U.S. Representative Jim DeMint Receives Debut Novel.
U.S. Representative and Senate hopeful Jim DeMint of South Carolina has requested and received a signed copy of the debut novel SECRET OF THE CIRCLE by Glenn Haertlein.
(PRWEB) May 16, 2004 -- Responding to an email from the author, Representative Jim DeMint has requested and received a signed copy of Glenn Haertlein's new novel SECRET OF THE CIRCLE. Written by a Greer, South Carolina resident, SECRET OF THE CIRCLE, is a fictional story about Dr. James Schortz, a research scientist living in the Upstate, who stumbles upon a way to cause nerve, limb, and organ regeneration in humans.
Having spent his life looking for answers, Dr. Schortz accepts when his friend and Mentor, Dr. Houston Brada, asks him to go on a research voyage that takes him half a world away to mysterious tropical island rarely visited by outsiders. Dr. Schortz quickly discovers more than he bargains for: Dr. Brada is part of a secret organization called the 'Circle,' based in Greenville, South Carolina; and the cure he discovers places him at the center of a long-standing battle between the Circle and its arch rival, a ruthless corporation headed by Bill Joyce, Jr. 'Junior,' as he is called, is the son of Brada's former close friend and business partner. Bent on revenge over his father's death, stemming from research tied to the Circle, Junior will stop at nothing to get, and if necessary destroy, what Dr. James Schortz has discovered.
The secret Jim has found lies in a rare tropical fruit found on the remote island. The struggle lies in keeping the island a secret so as not to destroy the inhabitants' way of life, and at the same time preventing the newly found discovery from falling into Junior's hands. Formulated incorrectly, the secret, a virtual fountain of youth, has the potential of becoming a dangerous biochemical weapon.
Vividly written, with many scenes taking place in South Carolina, SECRET OF THE CIRCLE is described as a story that demands the reader's attention.
SECRET OF THE CIRCLE (ISBN:1-4137-0754-8) is published by Publish America and available now at major bookstores, and online at Amazon.com, BAMM.com, and BN.com.
