"A dead-on thriller for the decade...I can't imagine anyone reading this and not wanting more." --Thomas F. Monteleone, author of the NY Times bestseller, The Blood of the Lamb and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing a Novel
Mindbenders Ted Krever 9780615487199 Books
I really enjoyed this book, as the author quickly gets you into the head (pun intended) of his characters. From start to finish, the book is pretty much non-stop action and there are some shades of the happenings in this book of things I have read about trying to occur in various research institutions and governments. It does make you step back outside of the novel and think "what if" on today's society and some of the crazy stuff you hear about happening in the world.One drawback on this book for me was the ending - it just stops with an abrupt ending - and the "Now" chapter appears to have been rushed as if the author was tired of writing. What a letdown, but the other 99.9% of the book was great.
I originally picked this up during a free Kindle promotion and, as I type this review I see the pricing is $2.99 - you will get more than $2.99 of value out of this and I recommend it.

MINDBENERS by Ted Krever will make you wonder if your mind really does belong to you.
Gregor "Greg" Samsa is living in the Florida Everglades, suffering from a memory loss. His friend, Dave Monaghan, is murdered almost before his very eyes. A strange man, Mr. Dullas, who has visited the camp many times drags Greg from the house moments before it explodes in a ball of flame. Leary of the man who is forcing him to confront memories he has hidden the two begin a search for others like themselves and the killers of their friend.
Fiction entices the reader to suspend belief, but MINDBENDERS is so plauable it seems possible.
First rate action/adventure/thriller with twists, turns, suprises and a slam-bang conclusion. When you think you have the plot figured out, it throws you a curve of unexpected suspense.
Nash Black, author of SANDPRINTS OF DEATH
OMG! As I started to read this book, it jumped right in at the beginning from the death of a friend, to mind probing, running for your life, then going on a thrilling suspenseful emotional roller coaster ride. At different times you wish you had some of their power. Then you realize, that maybe your better off not! I couldn't put the book down, running from the enemies, can they do it!!!!!....finally crawled into bed early hours of the next day.......But now I want MORE...rarely do I find an author, that can hold me in a grip, like this book did, where I don't want to share time within another book....I HAVE to FINISH this and find out what happened. This is a MUST READ......This is NOT my normal Genre for reading, but "Ted Krever" just turned me onto his style.....I am truly looking forwards to seeing more of Mr Krevers books....keep writing, There HAS to be a sequel to this Please!
" Mindbenders", by author Ted Krever is a highly touted (by reviewers) indie SF novella (at 229 pages on my , it's really a little too short to call it a novel) that lives up to (and or/exceeds) its hype. I thought all the way through that it was a single, stand-alone piece (and it certainly is stand-alone) but after finishing it I was pleased to find that a sequel is in the works.
"Mindbenders" is about a group of loosely- (very) knit everyday folks who happen to possess amazing "psychic"powers including telepathy, thought control and psychokinesis. The novel starts when one of them, the sort of guardian of a semi-catatonic severely PSTD'ed vet gets murdered. One of the murdered guy's psychic buddies, who turns out to be the end result of a long line of Soviet selective breeding program for psychic abilities, shows up and drags our hero, the vet, into an global, international conspiracy of corporate and governmental politics, mind control, murder and intrigue. Several of the characters are drawn clearly (along with their different interesting "gifts") and the interpersonal relations feel genuine.
I have been perusing 's kindle offerings for a while, buying lots of inexpensive (and sometimes not-so-inexpensive) SF and fantasy offerings from indie authors. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But "Mindbenders" was a big win. Krevel can write, and can plot, and has a great sense of pacing. At 229 pages, you know that there is no filler. In fact, about 3/4 of the way through I was wondering if he could really pull it all together by the end, but he does, and in grand style. The writing is tight and taught, and there is just enough (good!) science and logic mixed into the paranormal to let one easily suspend disbelief and become totally immersed. Nothing in the plot or writing feels forced and everything flows smoothly. There are none of the typos, formatting errors and other major and minor gaffes that mar so many other indie pubs.
A great, fast read at a great price. 4.5 stars! I'm looking forward to more from Mr. Krever.
Highly recommended for all SF fans.
