Dear Gentle Readers,
While browsing at one of our local libraries, I was thrilled to find a sci-fi book by Gillian Anderson. Being an X Files fan, I scooped it up and have just begun reading it.
So far, a child of a diplomat is having nasty nightmares and violent visions and is sent to see a famed New York child psychiatrist Caitlin O'Hare. Soon Caitlin discovers it is not this ONE child of a diplomat who is having problems, but a few. As she tries to understand these events, she realizes these incidents are connected.
it is a well-written, fast paced story with enough science, sci-fi, religion, and reality to make an X Files episode. AND it's supposed to be a series. Woohoo!
I love Gillian Anderson. She is talented and beautiful and I always imagined her as medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta if Patricia Cornwell ever decided to make her wonderful books into movies.
Have a great day,
Hugs,
Carol
