Near Sighted – A Jake Townsend Thriller

Readers captivated by Near Death will eagerly devour Near Sighted, the much anticipated second book in Richard C. Hale’s riveting thriller series.

Near Sighted continues the story of Jake Townsend and his mind reading technology as he attempts to find equilibrium between what he should and should not do with the knowledge.

Jake feels his life has moved on, but when his dreams return and he sees a glimpse into his future, he discovers that the nightmare has only begun.

Somewhere, someone has stolen his secrets. And as he learns of their evil purpose, he must find a way to stop them. Or risk losing everything he holds dear.

Once again, the fate of the human race hangs in the balance and Jake holds the key.

But will he have the courage to use it?

Interview With The Author

Q – The premise for the NEAR DEATH series is a little unusual. How did you come up with the idea?

A – I was perusing the Web, jumping from one link to another, when I landed on a page that had actual Near Death Experiences recounted by the people who experienced them. Very fascinating reading. I didn’t really think much more about it at that time and moved on after a little time there.

About 2 days later, I was watching a show on real mind reading technology using M.R.I. medical equipment and a rudimentary set of words. Then “Click.” My brain made a connection and the story was born.

Q – So, this technology exists?

A – Not as sophisticated a system as Jake Townsend’s machine. But there have been some advances in the interpretation of electrical impulses emitted by the brain. I expect cell phones, cars, TVs, etc. will be able to “read” our minds in the very near future. Scary and cool.

Q – Is this considered a paranormal book?

A – It kind of blurs the lines. Which in some folks’ opinions is not a favorable thing to do for an author’s career. It has a little paranormal, a little creepiness, science fiction, action, and thriller all rolled into one fun package.

I love all those genres, so why not write what I love? It worked for me and I know it appeals to others as well.

Thank you for reading!

A must read after Near Death!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is book 2 of the Near Death series. I love this author's writing style which flows with engaging dialogue. He is very successful at keeping the reader interested by skillfully ending each chapter with a gripping sentence. This gripping sentence peaks and fuels the reader's interest and compels he/she to quickly turn the pages. The premise of this series is NDE (near death experiences). The author shows his in depth research in NDE as he takes the reader through different types of these experiences and how the characters deal with and handle the problems they encounter. I was frightened by the possibilities and repercussions of dealing with the unknown. This is a must read for anyone who ever had a NDE or knows someone who did or is just curious. Be prepared to be creeped out. This is in the genre of Stephen King or Dean Koontz.

Wow!!! Thrilling science fiction, near death experience novel!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

Mr. Hale has done another fantastic and wonderful job of writing a very awesome novel which keeps the reader spellbound throughout the entire book. What I like most is that the reader can just jump into this book, not knowing that this is the second in a series. This is a key to being a fantastic author because sometimes I don't read the books in order. He continues Jake Townsend's life, family and friends through life and introduces such villiany you've never imagined! I can't wait to see if there's a third book in this series!!

I purchased this book after reading the first "Near death", which I liked so obviously I "had" to read book 2. Character development is quite good. Richard Hale has a way of making the reader very comfortable with the characters by having you envision the scenes in your mind as if you were there. A good read that will keep you interested as you turn the pages.

I really enjoyed this book, just as much as the first one! I love Jake and Maddy. I still wanted more at the end of the book, but could find no reference to another book. It would be nice to have one to tie it all up with the happy-ever-after, but then, I am that kind of a woman, who always wants it, whether I get it or not!

Another good story by Richard Hale for those who believe in a real afterlife

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

Now the question is, what's next in the Jake household? Or are we left to imagine is there truly a place for evil and good to live separately in an afterlife waiting for a portal to open to allow one more talk with a loved one or kill the person who killed you?

Near Sighted Book #2 Review

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

Another great book in Mr. Hale's Near Death series. It didn't hold my attention quite so much as book #1, but was still worth the time to stay with the story. Anxiously awaiting book #3 from Mr. Hale in this series.

Exciting adventure!

A great book with an exciting action adventure aspect to the science of time travel, near death experiences (NDEs) and the afterlife.
A great sequel, with even more thrilling action than the first in the series, keeping me reading non-stop it was so good, and a truly beautiful ending that nearly made me cry!
