Book Excerpt
Threat Level Red
Foreword
Mr. Corbin-Bey really shows his prowess as a brilliant light in the writing arena. I delighted in the fact that he takes his time and walks you through the lives of his characters. I was unknowledgeable of some aspects of how the world really works prior to reading this novel and I now find myself fascinated enough to stop and begin an elongated voyage into uncovering the mysteries of life entitled, “I didn’t know that”.
From the opening to the middle and on towards a remarkable and intriguing crescendo, I found myself unable to put this captivating novel aside. I wanted more and more I received. The mere fact that the author took his time and researched the nuances of all of the details to make this story wonderful…one would want to know…“Is this stuff really real?” “Are there really places like that?” “Can this happen”, “Am I really free, or just playing the part of a freed person that is directed to re-audition on a daily basis for something that is actually…a very bad movie?”
The world that we live in is a complicated place and there are factions within and around us daily that enables this thing to function somewhat. This publication shares some very intimate and scary facts that says, “In an instant, what you have worked on to create and call “Your World” can be taken from you immediately. You can be placed in a compromising position that would rival no other. IMAGINE that!
Mr. Corbin-Bey’s characters are real, the issues are real and he writes this novel in a manner which subconsciously causes you to turn the next page…
So sit back and Buckle up…and get ready for one helluva ride….and always remember The next time that you hear the words “Threat Level RED”…in the next instant…you might be dead!
