Book excerpt: SHATTERING JADE offers us that rare, highly-intelligent suspense story that probes the deeper issues of our generation right in the middle of a great adventure yarn. John Selby portrays entirely-believable yet ultimately heroic characters who push the limits of their beliefs and abilities they explore that dangerously-expanding new frontier where scientific fact and mystic realization merge and all too often explode in our faces. Inhabiting both primitive and hi-tech scenarios, and testing the limits of human love and trust, SHATTERING JADE explores the very-real possibility that overly-brilliant mind-terrorists could tap recent breakthroughs in consciousness research to malevolently influence people's thoughts and actions on a planetary scale. Directly in the middle of its driving suspense plot, Selby's novel also delivers mature sexual intrigue. The mysterious and spell-binding Mahalena Bernhardt continually provokes our hero beyond his limits, finally challenging him to an archetypal life-or-death encounter where the ceremonial fulfillment of their intimate involvement could determine the victory or failure of their mission. SHATTERING JADE brings numerous exotic locations into vivid life and pushes readers right to the very edge of their own cherished beliefs regarding what is illusion versus what is (perhaps lethally) all too real.
