Thirteen - a new 97,000 word supernatural thriller -- free until 2/10/12

[brianspringer13]

I've decided to take a break from straight crime thrillers and throw something new into the mix. This one is a supernatural thriller written more in a crime novel noirish style. Heres the blurb:

The Farm. A top-secret government compound tucked away in the Sierra Nevada mountains where scientists poke and prod those lucky enough to be born with mental abilities that far exceed those of normal human beings.

Inside the walls of The Farm resides Johnny Torrance, a ten-year-old boy with talents that actively frighten the men who run the compound. Not only can Johnny “see” the impossible via remote viewing, for years he’s had dreams that span the entirety of human history, dreams about a warrior of many faces, a man whose only consistent feature is the number thirteen tattooed on the back of his neck.

Scott Logan is a badass. A former black ops agent turned vigilante-for-hire, he does the dirty work that most people are unable or unwilling to do. When Logan is asked by an enigmatic old friend to rescue Johnny from The Farm, he accepts without hesitation, completely unaware that the tattoo on the back of his neck signifies far more than just the number thirteen.

Once united, Logan and Johnny must evade Logan’s former black ops team and a far more insidious enemy long enough to understand what they truly are; warriors beyond the boundaries of humanity, each with specific roles in the shadow war that dominates our world.

Combining the elements of a supernatural novel with the hardboiled style of a modern crime novel, Thirteen is more than just a thriller. It is an exploration of what it means to be human and the first stage of a journey that will bring our civilization face-to-face with Armageddon.

And here's the link: Thirteen

Again, it will be free until 2/10/12.

Thanks for the vine.
