    About this ebook

    Monsters are real.
    ...but they look just like the person standing next to you.
    Instantaneously switching bodies, with an alternate-self in a quantum universe, made Jude indestructible. But ... he's also highly radioactive. While being a half-rotted corpse, he can see without eyes, hear without ears, and think with only the remains of a rotted brain. He has encyclopedic knowledge, but no memory of who he was before waking up in a radiation-shielded coffin.
    In his search for answers, Jude is the name given to him by an unlikely friend.
    Throughout the country, children come missing. One at a time ... Jude can stop the monsters ... the real monsters ... from killing again. But can he keep both his soul and sanity intact?

    The story of Jude begins the Horseless Horsemen series. Each book is a Stand-Alone, but each builds on everything that came before it.

    The words most commonly used to describe this Paranormal Suspense series are “Intense!” and “A roller-coaster of emotion!”

    5 Stars!!
    In the prologue of “The Horseless Horseman: Jude” we are introduced to a character who is so grotesque that we cannot believe a story can be written about him. Since it is only the prologue, we read on. In time we forget about the prologue and are wrapped up in a tale that introduces the use of robots and the men who make them work to a tragic disaster, a tsunami, a real event in Japan that took place in recent memory, and the potential meltdown of a nuclear reactor in that devastated country. In the backdrop of the horror of a natural disaster, which leads to the horror of an industrial accident, which leads to the death of a good man, we are introduced to the horror that we instantly feared from the prologue. Jude is created. However, although Jude is hideous and should be fearsome, he is not. What is he? The story R.C. Miller has skillfully crafted reveals the good and evil of the creature that becomes known as Jude.
    Do not pick up this book thinking that you will take your time reading it. It is so engaging that you will not be able to put it down. R. C. Miller creates in Jude a character you will never forget. There is good and bad in this potential superhero, who is less a hero and more a victim, a human who has very little in common with most humans. What he does have is a soul and a mission.
    Although it is a bit dark, I recommend it to anyone who has the stomach for a good tale.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
