The best part of this book is that it made me stop and do some research on MK-ULTRA, mind control research, Korean War era soldiers, and Ted Kaczynski. I don't know how accurate Shuman's statements in this book are, but they are based in reality. I found that part of the story interesting.
The main character, Sherry Moore, is blind, can touch a cadaver and see the last 18 seconds of that person's thoughts. In this book, she touches a former Korean War soldier who was part of the military's experiments. Sounds good to me, but Shuman's writing style leaves a lot to be desired. Repetition of certain facts is a trait I've found in previous Shuman books I've read, and it's the same in this one. I jumped over early pages in chapters, then skimmed a few pages until I found the meat of the story. So much boring writing, but I felt I had to finish this one.

Please note: I read and reviewed this book June 21, 2012, from a copy of the book I received from the Amazon Vine program in exchange for an honest review.
Synopsis: Stunningly beautiful psychic Sherry Moore's world has been draped in darkness for as long as she can remember. Though she has been blind since childhood, her extraordinary gift for seeing the last eighteen seconds of a deceased person's memory has helped solve numerous crimes and save countless lives. Her life has been anything but normal, but because of her relationship with Brian Metcalf, the Navy SEAL she met during a dramatic rescue on Mount McKinley, Sherry has never been happier. Then her exposure to deadly radiation changes everything. Unnerved about the radiation's possible aftereffects and suffering from optical migraines, Sherry checks herself into the hospital to undergo tests. All seems normal until they wheel in the body of one Thomas Monahan. Vivid, terrifying images from his memory flood her thoughts the moment she grasps his hand. She feels a connection take hold as she thrashes about on the gurney, finally letting out a bloodcurdling scream. When Sherry next opens her eyes, for the first time in thirty-two years, she can see. They call it a miracle. But for Sherry life with sight proves to be more complicated. She has to navigate the world anew, troubled by the agonizing, unanswered question: Who was this man and how had he enabled her to regain her vision? Enlisting the help of retired Admiral Garland Brigham, her confidant and best friend, Sherry doggedly begins to unravel this complicated history and unearths some startling revelations, beginning with the work of Edward Case. Case is a man used to getting his way. The CEO of pharmaceutical giant Case & Kimble, he has the nation's elite on speed dial. But unsettling rumors have circulated for years about the genesis of the company's stratospheric success, questioning how this upstart firm has gained prominence and grown to be a monolithic institution worth billions of dollars. How its drugs always seem to make it onto the market before those of its competitors. If the secrets to C&K's dominance are ever made public, they will destroy the empire Case has so carefully constructed. And he will stop at nothing to keep his domain intact.Flush with pounding action and shocking twists, Second Sight is the riveting story of an astounding heroine who, in delving into the darkest corners of the pharmaceutical trade, risks her life to set right an injustice buried deep in the past.
My thoughts: I stumbled upon this series quite by accident and have been (mostly) very happy I did so. I love the idea of this woman who can see the last seconds of a person's life, when she is otherwise blind. She is a strong heroine and the paranormal aspects of the stories don't overwhelm the plot. Shuman knows how to add in twists and turns galore, and keep the reader guessing throughout the book. I highly recommend this series of books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Buried secrets and dangerous experiments --, July 25, 2009
This review is from: Second Sight: A Novel of Psychic Suspense (Hardcover)
This is the 4th novel of "psychic suspense" in the Sherry Moore series and although it starts out a bit slow, it ends up being another good one in the collection. Like another recent novel by Jefferson Bass, Bones of Betrayal: A Body Farm Novel, this story focuses on human experimentation using radiation and radiowaves. The victims of these clandestine studies were US Army soldiers during the Korean War and Cold War era. Sherry comes into contact with one of those men after he has died at the New York State Hospital for the Insane after being confined there, a vegetable, for more than 50 years.
Sherry's unique gift, though she has been blind since a head injury at age 5, is to be able to "see" the last 18 seconds of the dead person's life. She has to have contact with their body and then she can experience their thoughts and visions during those last moments. This talent has made her a media darling and she is sought after by police when death under mysterious circumstances, especially murder and other crimes, has occurred.
There are a couple of things going on in the book -- the main plot concerns the use of mind control devices by a giant pharmaceutical company for a secret US Defense project, the other concerns radiation poisoning that Sherry experiences when she helps the police figure out why a child was left dead in a dumpster. As part of her neurological testing after her exposure to cesium 137, she holds the hand of the dead man brought in from the Hospital for the Insane and sees the disturbing pictures as usual but when she opens her eyes afterwards, something momentous has occurred.
The novel moves back and forth between characters and contains a ton of information about the Korean War and the experimentation done on volunteers from the military. Parts of it were slow, but the story gained momentum about halfway through and then moved very quickly toward the end.
Compared to my enjoyment of the novelty that was the first in the series, 18 Seconds: A Novel (Sherry Moore Novels), I liked this one almost as much as Lost Girls: A Sherry Moore Novel (my favorite), and much more than Last Breath: A Sherry Moore Novel (my least favorite).
I will definitely be buying the next one in the series as well.

I enjoyed the story behind this book, but there were just too many things that seemed so far outside of reality that I had a hard time staying focused on the plot. A woman who has been blind since she was a child suddenly gets her sight restored through an unexplained, psychic experience. Fine. But then she goes about her life acting as if it were barely an adjustment for her, like seeing weren't a foreign concept. I just couldn't buy into it.
The story was an interesting one involving psychic powers and mysteries surrounding government conspiracies and military experiments on human beings. Kind of far-fetched stuff, but that's what makes novels like this worth reading after all. The writing and the storyline are decent, but like I said before, the mechanics of the story were just too unrealistic for my taste. Just okay in my book.

I expected to love this novel. As those of you who have read my own books, THE THIRD EYE and WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER? in particular, know, this is my kind of subject matter. I was disappointed to discover I didn't enjoy it. Partly it was the plot, which was too outrageous to take seriously and too complex to follow. But mostly it was the fact that there was no emotion in the story. It was as if a computer ground it out on it's own after being fed certain data.
Then I turned to the back flap to see what the author looked like. George Shuman is a feast for the eyes -- he could be a movie star. But he doesn't seem able to get inside the mind of a woman. I would guess he would do better with books written from a male viewpoint.

Very good! Would look for more of his books.

I was pretty happy that Sherry's sight returned in this book as most authors do not evolve their characters so much and Sherry's blindness was not supposed to be permanent but for her to lose it again at the end was too much. Why could she not have sight and still be able to see victims last few seconds; this is a fiction/fantasy so anything goes, but apparently not Sherry's blindness. The story was somewhat unrealistic compared to the other stories. Someone having control over another's mind just by being in the vicinity was silly as someone said in this book that everyone's reaction is different. So how could Troy know exactly what his victims would do once he took over their minds. Sherry knew she was losing control and took charge. Surely others would take evasive action as well. There was no information about Sherry's boyfriend at the end, just that he had returned. More detail would have been nice.

Birbirinden bağımsız okunan seri kitapları çok seviyorum. elinizde tek kitap varsa okur ve seriye devam etme kararı verirsiniz. Sherry karakterini çok sevdim. Sanırım bu kitapta karakteri biraz zayıf kalmış ama yaşadıklarıyla bağdaştırınca gayet normal. Çok uzamadan sonunu getirmiş yazar :)

The third installment of the surprisingly readable series about blind psychic Sherry Moore doesn’t disappoint.
I’m not sure why I buy into the fact that Moore, who has been blind since an accident she can’t remember at the age of five, has the unique ability to touch a dead person’s hand and envision the last 18 seconds of their life.
But I do, and invariably it’s quite exciting.
“Second Sight” begins with Sherry having been in a serious relationship with military man Brian Metcalf for about six months now. He has just taken her to meet his family right before he had to ship out on his most recent top-secret mission. Now, Sherry is back at home with her best friend/neighbor retired admiral Garland Brigham, and she’s getting used to life without Brian for a while.
While working an investigation, Sherry holds the hand of a man who spent the last 50 years of his life in a psychiatric hospital. She doesn’t understand what she sees, but eventually she realizes that the man was undergoing some sort of government testing before lapsing into a 50-year coma.
And what’s more, this strange vision of hers seems to have come with a bonus: she can suddenly see for the first time in over 30 years. As she regains her vision, she thinks more deeply about the man whose hand she held that led her to regaining sight.
Thomas Monahan, the dead psychiatric patient, was leading her to further investigate why her vision returned, as well as what experiments the government was performing on him.
Garland Brigham was more than happy to stand in as Sherry’s bodyguard/co-investigator while helping her navigate a whole new world she’s never actually seen before. Including a handsome man Sherry seems to keep running into.
Sherry, this new mystery man, Brigham, and her visions all tie together with danger and death all around. Quite an interesting read, with many questions answered in the end, including what comes of her relationship with Brian, does she get to keep her sight at the expense of her psychic power, and will she even live to “see” another day.

Sherry Moore was born with no eye sight. That has not stopped her from becoming a talented psychic and helping out the police on many cases. The unique thing is that on every case Sherry has worked on, she gains the gift of sight but only for eighteen seconds. Besides being a psychic, Sherry also has the ability to see through the eyes of the dead and retains the deceased’s memories for the last eighteen seconds, right before their death. This is a great help to the authorities and Sherry is able to identify the killer.
Because of Sherry’s interesting job, it would only be fitting that she have just as an exciting boyfriend. His name is Brian Metcalf. He is a Navy SEAL. Hanging out with Brian can be deadly. Sherry ends up coming in contact with some radiation. The effects of the radiation causes Sherry to have horrible optical headaches. She decides to check herself into a hospital for treatment. There Sherry meets the body of Thomas Monahan. Mr. Monahan died at a mental institute. Sherry touches Thomas’s hand and she most amazing thing happens…Sherry gains her vision. She can see. Thomas has some secrets to share. Due to the connection with Thomas, Sherry learns some shocking news about a certain someone. If this news was to be made public, it would ruin this person forever. Sherry better watch herself as she just might end up losing her sight for good.
I have been wanting to read Mr. Shuman’s work since I first heard about Lost Girls. Unfortunately, Second Sight did not impress me. Yes, it had some creepy moments but not what I was hoping for. I was wanting spine-tingling, hair-raising intensity that would keep my interest. Sherry was nice and all but not very intriguing. I felt that she didn’t have much personality. One thing I did like about this book is that it kind of had The Green Mile feel to it. Hopefully Mr. Shuman’s next novel is better.

I didn't realize this was part of a series about a blind clairvoyant who has the ability to "see" the last thing that was seen by a dead person. Thus, she has developed a reputation (of sorts) and is in demand by police departments and such to solve murder cases. I was attracted to this book in the library because the prologue was particularly interesting but the rest of the book didn't hold my interest as much. In this case, the protagonist (whose "second sight" is explained pseduoscientifically as a unique set of brain wave patterns) has been exposed to radiation and when she . . . oh, you know what? Never mind the plot.
I was intrigued by the theme of Cold War brainwashing and other shenanigans that she uncovers, but not much else. And there were too many convenient plot conventions (if all this Cold War experimentation was top secret, how come her best friend and mentor was able to find out about it right away?). Also, work with blind people and I wonder if the author has ever met any blind people in his life. The way he writes about his main character makes me highly doubt it (e.g., they never refer to their canes as "sticks"). If you like this series, you'll like this book. I won't seek out any more books in this series for myself just because it's not really to my taste.

Where to begin?!
They say the devil is in the details... Part of the action takes place in a small town, Stockton, NY, I'm not sure if the author was trying to create a fictitious town of if he was referring to the actual Stockton, NY. But the real Stockton, NY was at least a hundred if not 150 miles from the Catskills where the author set his fictional Stockton.
Also, a blind woman regaining her sight after 32 years is likely going to experience far more disorientation after regaining her sight than is described in this book. I found Sherry's recovery period after regaining her sight to be completely implausible.
This was supposed to be a suspense novel. While there was some building suspense the climax was rather anti-climactic.
I learned after I started reading this that it was/is the 4th book in a series. But having read it and being rather dissatisfied with it, I'll be skipping the first three books and any subsequent books in this series.

After accidently being exposed to radioactive materials, blind psychic Sherry Moores touches the body of mental patient Thomas J. Monahan, an army private during the Korean War who was used in a government mind-control experiment in 1950. Suddenly, she can see!
As she investigates why her vision returned, Sherry learns more about secret military tests conducted on Monahan during the '50s and a link to a major pharaceutical company.
But even though her vision has returned, Sherry's adjusting to her new visual world makes her more blind than ever to the criminal elements who want to keep their secrets buried.
Fourth in the Sherry Moore series. I was very surprise that Sherry regained her vision, but the author has left room for a sequel. Highly recommend the series.

Through an odd series of events, Sherry regains her sight for this novel. While she is investigating a “cold case” that turns suddenly very hot she is also dealing with life as a sighted person. Although most of these books put Sherry in implausible situations … that’s the nature of the genre after all … this one seems to lag just a little bit because the character has to deal with the problems of being suddenly sighted. Still a good read, but if you want to try Mr. Shuman’s books this would not be the one to pick up first.

I was surprised to see several not-so-favorable reviews. I had a difficult time putting the book down so I'm guessing it's one of those "either or" situations. If you're a fan of realistic mysteries, this may not be for you. If you're willing to suspend a little of that belief, you'll enjoy reading this story with a mix of psychic suspense and drama dealing with the Cold War medical experiments. For fans of Robin Cook, Michael Palmer, and Michael Crichton, who enjoy mysteries, I'd recommend checking out this author.

February 15, 2010I read this before realizing there were other books about this character so I might not have gotten the full effect of her getting her eyesight back. It's an interesting mystery and I'll read the other books in the series too. The writing isn't the best. I found myself wondering why I needed to know that they order ice tea at the diner. I imagined it as a movie too, I think it could easily translate to film. I like the idea of her gift too. The characters are likeable as well.

Det var så sidste bog i serien om sherry Moore, man må sige, at det er flot af forfatteren, at stoppe en serien "på toppen", for hvor var den da spændende. Nu der er sket så radikale ændringer i Sherry Moores liv, ville det også være ærgerligt at fortsætte, hvis det var på bekostning af en mindre interessant hovedperson. Selve bogen var med et tankevækkende og skræmmende plot, og jeg synes at handlingen var helt igennem spændende og sammenhængende - flot punktum i serien.

Was very impressed with the storyline and was captured by Sherry Moore once again... What an amazing character and one that I will keep reading through all of George's books... great suspence and moving storyline... enjoy the story going back into the past... great feel while reading this book... thanks George!

This was a hard book to get into. The story is definitely likeable and realistic, it was just hard to follow at times. I randomly picked this book up @ my local library and I'm not disappointed, as I didn't have any expectations. Good characters, good story.

Wasn't a bad read once you get past the first couple of chapters and it starts to tie it all in.
Interesting concept for a story line. Apparently there are 3 prior books with the main character.

July 25, 2011It was good but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the others. I'm not sure why.

Inventive and hard to put down but could use a slightly more believable plot and better character development. Finished in the book day though, whilst having the flu. 4 stars it is.
July 13, 2013
Not my favorite. Just way to unreal for me. Mind control, blind then not then blind again. Just didn't do it for me. Hope the next one if there is one is better

I enjoyed '18 Seconds' the first of his books that I read....and I enjoyed this one even more.

This book started out great and couldn't wait to get in to it. But towards the end, it just sort of petered out and the actual ending was pathetic,.

The story was quite good in parts but the characters were cold, no life, no warmth, brrr, don't think i'll bother with the others.
