The Mindbender
FBI Agent Peter Anderson arrives at a secret military installation to help break Max Pollack, a Navy SEAL believed to have mind control powers.
Consumed by paranoia, having no one to trust, Peter has trouble telling which thoughts are his own and which have been planted by the mindbender.
All bets are off when the Secretary of Defense is suspected to have been influenced by Pollack.
With the world's fate in the balance, Peter and his colleagues discover that they may be on the wrong side.
Tensions are high as they struggle to figure out whether or not they are being manipulated by the mindbender.
Who are Max Pollack's masters and what are their plans?
The frightening thing is, even the mindbender might not know the answers.

I just can't continue with this book. It sounded so interesting but the dialogue is clunky and unengaging, the characters are so 1 dimensional that I kept forgetting who is who, there's very little description/narration and an awful lot of standing around just talking for a suspense thriller and I just find myself bored to tears while trying to read this. This is a DNF for me, sadly.

The Government has captured a man who they think can read minds but none of the officers who have contact with him can be sure if their thoughts are their own or if the Mindbender has given them the idea. Rather fun read, everyone is paranoid!

This is the longest book that I have ever read. There are 74 chapters.
A lot of wheeling and dealing and you do not know exactly what is going on.
It did keep my attention and I wanted to see if what I figured out was right.

Starts off on a decent footing, but ultimately rambles on too much. One day the Mindbender is saying nothing, then it changes to acknowledgement of Prahumans - super humans who are working for the benefit of mankind. I was waiting for some increasing tension - but nothing. No action with exception of a CIA assassin - but that plot line is not developed as it could have been. Whole thing just falls flat in the end - bit like one of John Grisham's crap books - like The Chamber.
