Description
An exciting historical twist involving the assassination of JFK and the power struggle of the super powers. Stray Dog is a story linking the after life and the living, the thinkable with the unthinkable.
Outwardly, Rudy Metthewson is an ordinary British school kid, but he has been blessed with remarkable powers. He can move physical objects by telekinesis; he can compel people to perform actions against their will; he can read their minds. But Rudy also has strange dreams, and just when he begins to control his gifts it becomes apparent he is being stalked. Others have designs on Rudy, for political ends, and he and his mother, Helen, are soon involved in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with more than one ruthless enemy.
Meanwhile, on another continent, Aleksei Rudikov, imprisoned for desertion, becomes the subject of prolonged experimentation in an attempt to develop and exploit his own extraordinary psychic abilities - again, for political ends. But Aleksei escapes and crosses into the West. Is fate bringing these two fugitives together? If so, what will happen when they meet? What thread of destiny connects Rudy and Aleksei?
The major powers are determined to control either or both of them. Their tangled web of intrigue spreads over three continents and, as the threads unravel, it is uncertain who will win the prize - and the game proves more dangerous than any of the players could have predicted.
