Customer Review: Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers.A truly entertaining first novel, July 5, 2001Reviewer:Midwest Book Review(see more about me)from Oregon, WI USAThe self publishing world nets many surprises and delights for readers who crave something more than just business as usual. Benjamin E. Ruark provides us with a truly entertaining first novel that is a bit off of the beaten path.Saigher McGrail is large and gentle. He is a Chicago Renaissance man in more ways than one. He lost his wife, Katrina, in a plane crash that should have also taken him. But he was sent back. He gives an interesting description of his "near-death" experience in the hospital on the night of the crash:"Kat had also given up possession of her body. I instantly knew it. I passed through a nurse attending to Kat. Saw the nametag on the nurses gown, Emily. She shuddered and screamed when I went inside her. I saw her leg go of the defibrillators paddles she held for the doctor who wanted to restart Kats stilled heart. The surgeon masks on the faces circling Kat were all moving at once. But their voices were of the physical world, where the only thing of interest to me was Kats lifeless body. Kats spirit was gone. Waiting for me at the chapel."Saigher abandons his prior calling as a clinical psychologist to start his own business, RecoveryTravel.com as a guide for people whos lives have been derailed by trauma. His client, for this tales purposes, is Dr. Leslie Pollitte, Director of a joint university and hospital sponsored Xenotransplantation Research Program run by Minnesota University and the IGH (Inver Grove Heights) Medical Center. Her problem is that she knows there is something wrong with the research, but doesnt have the courage to track the problem herself.Saigher, and his personal guardian angel he calls First Clue fly into danger to uncover a trail of deceit and mishandling of genetic material that is affecting the population. It is the old tale of science being compromised by financial gain. Not only does Mr. Ruark disseminate details of the coverup in an entertaining and understandable arena, he makes us laugh with Saighers nonconformist speech, ideas and mannerisms. First Clue is a enjoyable ride, and Saigher is a hero who confuses, tantalizes, and makes us laugh.Shelley Glodowski, ReviewerWas this review helpful to you?
