Children with extraordinary psychic powers are being used as pawns in a deadly supernatural war. Jasmine "Jazz" Tandy and her nine-year-old son Chaz, who can heal people with his touch, are fleeing from a ruthless organization that kidnaps these children. Children such as Kaylee Daley, who can control and manipulate plant life, and Mara Fleming, who can see into the future. Their only hope for salvation is a covert group called the Guardians, who protect these children from the organization's merciless hunters. Dr. Larssen Sössnacher, the organization's leader -- called "Soulsnatcher" by the remarkable children he abducts and exploits -- believes Chaz is the miraculous prodigy who will grant him the immortality he craves . . . and he'll stop at nothing to get Chaz. Cody Jackson, a Guardian and martial arts and weapons expert, rescues Jazz and Chaz from Soulsnatcher's hunters and takes them to Homestead, a safe haven where the children learn to use their powers to help others. But Soulsnatcher's hunters raid Homestead and battle the Guardians in a surreal deadly showdown -- with the souls of all the children as the ultimate prize.

James Rollins
"SOULSNATCHER grabs you by both the heart and the throat, as children with incredible powers are put in the path of villains with truly horrific ambitions. Here is a story rife with adventure, suspense, and a dash of humor, and it had me turning the pages deep into the night - and it will have you doing the same." - James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of THE EYE OF GOD and the SIGMA FORCE series

Epic struggle between good and evil focused on the control of children with "special abilities"
Kerry Alan Denney has created the beginnings of an epic tale of the ongoing battle between good and evil. The struggle is over the control of children with special gifts/abilities. The side for good believes in allowing free will. The other side believes in money.

Soulsnatcher is particularly chilling because of its far-reaching implications and realistic settings. Denney has created a tale of horror and the supernatural that has a definite air of plausibility. This gives the entire book an element of fear and an edge of suspense that is not easily maintained.

Denney is a writer of immense talent. His books consistently include characters that have multiple dimensions, depth, and personality that draw the reader into their tales. Quite simply, his characters become human. The writing is consistent throughout, with none of those nasty “writer speed bumps” that result in the reader being jolted back to awareness so often seen in much of modern writing today.

Soulsnatcher is a novel that is well worth reading and worth reading soon.

C.H. Ramsey
I picked up SOULSNATCHER expecting to be entertained. And I was. Denney knows how to tell a good story -- the pace was relentless, but not rushed, the action scenes were strong and the characters were compelling with well-planned histories -- and he tells it with heart and humor.

If you are looking for an enjoyable read, this paranormal thriller and X-men inspired fantasy would be a good choice. But, at least for me, what lingers after the end of the tale are larger issues of meaning: the commercialization and exploitation of talent, the commodification of labor, the purpose of education, the plight of children trapped in oppressive systems. This is more than just escapist fiction; it is a call to stand up for the vulnerable, a good story with a social conscience. Well done, Mr. Denney.
