Shane Folsom is a Major League pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. He
is the best athlete ever to play the game and in four years has
broken most pitching and batting records. He is one of nine
extraordinary athletes from various sports who have suddenly come
to the attention of the whole world, not only because of their
unusual talent, but because they all came along at roughly the same
time. When one of these talented athletes dies suddenly, it is a
tragedy. But when another dies and then another, each apparently by
accident, Shane's suspicion is awakened and he sets forth to
discover how and why his counterparts have met death. As the
mystery unfolds, he discovers who he and the other athletes really
are and why their lives are in danger. The clock is ticking as he
rushes to uncover the nature and identity of a killer before he
falls victim to an insidious and murderous plan.
As adolescents, Cyrus and Cecil Bowman are not only brothers,
they're best friends. Their lives seem adventurous, but ordinary,
until Cyrus develops an unusual configuration of blood vessels in
his brain. This condition, among other things, causes people in his
direct vicinity to experience very vivid hallucinations. Doctors
are able to correct the condition, but nature sees fit to endow
Cyrus with replacement gifts; namely, an unusual artistic talent
and a propensity to play practical jokes. By the time Cyrus
completes college, he has found love and has left the memory of his
earlier medical problems in the distant past. His talents and
relationships promise a bright future until his earlier medical
problems suddenly recur, only this time the effects on those around
him have grown in number and in magnitude. As seen through the eyes
of his brother Cecil, Sphere Of Effect follows the experiences of
Cyrus Bowman whose life becomes highly complex because of
circumstances far beyond his control. He employs the talents within
his command - artistry and humor - to overcome disastrous events in
his life and in the lives of those he loves. Just when it seems
that quick thinking and tenacity will allow Cyrus to put his life
back on track, his brother Cecil discovers that all is not as it
seems. There might be one more really big problem to solve.
Many individuals living on earth possess magnificent talents and
abilities that can serve to enrich their own lives and the lives of
others. Sometimes, one of these gifted individuals will misuse or
squander his talents in meaningless or destructive behavior, and a
Warhost will be sent in an attempt to help set matters right. Not
quite an angel, but nevertheless immortal, the Warhost may choose
to set a curse upon the misguided individual. This curse will help
the mortal come to appreciate his talents and worth...and it may
help the mortal work toward making the proper choices in correcting
the trajectory of his life. But what happens when a Warhost
intentionally makes a decision with potentially tragic
implications? Titus is a Warhost who begins to wonder why
miscreants often reap the riches and abundance of the world, when
at the same time those with pure motives and righteous desires are
often found with a millstone of poverty and suffering hung about
their necks. It is the contemplation of this cosmic unfairness that
leads Titus to make a mistake that will result in consequences that
could last forever. The Warhost allows readers to follow the saga
of Titus as he learns what it means to be at the peak of supreme
happiness and in the deepest chasm of despair. In a fast-paced
series of events, he discovers some of the answers to the enigmas
of life. Ultimately, he must make a monumental decision, the
consequences of which will once again ripple across the ages of
time.
