Spirits

What if a you had the power to read and influence other people's minds? Would you hate this power if you had to do certain things to acquire it? What would you be willing to do? How far would you go?

Spirits is a compelling novel about a man with psychic abilities that have been enhanced by the government. Over time Sean's gift has become a curse due to a combination of the constant barrage of telepathically hearing the multitude of people around him every day and the horrific things his government requests of him.

The novel begins with Sean's profound struggle with alcoholism and regrets for the things he has done. He is contacted by a group who inform him that they need his help to fight a coming evil, a rogue agent with his same powers who is not afraid to use them to create his own army of mind slaves.

Sean acquires other allies along the way, including a ghost and a coven of witches. But it all depends on whether he can hold it together long enough to save the world.
