Overview

Seaborne's SIXTH novel in the DIVISIBLE MAN franchise. Caught up in a series of hideous headline-generating crimes, Will Stewart confronts the question of whether to reveal himself or allow innocent lives to be lost. An old enemy surfaces. A vile night stalker poses a threat. And helping Andy in a race to determine the fate of a missing Essex police officer while testing the side effects of ""the other thing"" pushes Will to the edge...Until he's accused of a crime he DID commit. The stakes go even higher when Andy uncovers the real reason behind a celebrity athlete's assault on an underaged girl. And Will discovers that the limits of his ability can lead to complete disaster. Essex County is ground zero for the news story of the decade as the DIVISIBLE MAN cast of characters face off against outside forces in a page-turning race from a billionaire's secure lair to the top of New York society in DIVISIBLE MAN - SIX HARD RULES. ""Seaborne shows himself to be a reliably splendid storyteller in this latest outing. The plot is intricate and could have been confusing in lesser hands, but the author manages it well, keeping readers oriented amid unexpected developments. His crisp writing about complex scenes and concepts is another strong suit, as when he describes Lewko's laboratory, 'a set director's dream for a science fiction picture' where 'sequential lights glowed in the floor, throbbing like weird luminescent water flowers sunk in an acrylic pond.' The fantasy of self-powered flight remains absolutely compelling, each installment bringing new revelations regarding its possibilities and origins. As a former charter pilot, Seaborne conveys Will's delight not only in the other thing, but also in airplanes and the world of flight-an engaging subculture that he ably brings to life for the reader. Will is heroic and daring, as one would expect, but he's also funny, compassionate, and affectionate. While embracing a troubled woman, for example, he reflects on his own feelings: 'It wasn't attraction, but it was love....The kind that hides beneath the skin of humanity and peeks out when tragedy reminds us that everyone around us reflects the face we see in the mirror.' "" - Kirkus Reviews A Kirkus Starred Review - ""A book of exceptional merit."" ""A gripping, timely, and twisty thriller."" - Kirkus Reviews Author Howard Seaborne writes, flies airplanes and helicopters, and takes you higher than ever in the sixth DIVISIBLE MAN novel.

Reviews

""Seaborne is never less than a spellbinding storyteller, keeping his complicated but clearly explicated plot moving smoothly from one nail-biting scenario to another. As the tale goes along, seemingly disparate plot lines begin to satisfyingly connect in ways that will keep readers guessing until the explosive (in more ways than one) action-movie denouement. The author's grasp of global politics gives depth to the book's thriller elements, which are nicely balanced by thoughtful characterizations. Even minor characters come across in three dimensions, and Will himself is an endearing narrator. He's lovestruck by his gorgeous, intelligent, and strong-willed wife; has his heart and social conscience in the right place; and is boyishly thrilled by the other thing. ""A brilliantly written action thriller..."" -Best Thrillers.com ""FIVE STARS! Seaborne has got his series down to a fine art at this point, masterfully weaving a complex narrative filled with suspense and high stakes that challenges the heroes we know and love more than ever."" - Reader's Favorite ""A solid series entry that is, as usual, exciting, intricately plotted, and thoroughly entertaining."" - Kirkus Reviews
