The screams of the children were swallowed by the double report of both handguns going off at once.
Ben felt a burning pain in his side. He swayed on his feet. Dropped his gun, put his hand to his shirt and looked at his bloody fingers.
Holzmann smiled.
And his eyes rolled back, his knees buckled under him and he fell dead.
Ben staggered, then righted himself as the children came running and crowded around him. He picked Carl up in his arms. The boy opened his eyes and looked up at him in drowsy recognition.
‘Now you’re going home,’ Ben said.
Author’s Note
THE BACKGROUND OF this story is not quite the bizarre figment of my imagination you may think it is. While the Indigo Project is (I hope) an entirely fictitious creation, the real-life phenomenon of remote viewing has been well documented and intensively researched for many years. The Stargate Project really did exist, and Joseph McMoneagle and Pat Price really were alleged to have carried out the apparently inexplicable acts of psychic espionage briefly described in Bring Him Back. Notable figures from this strange and fascinating world not named in the story, but not to be skipped over, include former Stargate remote viewer Lyn Buchanan and Colonel John Alexander, formerly of the Advanced Systems Concepts Office, US Army Lab Command.
Many of the people who pioneered this psychic research are still alive today, and readers interested in finding out more about them are encouraged to do a little research of their own. You can even find the CIA’s own ‘Firedocs’ remote viewing manual online. It opened my eyes – it might open some other people’s, too!
I hope you enjoyed Bring Him Back. Ben Hope will return for more adventures soon.
