Excerpt
"Emptiness took him. He'd used the bracelet again, and anything could happen. But it was too much for him, and too much for any man or woman to resist. A thing like the bracelet shouldn't be allowed to exist under the sight of God, but Mike now had to face the fact that it did. He could do anything with it. Elation filled the hole inside him. If God had allowed the bracelet to exist, it must be a part of his design. Unless, of course, he had somehow gone above all that, above God. Why worry about religious questions if the bracelet could give him any kind of power he wanted? Screw God, he could be him, if he wished it.
Mike Alex laughed at himself, smiled in the faint light, and caught the glint of his eyes in the mirror. In the next room, Rhonda turned over, mumbling to herself. To cover his actions, even though he didn't need to, Mike Alex flushed the toilet, and left the bathroom. He slept soundly that night."

From the start of the book, the reader begins to get to know Mike, his circumstances, his feelings and most everyone can certainly feel for him as we’ve all been in those shoes at least once or twice. Once Mike receives the mysterious bracelet, his whole world changes. For good or ill? Well, that’s for the reader to discover and also to decide for themselves.
The characters, the plot were all a fascinating mix that will hold readers attention and also make them begin a self-examination of their own inner selves. The book leaves the reader with interesting questions after the last page is turned which is the mark of a wonderful title.
Mr. Cheney has written a superb piece of fiction that will appeal to all readers, even if it’s not usually their cup of tea so to speak. Mike Alex has an appeal that any man or woman can identify with.
