Glimpses: Foresight is 20/20
Not yet published
Expected 18 Jun 26Foresight is 20/20. Survival is another matter.
Elias Thorne has a gift he never asked for.
Moments before he dies, he sees it coming. Every bullet. Every wrong turn. Every fatal mistake. His glimpses have kept him alive through war zones, ambushes, and secrets governments prefer buried. But when a terrorist attack on the US Embassy in London exposes what he can do, Elias becomes the most wanted man no one will admit exists.
Katherine Wynn spent her life trying to prevent the end of the world. Her visions show only one future. Missiles in the sky and humanity erased in nuclear fire. Then Elias appears, and for the first time, her future changes.
Vivian Glass controls the board, the pieces, and sees the moves no one else knows they’re making.
Forced into helping an intelligence agency, Elias is on a collision course with Wynn. The fallout when they meet will either save the world or be the trigger to end it.
Elias can see every path to his own death. But saving the world may mean choosing the wrong path.
Glimpses is a relentless action thriller, packed with cinematic set-pieces and a sci-fi edge.

About the author
Iain Benson
23 books19 followersIain is a fifty-something computer programmer from Manchester. He writes mainly thrillers, dashing in sprinklings of science-fiction, psychology and humour. Although he's written novels and shorts since childhood, he only got into indie publishing on turning forty, when the other choices for a mid-life crisis looked too expensive. Successes in short stories almost translated into becoming a traditionally published novelist in 2010. Instead, he moved into indie publishing with the well-regarded "Fakebook.con". He refuses to admit how much research he did in writing it. Fifteen books later, he shows no sign of slowing.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Ladies and gentlemen, we have found the writer for the next Bond movie. That's how amazingly written the action in this book is. And I'm downplaying it.
Ella's can see every possible future outcome of a situation involving his potential death, allowing him to choose the path that best avoids it. However, the stakes in this book are world ending and everyone and their operative wants in on it.
No spoilers here but I deeply despised Isherwood and felt a kinship with Ross. Loved the character work, the scene setting was spectacular and the action would have Tom Cruise lining up to star in the movie adaptation.
Excellent work!
