Product Description

The Truth Chasers Book Three

Someone’s trying to play God…
and he’s turning Palm Bay into hell.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement Agent Robbie Sanchez devotes her life to crime prevention, and it shows: She has no personal life and doesn’t know the meaning of a day off. After all, someone has to be around to clean up the mess crime leaves behind.

So when Officer Brad Worthington is brutally murdered, Agent Sanchez is called to the scene along with Brad’s best friend, Detective Eric Casey. The two turn to Lifetex, the genetics lab near the scene, hoping their elaborate security system might have captured the crime outside.

But what’s going on inside the lab is far worse: a renegade scientist is cloning humans! As Robbie and Eric pursue clues–and a growing attraction–they are caught in a deadly battle as the clones begin to act on their own volition…but this battle threatens to claim more than human life; the clones are vying for human souls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, August 23, 2007

By	Barbara Warren - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Dr. Benjamin Silverstein and Dr. Neal Meyer are working on a top-secret experiment: cloning the perfect man. Well, we all know there is no such thing, since perfection in people just doesn't exist in this world, but this time they believe success is within their grasp. Their new creation appears to be perfect physically and mentally, but man is a three-fold being; physical, mental, and spiritual, and only God can create a soul. They name their creation Adam, after the first man, and everything seems...well, perfect. Then strange things begin to happen and they suspect they must have been off in their calculations, because something is teribly wrong with their perfect man.
Robbie Sanchez is a good policewoman, and the word quit isn't in her vocabulary. When policeman Brad Worthington is brutally murdered, she and her partners are in charge of the case. But this time Robbie is up against something too horrible to imagine. A genetically enhanced clone bent on destroying Christians.
Mark Mynheir is a new writer for me and i'm delighted to have found him. His characters are so alive you can almost touch them, and he can't be beat for raw action and spine-tingling suspense. The Void is one of the most exciting books I've read this year. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something Overlooked, October 7, 2007

By	David Brollier "sonburst" (Huguenot, NY) - See all my reviews

THE VOID, by Mark Mynheir is just absolutely amazing. I'm trying to wrangle him in with the Christian Fiction Review Blog. This guy looks at scientific advances, takes it a few steps further, then shows a gross oversight that is already being made. With the cloning of the sheep in Scotland some years back all kinds of ethical and moral issues have arisen, and behind them laws to keep scientists in check. Do we really believe that a few laws by the U.S. and some international committee is going to stop someone from cloning the first human? Seems to me that a claim of that sort has already been made. What are the ramifications if we let it continue? THE VOID cuts through all the legal garbage and lets you see what happens when certain boundaries are crossed. This is a fantastic, suspenseful novel with twists and turns that leave you hoping there will be a "happy ending", or at least one that isn't catastrophic. The only problem I can see is how long will THE VOID be able to stay on the fiction market? I mean, we're there already, chomping at the bit that will take us to the netherworld.

5.0 out of 5 stars DON'T Avoid, "THE VOID!", August 22, 2007

By	Wolfe Moffat (Franklinville, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I still remember thinking that getting a book by Mark Mynheir would be taking a chance. But chance or no chance, I remember that I wanted to know what "Rolling Thunder" was all about. I also remember that it was one of my favorite reads for 2005! And quite frankly, I held it a little bit higher then the first book of Dean Koontz's, "Frankenstein." And I thought NOTHING was going to be better. Well, now book #3 in "The Truth Chasers" happens to be the final installment. And it has no catchy title. "The Void," and I kind of think, DUH! But then again, I thought the same thing about "The Taking," by Dean Koontz, and I loved it. Well, throw away the idea of a non-catchy title, because I loved this!

You've read about Tim Porter, and you've read about John Russell. Now is the time to check out Robbie Sanchez! The thing about Robbie, she never seems to know when to rest. Days off have no meaning to her. Other then taking care of her mother, she's a 24/7 type of gal. Busts her butt, as far as Law Enforcement goes. So what's she gonna do about a police officer that gets murdered? Robbie is in charge of this case, and you better get out of her way! And the team has Eric Casey, the fallen officer's former partner, as well as best friend. The only clue they can come up with is Lifetex lab. What is Lifetex, and will their questions be answered? The answer is so brutal, as well as entirely snake like, and this is to be approached with caution!

So, you thinking about giving this a try? I wouldn't advise avoiding, "The Void." Because if you're looking for a great, hair-raising story, with even better storytelling, look no further! Mark Mynheir is an author to look for in the future, and don't you doubt that for a second!
