "Blind Guides." Romance, action, intrigue, and religion—all of these themes intertwine to make the story an interesting read." -JEFF LEACH Top 50 Amazon Book Reviewer
