Ambitious scientist George Nash and Luis Manteles, an Ecuadoran shaman, have finally created the technology to make humans and objects invisible, but their project gets out of hand when an experiment with Tyler and Logan Griffin, their first ever human test subjects, goes awry. Three years later, Logan, who escaped shortly after becoming invisible, sneaks into Nash's Florida compound to free her husband, whom Nash has confined in a glass house. With the help of her visible roommate, Logan shuts down the computer system-at the same time that the Townsends, a family of three, wander into the test site. Consequently, the Townsends, along with a super intelligent Labrador retriever, turn invisible. Now targets of an effort by the National Security Bureau (NSB) to capture them, family and dog are forced on the run. After a plethora of close calls, a killing and a miraculous healing, all characters converge in a heady conclusion that hinges on Nash. Will he end the project or hand the Griffins, the Townsends and his life's work over to the NSB? MacGregor's (The Other Extreme) pseudoscientific explanations of Nash's "shrouding" technology are beyond belief, but her characters are drawn convincingly. Despite the familiarity of the story line, readers will easily get caught up in the suspense of the chase.

This review is from: Out Of Sight (Tango Key Mysteries) (Paperback)

This book was an excellent adventurous read. Not since John Grisham's "The Firm" have I been unable to put down a book. I just had to find out what happened next. Keep up the good work! I plan on reading more works by the author.

I highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Captivating, October 29, 2002

This review is from: Out Of Sight (Tango Key Mysteries) (Paperback)

Out of sight can be summed up in sever single words such as Suspensful,Intriguing,Mystical,Humorus,Provoking and even Romantic. I couldn't put the book down. It was the first book I have read by T.J. MacGregor but it won't be the last. Never a dull moment. Never once did I have to force myself to turn the next page in hopes that the story would pick up. I read it in 2 days and I work full time and I am a full time single mom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be prepared! This book is a non-stop read!, January 5, 2003

This review is from: Out Of Sight (Tango Key Mysteries) (Paperback)

As hard as I try I can not remember a time in my life when I wasn't reading "something." I am one of those who is on a constant search for a "good read". My search led me to Out of Sight and T.J. MacGregor. Not this author's first book and I pray not her last. I couldn't put this book down - not even when I should have - like to feed my family or do laundry. Good thing I read fast! When I was done with this book I immediately looked up all the titles of others by her. I made my list and began my mission of having them all on my shelf. I have since read 4 more and am now on my fifth! From the first page to the last, not one has let me down. Her characters are so real, it makes me feel as if I have found new friends. I find myself laughing out loud, gripping my seat, wiping a tear, or holding my breath for what might happen next.
Keep them coming T.J. MacGregor!
