Hunger for Annihilation

by Jon Wesick

Someone's murdering mystics. Arab-American undercover FBI agent Rebecca Haddad infiltrated the Merry Disciples of Oneness a group of spiritual dilettantes who seem connected to the deaths. Agent Haddad follows them through ashrams and Zen centers in search of the killer, a male anorexic with a twisted plan to cleanse the world."Jon's wildly vivid imagination conjures up characters and scenarios that entertain, intrigue and transport the reader on a fantastic journey to bold and weird new lands." - Dylan Barmmer, Word is Born"Jon Wesick's great skill for story telling is shining in this work. His imagination runs deep, along with attention to detail and a certain playfulness that is infectious. We are offered a thoughtful voyage of words." - Jerry Danielsen, Los Angeles Poets Press."Just dawn a favorite outfit, lock the door (twice), turn off all phones and devices, (a tall cool glass of Chardonnay is optional) then wait for a dark wind to blow and a door to slam somewhere. Then cautiously proceed through Wesick's garden of double identities with seeds and sprouts hungry as obliteration is sweet." - Richard Weekley"With vivid and detailed imagery, in poetic language, Jon Wesick gives the reader fascinating and well-developed characters in this story of mystery, intrigue and surprise. With a touch of science fiction, fantasy, and surrealism, he immerses the reader in our world of contemporary terrorism, ethical and moral values, and societal issues." - Sylvia Levinson, Author Spoon and Gateways"From dysfunctional families in the US, to politics in the Middle East, Hunger for Annihilation takes the reader on a compelling journey." - Kathy Krohn"It is a rare writer who can take you into the heads of so many drastically different characters and leave you feeling empathy for all of them. Wesick can grab you around the throat with even the most mundane of daily activities, and turn them deftly into surprises without resorting to gratuitous shocks. So many novelists reduce their minor characters to Dickensian stereotypes, but in Wesick's hands, even the clueless, foolish parents who drive their brilliant child into an eating disorder come across as real people about whom one might care. Even when you can't figure out what the book is saying or where it is going next, you still want to keep reading just to find out." - Robert Lundy
