Sinopse

From the author who brought us the distinguished spy thriller Death of a Marionette and The Towering Inferno, one of the most popular films of the '70s, comes Waiting, an intense novel of contemporary menace, in the mode of Robinson's 1950s classic, The Power. There are people living among us, who look just like normal human beings. They've been here for a long time--waiting. But they aren't exactly like us at all. Some of them can read minds, and in subtle ways take over what your are thinking, control you for a while.They can make you love. They can make you die.One ordinary man in San Francisco, Arthur Banks, begins to find them out, and immediately his life and his family are in danger. It's a paranoid's worst nightmare. But that's just where it starts. He may well be fighting for the survival of the entire human race."I've always maintained that Frank M. Robinson's The Power was one of the best terror tales ever told. Waiting is even better, rich with character, suspense and constant surprise. This is one of the best chillers of the entire decade. It is guaranteed to give you nightmares. Reading this book was a pure pleasure."--Mystery SceneAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    KELLAN OAKES is a private investigator just trying to make it through each day, working enough cases to keep his agency afloat. It pays the bills, barely, but beats having a real job. 
    KELLAN OAKES is a man who has spent time in two different worlds, and knows just enough about both to be helpful, or dangerous, depending on which side he’s on. 
    KELLAN OAKES is the son of Foltchain of the Oak, an immortal druid priestess revered throughout the mystical realm known as the Deep Woods. 
    And Foltchain of the Oak is missing. 
    The timing is bad, as his college buddy Juvie has just arrived in town to ensure Kellan enjoys a long-overdue vacation, while Phoebe, a hamadryad and childhood friend who now works as the receptionist for Kellan Oakes Investigations, needs help that only Foltchain can provide.  
    As the three of them work together to locate Kellan’s mother, they must also unravel the true nature of the Deep Woods’ new affliction and its connection to Foltchain’s absence.  
    The fates of at least two worlds, and countless lives, hang in the balance …
