Noel Carroll's new mystery thriller, NEVER BY BLOOD, recently received the Scribe's World Reviewer's Choice Award. This is on top of the five star ratings already given it by Midwest Book Review , Sime~Gen and AA Showcase. Clearly, Allen-Ayers Books has a winner on their hands.

THE STORY:
   : ...A terrorist with a private cause; a woman's desperate attempt to keep him from destroying her world...

We all suffer nightmares and, for the most part, dismiss them as such. But for Therese Elliott, young, attractive and highly respected in her position at Villanova University, it has gone beyond dream to gruesome reality.

Therese is desperate in her need to know, not only what triggered the dream but why she finds it so impossible to let it go. And why she knows with a fatal certainty that, if it is not quickly sorted out, the shuttle Atlantis with her astronaut husband aboard will be sent crashing into the International Space Station.

Allies come in surprising form, and Therese sees opportunity in a disturbingly handsome priest with a shaky hold on his halo. Father John Cortise has been sent by the Vatican to investigate a series of religious murders, the details of which appear to have been plucked from her nightmare. She enlists his aid and together they pursue the truth to London, to Beirut, then finally to Florida, aware that the clock is ticking and that, unless they succeed, Atlantis and whatever evil rides within her will take off as scheduled.

NEVER BY BLOOD is available through all major online booksellers and through your local book store (ISBN: 0-9658702-5-1; Library of Congress # 2002091649; published by Allen-Ayers Books; distributed by Ingram Book Company)
