About this ebook
The David Chance Series: Messages, Voices, Lies
David Chance can see messages in the sea of words around him, messages that warn him of future events.
Words are everywhere-- on labels, magazines, sign posts, t-shirts-- everywhere. And as much as David Chance would like to hide from them, he can't. Words keep leaping off objects around him, forming messages in his mind. But how is this possible? Has his brain suddenly taken an evolutionary leap forward, or are the mysterious messages proof of divine intervention?
Driven to answer a question he'd long ago abandoned, and stalked by the killer he's trying to stop, David risks everything to follow the messages to a dirty bomb set to go off in the heart of Boston. But can he trust the author of the messages to protect him from a terrorist who seems to know his every move.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5interesting concept - could do with a bit more subtletyI found the idea behind the book intriguing, but it could have been better executed.The lead character, David Chance, becomes embroiled in a terrorist plot when he begins to perceive coherent(ish) messages in odd words that seem to leap out at him from the written media that happens to be around him. He feels compelled, reluctantly, to obey the messages and, to begin with, lives are saved by his doing so.There are two weaknesses in the book. The first is that the major evil-doer is telegraphed too early. I was not too bothered by this. The flaw that almost made me abandon the book completely was the excessive use of italics - they seemed to be on almost every page, sometimes as many as six words or phrases being italicised on a single Kindle page. It made me feel like screaming, "I get it! you don't need to tell me where to lay the stress in that sentence."Trust your readers Mr Hileman. Less is more.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mr. Hileman kept me up until 2 in the morning! I started reading this book and could not put it down. David starts ‘seeing’ words that mysteriously put themselves together to warn him of something or tell him something he needs to do. Has he become physic? Is it a deceased relative? Is it God? There were many times in the book when I found myself thinking, ‘that’s exactly what I would have thought or done if I were in David’s place.’ Mr. Hileman has taken an ordinary man and made his life suddenly extraordinary, David goes from being an intern at a news station to trying to stop the detonation of a dirty bomb in downtown Boston and the assassination of the president, quite a feat of story telling if you ask me. The courage David develops over the course of the story is amazing, I don’t think I could have done what he did in the end, was truly surprised at the ending!There were many twists and turns to the plot but it was so well written and the characters came alive so well that I had no trouble following the story. The Christian themes woven into the story intrigued me as well, I don’t know many people who have not questioned the existence of God at some point in their lives and Frank (his neighbor) does an excellent job of answering David’s questions. If you want a good clean suspense story this is the book for you! Definitely giving this one 5 stars.
