Imagine being travel-phobic, almost unable to get onto an Amtrak train, and suddenly you’re the only human able to prevent a bomb from being exploded by a terrorist standing two feet away! Can you stop him or will you freeze as you did boarding the train?
And then what if the FBI suspects you’re one of the terrorists, forcing you to remain involved in what terrifies you, to search out that missing man who can both exonerate you and reveal the real mystery – a person whom the authorities don’t believe even exists.
You’ve tried to hide your fearful self your whole life. And whom do you meet in the middle of this humiliating crisis – the women of your dreams. Don Fenn explores the horror of an ordinary person whose deepest fears, and his shame of them are laid bare, challenged beyond his wildest imagination. Fenn reveals the multi-layered complexity of this awesome emotion in all of its dimensions, in both terror and in love. In such hazard can love even happen, let alone flourish or survive?
Damian Waverly is an insurance salesman, a seller of security who can’t even arrange his own. He meets Rachel Brooks, a psychotherapist who struggles with grief over the death of a very special person. Yet she brings Damian recognition, kindness and understanding. But can he share his shameful fears with someone else for the first time in his life? And can she tolerate in her condition the wild uncontrolled experiences of his dangerous adventure to clear his name? Will she be able to accept and understand the bizarre extents to which he goes both to hold onto her and to remove a death sentence from his own life?
This romantic thriller follows the path of the Amtrak train between Denver, Colorado and the Bay Area, California where both protagonists live and work. It partakes of the threat of terrorist attack, exploring the motives of terrorists from other countries as well as those who have grown up as Americans.
But most of all it reveals the ways in which fear undermines the integrity of ordinary people required by life to do extraordinary things.
