Product Description
Under the direct orders of an anonymous U.S. Congressman and the former Director of Intelligence, Jack Kurts heads up a covert organization know as the AFA. Built based on vicious legislative rumors concerning advances toward a tentative New World Order, the agency's purpose comprised of gathering information against a government on the verge of corruption - the United States. In a run down portion of a moderate East Coast community, Adrian Jacobs, owner of a computer sales and repair shop, hacks his way into a government computer program called "The Watchful Eye." Less than two hours later, he's never to be seen or heard from again. On the sixth floor of a Los Angeles hospital Dr. Evans injects innocent newborns with an experimental inoculation created by the U.S. Government. At the same hospital Sharon Andrews is admitted after a violent attack on Venice Beach. Weeks later she begins to experience mysterious spells of amnesia. Questions about her condition remain unanswered upon a brief encounter with the assisting surgeon who quickly flees the scene. Working for his country, gathering intelligence pertaining to the actions of the United States Government, Jack Kurts stumbles across a computer program called The Watchful Eye. While working to unravel this strange new program and reveal its origin, Kurts is unknowingly forced into making decisions that will change his life forever. Pulled under reign of the program and its creators, Jack finds himself trapped between the woman he's falling in love with and the millions of people he was sworn to protect. Forced to betray his morals Jack has been given only one option - comply or die!

4.0 out of 5 stars Creighton - Look to your Laurels!, January 10, 2004
By Ruth Gauthier (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Watchful Eye (Hardcover)
I read this book right after I read PREY by Michael Creighton. I found it to be just as gripping.
I was hooked from the first few pages and was riveted by the highly original descriptive passages. I usually skip over that stuff but the writing was so unusual and thought provoking that I slowed down to drink it all in. The charachters were really believable and the action intense. I also liked the ideas - biotechnology combined with space - really unique. I understand this is the author's debut - he shows great promise. I look forward to his next book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Raises the bar for the "On the brink of disaster" genre., November 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Watchful Eye (Hardcover)
I understand that "Watchful Eye" is this author's first novel, and it is impressive. This book begins fast, and ends faster. Few authors, in my opinion, have the ability to take the characters and the reader down unimaginable paths until there appears to be little or no hope; and then deftly throw out a unique, but ever important life line with digital timing.
Wess Reed apparently has this talent, and for this reason I will be looking forward to his next accomplishment.
