Description
THE EIGHT has been rewritten and you can now acquire the new and improved version in both print and Kindle. Now we take you back to your book description already in progress:
Let your imagination roam. Imagine THE STAND hooks up with HEROES and has a torrid one night affair, and a baby results from their brief encounter. The baby is THE EIGHT, a thriller set in the future.
A devastating plague has hit the United States. Eight people, who've all survived the plague and emerged with mysterious Gifts, are crucial to The Coming Together. Without them, The Coming Together can't happen.
Using his own powerful Gifts, the Rumpled Man draws these eight people to Montana, guiding the survivors from afar on their arduous journey. They gather in Edmond, Oklahoma, where the group begins a long and dangerous trek to the Bear Paw Mountains. Strange and baffling Gifts begin to Manifest in each of them during the trip. As they cope with these physical changes, they also change emotionally, bonding together and becoming The Eight, an unbreakable unit.
The group consists of Chad Allen, a quiet family man and his sweet, shy daughter, Jody, who at thirteen is poised on the cusp of growing up. Katie Jurenka, a writer who's retreated from the world to the tiny town of Flamingo, Florida; Bob Rodgers, a brusque doctor who's suffered the loss of his young wife, Robyn; Phil Gordon, a loner who prefers his own solitary pursuits to the company of others; Brian "Twofer" Duke, a legless man who is overly sensitive about his disability; Gary Norris, a self-centered man who bristles at authority, and Bonnie Ryan, a controlling woman who drove off her husband Ron with her manipulative ways.
The Eight is their story, the story of their single-minded determination to reach Montana. Along the way, they must deal with government agents Ashton and Carpenter, who are determined to capture them and place them in an internment camp; and a renegade group called The Doctors, who want to sterilize all survivors.
Add to that potent mix a woman President, Michele Byrd, who has revenge on her mind;Â Derek Hallenburg, an enigmatic man the group meets in a parallel world; the mysterious Agent Zero, who is connected to the origins of the plague and Stanley, a cat who's been "smartened up" by the disease and all the ingredients are in place for a memorable, touching and exciting tale.
