Produktbeschreibung

Mateus Cordozo has just returned to his hometown of Afife, Portugal, a short vacation where he hopes to reconcile his midlife crisis, what he sees as his failure as a man - far from his "normal" life as a bioengineer back in Sweden. With two bottles of wine, cheese and freshly baked bread, he finds a secluded spot on a blustery beach where he is certain that no one will interrupt his soul-searching. His solitude is interrupted when a beautiful woman, almost too perfect, appears and asks to sit with him. Mateus is beside himself, because women rarely ever show any interest in him. Their conversation soon hits a brick wall when she announces her true purpose in seeking him out, which sends Cordozo into a mental spin, adamantly rejecting her claims as ridiculous and outlandish, at which he promptly ends their conversation. He tries to forget the bizarre dialogue, but everywhere he goes, people and the media, are talking about nothing else. His inner demons strike back, compelling him to take the "safe road", the story of his life, and the very reason he now finds himself in Afife and standing on the precipice. Should he take the leap of faith? Should he believe the stranger? Or should he take the "safe bet" and just crawl back into his shell? As the zero-hour nears, he must act before it is too late - but will he? "... a high concept thriller that is comparable with the best of Dan Brown or Jack Higgins." Novelist, David Luddington "This is a fast paced read but the plot contains complex ideas which adds a depth to the book. Full of action and real life scenarios this is one of those books you can spend hours reading without realizing where the time has gone. There are plenty of surprises and twists. This book will appeal to crime and science fiction fans. And will also interest those intrigued by geopolitical themes." The Portugal News "The story races along with pace of a Tom Clancy thriller but the depth of the plot is rich in complexities philosophical ideas. Highly recommended for readers who like fast paced thrillers but with an ingenious twist." Book-Reviewer.com "I definitely recommend Twilight Visitor by Real Laplaine as a five star read to all audiences fond of international political thrillers. It has an awesome, suspenseful plot that can be described as an out of this world political intrigue!" BlogCritics.org

Autorenporträt

Inspired by Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions and The Bridge Across Forever, I discovered not only a passion to write, but also a channel, a means of helping to raise awareness in a world where people, trying to change things for the better, were being fought and silenced, where racism, greed and war were commonplace, and a society that was being dumbed down primarily through a system of "education", cultural propaganda and ideology - both political and religious. I write high-concept thrillers and speculative fiction in geopolitical, crime, sometimes bordering on science fiction, and often times inspiring stories. I love story-telling and especially, I enjoy weaving my stories with compelling and eye-opening perspectives about the world we live in and hopefully, inspiring my readers to see a better vision, a higher one and a world where the good guys win and actual peace and justice is possible.
