Then imagine an unexpected visitor to the ranch that surprises Ezra with a demand for him to leave the ranch immediately and fly across country to clandestinely meet the President of the USA. A secret meeting. A meeting that can not be talked about.
Let your imagination sweep over all sorts of strange happenings beginning to impact the moments, days, and nights of this aged rancher. And then try to imagine just who the "Blue Man" is and how he fits into this unexpected turn of events in which Ezra Riley finds himself embroiled.
I was pleasantly surprised at the writing of John L. Moore and the serious nature of the book, the entertaining interaction between rancher and animals, the premise of scientific and psychic experiments of the CIA. I loved the humorous interchanges between Ezra and his good friend "Barn Wall."
This was a good, clean book to read, entertaining, surprising, and fun. Quite a mix of words that brought joy to the reading. This is one that men and women with both enjoy.
About the book: Ezra Riley is a hardened Montana cowboy who prefers the hills, cattle, and horses to cities, but his unique gift for dream interpretation has him secretly taken to the White House where the President is suffering from recurring nightmares. Riley's encounter with the President launches a series of attacks by the man behind the nightmares, William Anderson Hall, an elderly master spy and a pioneer in the CIA's experiments with psychic powers and hallucinogens. In his remote Virginia compound, Hall has invested 30 years and millions of dollars in creating Blue Man, the ultimate psychic warrior.
Riley's life is soon complicated by Davis Browne, a former agent with the Department of Homeland Security, and Hall's two nieces, Isabel Elizabeth Hall and Mary Margaret Hall. Riley's rough ride is balanced by his cowboy friend, the cartoonist Barney Wallace, whose loyalty follows Riley to the climactic end and the revelation of the content of the President's dream.
