When he first entered the room, he had a smile of complete confidence on his face. Leah melted as she stepped backwards, half-stumbling until she was sitting on the love seat. She still gripped Alexander’s book in her hands.

  “Ahh, Leah,” Joseph said, “you finally made it. I was wondering if you were every going to show up here.” He indicated to the book in her hand. “That’s a great book. You should read it.”

  He pushed the door closed behind him, and as he did, Leah felt her stomach turn and the fight-or-flight response began to take hold of her. She blinked her eyes and looked around the room. The door behind Joseph was the only way out.

  Joseph nodded his head at her, as if he were reading her mind. “You probably think that I squealed on you to the silo. I didn’t. That was your mother. We’re on the same team. Anyway, welcome to Samizdat!”

  “A compelling story that is beautifully written. Each sentence simply melts into the next. Michael Bunker has a gift for awakening the imagination. …”

  “You can't go wrong when you have fiction with excitement for the brain AND heart. Combine that with the lurking knowledge that many elements of this story could be off the fiction backburner and onto full heat reality very soon, and, well, it all adds up to one I could not put down.”

  “Characters that engage you and that you'll care about... Check. Believable dialog ... Check. Story that will have you guessing ... Check. Romance... Check. Agents... Check. Double-agents … Check. Triple-agents ... Check. Great stuff ... thank you, Mr. Bunker.”

  “ … Michael Bunker draws you in with his beautiful imagery and storytelling. I have a feeling I'll be following this author for some time!”

  “The twists and turns keep coming. This is an excellent read. And the kindle version is so inexpensive that you would be foolish not to read it.”

  “…Michael Bunker weaves a wonderful story, building the characters and plot along the way in a way that will make you stop and think. This book will leave you breathlessly wanting more. … what are you waiting for? Get reading.”

  “ … Entertaining and thought-provoking. Can't wait to get my hard copy because you never know if the power will go out.”

  “…I literally read it in one sitting because I could NOT PUT IT DOWN. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I simply cannot WAIT for the next volume in the series. Each one gets better - but if they can top this I may never sleep again. It is that good - honestly.
