About the Book

Controller Trilogy, Book 1. Once the mutation was recognized, nations raced to identify citizens that carried active copies of the two gene versions, spurring research to insert the genes in more of their populations. One in 10 million has either the aggressive or defensive gene version. Compeller or Immune. Compellers insert thoughts in the minds of Susceptibles if within 75 feet. Those people act on those as if they were theirs, and will do what they are commanded to do. Like soldiers and law officers, some Compellers defend their government leaders, others attack leaders of hostile governments. Immunes are not controllable, and sense thoughts sent to anyone nearby. They are the defenders of a nation's leaders and seek out the foes of their government.Sheldon Stiles is a powerful Controller, the first discovered, a man with two copies of the compel gene, and he's a psychopath. He can make anyone do anything, from robbery, murder, or suicide, and he wants money and power. One Immune stands in his way.Dan Grayson is the first double Immune, and he can sense Compeller thought transmissions and knows who sent them and precisely where they are. He's part of an agency defending US leaders from mind control, but Stiles is out to kill him, his family, and friends. It's personal and deadly.Amid their personal conflict, technology suddenly tips the scale from short-range mental warfare, with the development of amplifiers and transmitters. These allow mass Mind Control of populations of entire cities. Stiles steals the technology, and Grayson is out to stop him. No nation is safe if leaders can be forced to launch nuclear missiles, or armies of their citizen puppets riot, attacking the police and military, who then also join the chaos. The battle has gone global.Free will belongs to those that can take yours from you.
About the Author: I was born in 1942, so I'm an autumn rather than a spring chicken. I live outside of Tampa, FL with my fabulous wife Anita, and one remaining son in college, Montana. I have three older boys, Mark, Gary, and Anthony, who have married and presented us with terrific grandchildren. My early reading interests were arguably all sci-fi related, from Doctor Doolittle, Captain Marvel, to Superman. I then transitioned to "real" science fiction on black and white TV, such as Captain Video and Flash Gordon. I read hundreds of books by the science fiction greats growing up, and thousands of dual novel paperbacks and magazines. My education gravitated to science, starting out as a physics major and my depression era folks told me I'd never make a living as a theoretical physicist (probably right, and Cosmology wasn't a career field then), so I moved to Electronics Engineering. I did most of that in the aerospace field for MacDonnell Douglas Corp, in St. Louis, Mo. I worked on the F4 Phantom project, and briefly on Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL), before the fickle fates of government finance forced contract cancelations. I devoted (read: I was drafted into) two years' service for the US Army from 1965 to 1967. A great two years, and the Army, caring not a whit for my electronics background, offered this draftee a job as an Air Traffic Controller. Cool! After discharge I spent a short time back in aerospace before contract reductions laid me off, and was hired (1968), to work on the design of a neat heads-up fire control system for the Army's new Cheyenne Helicopter (to be a 270-knot hybrid fixed wing/rotorcraft). Never heard of it? The fickle fates of Army finance are why this time, plus Lockheed didn't keep the airframe part from crashing and burning at a crucial point in development. I taught Electronics for about 18 months (tight budget after the high pay) and decided to try my hand at actually supporting my family again. I hired on with the Federal Aviation Administration as an Air Traffic Controller in 1970. Thanks, Army! I spent forty years in federal service, deciding in 1979 to use my technical background to work on writing features for the software of the FAA's Terminal Automation Systems (for 28 of those 40 years). Retired, I now work as a contractor for the FAA, supporting a software feature I helped create. I finally decided to try my hand at writing what I love to read, Science Fiction. Thanks for reading my books. Steve Bennett
