CLARION FOREWORD REVIEW
Four Stars (out of five)
“GOD, I NEVER KNEW A MAN WHO WANTED SO MUCH TO BE DEAD…OR DESERVED IT MORE.”
These are the opening lines of The Methuselah Man, an international thrill ride that takes you from the halls of power in Washington, to the Las Vegas Strip – with a lethal train ride from Kiev to Istanbul.
The Methuselah Man is the story of…
…President Treem, who is determined to change the nuclear face of the world by unilateral example;
…Vice President Austin, an old-school war hero who will go to any lengths to stop the new policy – including assassination of the President;
…Jared Kennan Cain, a man with a perfect genetic structure whose seeming immortality has left him feeling forever abandoned by God and abducted by a government gone mad; and
…Wes Franklin, a member of the international intelligence network The Cloister of Akhenaten, who races to prevent a nuclear cataclysm of unimaginable magnitude as he gradually discovers the true identity of Jared Kennan Cain — The Methuselah Man
The Methuselah Man Will Dresser Books
A psychiatrist, Joe Rosenfeld, is sought out by a man dying of cancer and thinks the counseling sessions will only last a few days unless the man dies even sooner. The ill man just doesn't seem to be able to accept the fact that he is about to die and acts like it would be a blessing if only it were true. Is he suicidal? All he has to do is wait a few days, and his problem will solve itself. So what can Joe offer him in the short time available? And, why did this man specifically ask for a referral to him out of all the counselors in California?Then people start to die, people Joe knows, and he, his secretary Liz, and the man have to hit the road looking for a safe place to hide. Joe calls his old college friend, Wes Franklin, who has contacts everywhere and asks him for help. Wes is happy to help his old buddy, but he is in the middle of a big job that the U.S. Secretary of Defense has asked him to do that is essential for the security of the nation.
When their paths cross the action really starts. Bullets and fists fly, the bad guys want the strange man dead, or do they? Maybe they want him alive, but why? They certainly have no problem killing anyone who gets in their way. But with Wes on their side the good guys have a powerful friend and ally.
I got this book free on a Kindle special. As you might know, most of the free Kindle books aren't necessarily worth reading. There are some titles I would like to delete from my archives because just remembering the title makes me cringe. But, fortunately, this book is different.
The author kept events in order with very little repetitive introductions, I noticed no grammatical errors, the story was laid out in a logical manner, not all the hints telegraphed information (well, maybe Starkova for Operation: Star Cover was a little obvious), and of course the big "surprise" that wasn't a surprise at all. But even with these tiny giveaways the story was interesting enough for me to enjoy reading it to the conclusion. There is a religious bent to the story but since it seems to be all-inclusive in it's theology no one should be terribly offended. There is a little romance, some graphic violence, a little bit of cussing but not too vile, and lots of intrigue. I really like the character Wes Franklin and would like to read more stories about him and his secret organisation that seems to go around saving the world.

The Methuselah Man Will Dresser Books Reviews
Will Dresser's The Methuselah Man is like a magic carpet that swoops down and carries one away on a grand journey, combining the everyday life of ordinary folks with that of some very special people. It takes a while to identify, disaggregate, and recombine the serpentine and multi-layered pathways involved in this action, mystery adventure. And as it turns out, that is exactly what all of the fun is about with this amazing piece. One part of the story unfolds through various characters found in a macabre dance of international intrigue on a cross-European continental railway. This 'keep you on the edge of your seat' depiction honors the great classic cinema railway scenes of the past, such as those found in North By Northwest, From Russia with Love, and The Silver Streak. The espionage on rails is then linked across the oceans to the greed, deception, and foul corruption festering at the highest level of our government. In the meantime, on the west coast, Wes Franklin and company are deep into their own unraveling of these and more interwoven plot lines. The ending reveals a grand epiphony when all of the aforementioned ingredients coalesce into one meaningful scene. I am sure that O'Henry himself would be proud to call this ironic and unexpected ending his own.
This one definitely deserves five stars! The titular character, the Methuselah Man, is very interesting and intriguing. Wes Franklin, Aryana, and AJ are awesome as always. The action is non-stop and the suspense sustained. Mr. Dresser throws in some EXCELLENT twists, especially at the end of the book. I found myself mumbling "All RIGHT!!" and "Yesssss!!". Kudos! Exuberantly recommended!
I love reading a good book, whether it's action, political thriller, mystery, or science fiction. But when an author manages to combine multiple genres into one, I know I'm in for a good read. Such is the case with "The Methuselah Man".
In this fast paced novel, Wes Franklin, a member of THE CLOISTER OF AKHENATEN, an international clandestine, non-affiliated investigative group, is pulled into two mysteries, unaware that they will eventually collide. In Washington, his good friend and former mentor, Secretary of State Crandall Forsyth, recruits him to look into a high level official's sudden change in position over administration nuclear policy. And on the west coast, a friend, Dr. Joe Rosenfeld, asks Wes to investigate a patient, a man of mystery Jared Kennan Cain. Who is this man whose body defies the laws of medicine and who is it that will stop at nothing to capture him?
When Cain and Franklin finally meet, Franklin begins to connect the dots between the two cases. Cain's plan is to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada. Once there, Cain finally reveals his true purpose to Franklin to remind people of the horrors nuclear weapons can produce. How he will do this is as yet unclear to Franklin, but to do so will require his help. Franklin, for his part, must at times suspend what he knows is scientifically and medically true while trusting Cain as he uses his every available resource to protect Cain and keep all involved alive.
Not to be overlooked are the contributions from Ashley Jordan, aka A.J., a computer wiz, and Persian strongman, body guard and special investigator, Aryana. Whereas Franklin possesses a keen knowledge and intellect, A.J. proves every bit as smart and important with her electronics' skills. Indeed, it is A.J. who uncovers the key pieces of information from her computer sleuthing that sends this group to the west coast and that provides the connection to Cain. And whereas I wouldn't challenge Franklin to an intellectual one on one, I wouldn't tangle with Aryana. For that matter, I wouldn't dare tangle with A.J. either. Together, the three of them bring to the table skill sets that supplement and complement each other and their chemistry is such that they are never off the same page.
As an action novel, this book would definitely stand alone. But what sets it above the rest and makes it special are the behind the action covert political maneuverings played out by Administration officials in Washington to achieve their nuclear agenda. To discover what this story is truly about the reader must pay Wes Franklin-like attention to catch the clues that the author has cleverly sprinkled throughout the story to figure out who's playing whom. Reading this novel twice would be my recommendation.
Highly recommended reading! Clever, fun, smart and entertaining only begin to describe this book. And with the door open at the end for the possibility of a sequel, well, this can be nothing short of good news to the growing fan base of this up and coming series.
