COCOA, Fla., Nov. 9, 2009 — In his latest book, "A Friend Goes Missing" (published by AuthorHouse), author Mike Houston takes readers on a nonstop thrill ride that begins when a woman named Nyki is violently kidnapped by a group of terrorists led by Congressman Willoughby of South Carolina and his menacing sister, a crazy physician who has already started unsanctioned experiments on other abducted females. Together, they mean to tip the balance of power around the globe and destroy the U.S. tackling the nation from both sides — political and scientific — in the meantime.
But what is their master plan? What experiments are they performing on these women? What schemes are these two hatching on that secluded island off the coast of Mexico? The mystery of Nyki's capture and exploitation are soon revealed as comrade Dr. Bluesman, a former U.S. Navy scientist, and his band join forces with the military to rescue the unreachable Nyki, a woman who is being held hostage by these two diabolical geniuses.
Threatening Nyki's well-being at every turn, the congressman and his insane sister plan to terrorize the musicians into playing concerts throughout the country in the hopes that their scheme will recruit more weak-minded individuals to cater to their bidding — that is, unless Dr. Bluesman and his gang of musicians can bring an end to this evil rule and its malevolent leaders.
After chasing the terrorists to the private island, Dr. Bluesman finds out his team is too late to save the hostages as they have been taken away by the crazed physician and her henchmen to another place.
Find out what drugs the doctor has administered to these captured women and what they could mean for the future of our society. Learn the secrets of Congressman Willoughby before he destabilizes all of North America. Join the chase in Houston's newest novel, "A Friend Goes Missing," a book that guarantees to keep readers glued to the page — start to finish.
