Dichotomy

Book Cover & Preview Text
The almost gentle grasp of the hand, as it curved around to cup his chin, prevented his face from being forced into the musty loam of the forest floor. He felt a wave of fear as he caught, in the periphery of his vision, a glimpse of the smudged visage hovering above him, and he wondered, for one quick moment, how he could've missed seeing the figure leave the shepherd's hut. Not that it mattered anymore. Another hand cradled the back of his head, gave a short, swift twisting motion, and the muffled pop of his cervical spine cut short the exclamation forced from him by the sight of his killer's face. Whatever it was that he'd wanted to say died with him there... in the decaying remains of other lives.

About the Book
Inspired by the environment surrounding the Atomic Energy Reservation in Eastern Washington State, where I was employed for several years during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, and the recent (at that time) rumors that the United States Government was recruiting college students and training them as future agents, “Dichotomy” evolved as a possible blueprint for that scenario. It occurred to me, that if it could be done with college-age students, why not younger individuals? If the training could be effective for teenagers, why not even more effective for children? What would the limitations be, morally, ethically, and physically? The how, the why, and the impact of such an approach took on a life of their own and “Dichotomy” was born.
