TERRORISM AT HOME

Dark Face of Light is a story of friendship, urgency, choices, circumvention and selfless love, and heroism. Ultimately, it is a story of the discovery of one's own purpose, and of what it is to be human.

FORT LAUDERDALE, April 2003: Legislative response to Domestic Terrorism has been adopted in some form by nearly half the states in our country. But the need for such action makes you wonder: Is there any place left that is safe?
   Dark Face of Light, by Darleen Haynes (Llumina Press), offers a rich and frightening example of what could happen if a small group of tyrants were to gain control of dangerous weapons with the goal of causing cataclysmic results. We learn how the menacing Philip and his cohorts are so twisted that even the lives of children are seen as mere collateral damage in their heartless mission.
   In this psychological thriller that begins after a car accident in a moonless Louisiana forest, Cynthia Harling, a psychiatrist, and Jason Donner, an electronics engineer find themselves captured by a paramilitary group. Led by the mysterious Philip, the terrorists give Cynthia and Jason the ultimate choice: cooperate in the destruction of thousands of innocent lives or die!
As the city of New Orleans sleeps, oblivious to the dangers at its doorstep, will the two captives thwart the destructive plan, or will they become tortured accomplices? What heroic role does Plywood, Cynthias Doberman, play? What function does a single unique criminal offer? Will the FBI and The New Orleans Police Department help or hinder? Could this really happen? These are questions that keep the reader guessing until the tense and dramatic end of an exquisitely crafted page turner.
   Dark Face of Light is a suspense story of friendship, urgency, choices, circumvention, where selfless love is heroism. And ultimately, it is a story of self-discovery, of ones own purpose, of what it is to be in ones empirical image and what it is to be human.
