REVIEWS:
"Blind Guides is a book built on an excellent, plausible, and thought-provoking premise. It also manages to be a quick, entertaining read that packs more intellectual girth than most contemporary novels. It has obvious and relevant political implications. Armed with such a premise, the book has the potential to be an intellectual tour de force, capable of mixing philosophical elements adroitly along with the engaging action. Stahlecker's style is crisp, easy-going, and readable; it flows well. Also, the novel's chronicling of the relationship between Stace and Eva is convincing and emotionally-engaging. A stronger and better book than most being published today. . . better written and more substantial than most books that are released today." -Amazon reviewer VoodooLord 7
The controversy of religiously based politics is the premise of Scott Stahlecker’s new thriller, Blind Guides. His futuristic prediction pits the minority fundamentalists against the rest of American society in a tale that shows how politics would be enacted with the profound influences of religion. Bigotry prevails and suppression of free speech and basic human rights becomes common place. Also throughout the novel is the allusion that Stahlecker’s extrapolation is not too far from the truth. Overall, a fascinating and well-told story that, while placed in the future, asks us to assess our current political climate. -Cascade Discovery Reviews
“A good, solid read. There is a little something of everything in the thriller that is "Blind Guides." Romance, action, intrigue, and religion—all of these themes intertwine to make the story an interesting read." -Amazon Reviewer Jeff Leach
AVAILABLE AT BARNES AND NOBLE, AMAZON, AND OTHER SITES!
CURRENTLY WRITING: From The Moment of Impact
From The Moment of Impact is a father and son odyssey and the real-life drama of a family raising a child with special needs. The story revolves around my own son, hit by a car while crossing a busy street in Frankfurt, Germany in 1986. It was important to David that I tell his story and we hope that it will be an inspiration for many. Chapters 1-3 are posted in my blog. If you have the time, read through them and tell us what you think. Tentative completion date is Spring 2009. Prospective agents and publishers may contact me by e-mail.
