The U. S. President has asked Pastor/Doctor William Barnett to give up his church and work with the president in his administration. DanJaroc and his lieutenant, ThomLaroc shot up Pastor Barnett's church trying to kill Barnett because he wouldn't agree to lead his congregation to accept the Middle Eastern religion, the Nicolaian Way. Barnett was only wounded in the shoulder while a young boy was killed and Billy Moses Baxter, Jr. (Billy J) was shot in the face. Amazingly, shooting up the church caused as much, if not more, trouble for DanJaroc and ThomLaroc than it did for Barnett and his congregation. How can anyone deal with people such as DanJaroc and ThomLaroc? Together, they have helped to build a seditious army of Nicolaians within the United States. The trouble is there are so many of them and most of them are US Citizens, that is, homeland terrorists, flying under our nation's radar. Their goal is to destroy our beloved country and our freedom in favor of the Middle Eastern religious lifestyle. How about the Baxters? Will Billy J recover and, if so, will he ever be the same again having been accidentally shot by a Nicolaian? (ThomLaroc) Racial difficulties already existed in the United States, but now race relations have been so stirred up and so much hate has been created that it's beginning to look more like the years right after slavery all over again. What can Rhett McDonough, Butch Gorden and the Ralanta Police Department do to track down the Nicolaians and unearth who they are and what their vulnerable areas are before they destroy us from within? Will the president, the FBI and all of our nation's police agencies be able to stop these home grown terrorists before they make final connection with other Middle Eastern entities?

The President of the United States is involved with running the country and has little time for anything else; however, it has come to his attention that an inordinate amount of killings via the throat slash has taken place. Consequently, he has decided to start asking questions before the press is all over him about it. Little does he know what he's about to get into. There also seems to be an awful lot of racial activity going on in the U. S. The President has his own agenda and doesn't want to get embroiled in other things that will take up too much of his time. He's in his second term and knows it's just a matter of time before he becomes a "lame duck" president with little opportunity to get the promises accomplished that he made during his second term campaign. If he only knew what was ahead of him, he would probably flee the country without a backward glance.

What ever you do, you won't want to miss Vivid Hues III, the third book of this exciting series. No one is safe as this Middle Eastern entity works hard at destroying the United States from within. Billy J is finally out of danger as far as life and death issues are concerned. Now it's time to get on with his facial reconstruction, and that's far from a sure thing. Doctor Jamerson has been recommended by Doctor Joseph as the reconstruction surgeon for Billy J.

Rhett McDonough and Butch Gorden come up with some important information about the Nicolaians and their plans. Because of the nature of racial difficulties associated with the plans of the Nicolaians, Rhett and Butch have a falling out.

Little B B nearly gets himself killed and throws a wrench in the Nicolaian plans which leads him and DanJaroc to make a trip to the Middle East and Maldaisa to meet with the King of Maldaisa, the Maldaision. But, before they leave the United States, Dan decides to visit Rylene Waters. Rylene is not happy when she sees DanJaroc at her front door

Vivid Hues is a book about human races. The title is from a speach given by Ronald Reagan, ...when speaking, " Paint in Vivid Hues, not in pale pastels." In other words speak clearly. Speaking clearly isn't what my book is about, but Vivid Hues so well fits my subject matter that I couldn't pass up using it.
