A deadly disease has begun to spread across the United States, one that causes
those who contract it to change. Those who have changed can communicate with
thoughts alone and have begun to band together to eliminate the 'threat' of
those who did not change. No one is safe, and the death tolls predicted are
astronomical. Civilization as we know it no longer will exist and kill or be
killed will become the only way to survive.
There is hope... The Chosen One is out there and is being directed where they
must go to save those who can survive. Making sure that this Chosen One survives
becomes the mission for an unlikely group of allies. From different parts of the
country, different walks of life ...even different species, this group will
travel on a path towards each other. A path, which will be filled with many
deadly and seemingly unsurpassable obstacles to find The Chosen One, they must
protect, even at the cost of their own lives.

Bill- who after recovering from a mysterious illness returns to work to discover
his
co-workers silently plotting against him and he can hear their thoughts.

Tony- who thinks her boyfriend Bill may be losing it until she realizes she has
a new power of her own and a higher purpose as well.

Ben- who watches a coworker self-destruct and returns to his family to realize
they are all at risk from those who speak in thoughts.

Joe - a loner who hears the call and sets out to follow his destiny only to meet
up with the most unlikely of fellow travelers.

Tammy- the child who has learned more in her eleven short years then any child
should ever face.

Stalker- the beast, hideous to behold yet so much more than meets the eye.

Ross- part of a mysterious government project, he alone can meld with the AI who
has become real to him.

Rita- more than machine but now inside her world another has entered and a
battle will begin.

The Chosen One and others chosen to protect are rushing towards their destiny on
a winding path filled with danger, death, and miraculous possibilities.

WOW! I received this book to review knowing absolutely nothing about it ahead
of time, not even the genre. To my surprise and delight, this turned out to be
right up my alley, and a truly great read for me. While THE CHOSEN ONE is listed
as horror, I would add that it is so much more. This story brought to mind works
by author Dean Koontz, where there is horror but it is blended seamlessly with
paranormal, suspense, mystery, and even love.

This book has all those elements as well. The cast of characters is quite
large
but easy to follow and each one is interesting and intriguing. I fell in love
with Stalker a creature with more humanity than most people ever show. This was
one of those books that sweeps you up and carries you along for the ride, one
you hate to see end.

At 400 pages, it is a long read and yet the pages flew by. I loved this book,
perhaps the only fault I can find is in the cliffhanger ending which can be like
torture for me as I wait and wonder until the next installment finally is
released. Believe me KENNETH E. BAKER has a new fan now, one who like Stalker
will be watching from the shadows for his next work.
