Tyree Campbell’s novel Indigo is a fast-paced thriller in which the science fiction elements not only inform the plot, they are absolutely essential to it and drive it forward.
Matt Porter is a former soldier with a mission in life: to avenge the death of his brother during an unnecessary deployment in the Middle East. But when a shadowy government agency puts out the order to assassinate him, he is caught completely flat-footed. Only the timely intervention of an interested third party, represented by the beautiful Kerise Renaud, saves his life… but throws it into complete disarray.
On the run from the government and forced to employ the telekinetic power he has kept hidden from the world, Matt fights to stay alive while also trying to keep his plans for revenge moving forward.
This novel reads like a classic spy thriller, if the spies had psi powers. It weaves a tapestry of international intrigue where events in one place affect the actions of characters everywhere else. Driving this point home are the locales, that range from the glamorous—Paris—to the almost comically mundane—French Lick, Indiana… really. The action in each is equally critical to the final outcome, which is quite a telling commentary on globalization.
The book’s focus on telekinesis and psionic powers might not be every reader’s cup of tea, but I believe the science-fiction approach to the subject gives a different spin on the theme. Essentially, Campbell asks: What if a group of people with telekinetic powers begins to act against the interest of specific confidential government agencies? The rest of the novel puts that scenario into the familiar world of fast-paced novels of international espionage.
This is a wild ride that will keep you turning the pages as it moves—at breakneck speed—to its surprising conclusion.
