| Plot Summary of Mirage |
"Fiction/Mystery book fans should definitely check this out! ! ! If you've ever suspected the military or the government of a conspiracy, Mirage, a new novel by Don Passman, may confirm those thoughts. A young man begins to realize that there is a part of his psyche that has been unkowingly altered by a covert govt. agency. This book goes through a gripping psychological analysis and deconstruction, as the FBI uses a cult deprogrammer/mind control specialist to unlock what's in his mind. This book is really hard to put down and had me wanting to turn every page. To get a closer look at this book goto: http://www.donpassman.com. "
