Foertmeyer fans won't be disappointed!
C.H. Foertmeyer's ninth book is a departure from his previous genres of sci fi and fantasy. With The Threef Project, this prolific Cincinnati author tackles an action thriller at the encouragement of his fans. Foertmeyer fans won't be disappointed. This thriller is every bit as good as his award nominated sci fi / fantasy novels.
Dr. John Jennings is a small town family practice physician who loves his work and his life. Hatcher Creek Arkansas is a peaceful village, far removed from the traffic, noise, and polluted air of cities. Jennings, his wife Carrol, and children Timmy and Sally embark on their annual rough camping trip to a remote mountainous region not far from Hatcher Creek. The experience swiftly changes from idyllic recreation to danger when Jennings hikes to his favorite fishing lake in hopes of enjoying solitary time. He's driven into unfamiliar territory by a storm and takes refuge in a cave that smells strongly of exhaust fumes. Back at camp, his family sees an oil slick on a clear mountain stream. In Dr. Jennings' absence, his family is surrounded by men in military garb, blindfolded, and held hostage in an unknown location. The campsite is swept clean. An empty clearing greets Jennings on his return. He has no choice but to retrace his path in hopes the cave will yield clues to his family's disappearance.
When Jennings stumbles across the mountain home of Cordell Heartley, the odds of finding his missing family change to his favor. Heartley is a reclusive ex-Army Ranger, an experienced spelunker and warrior whose survival skills prove helpful to the bewildered Jennings. Using a natural underground cave system, they systematically track the smells of vehicle exhaust. What they find is shocking, a hidden military project underground where SUVs are transformed into bombs destined for Iraq. Those involved are patriots of a different stripe than Heartley, playing a dangerous game without the knowledge of their government. From that initial discovery the game becomes straight arrow Rangers vs. a few bad apples as the danger level increases exponentially with passing time. Heartley's investigation takes him from Arkansas to New Orleans to Iraq as he calls in favors from old friends and military contacts to prevent the deaths of innocent civilians. But the unprincipled predators hiding behind U.S. Army uniforms don't plan to give in without a fight. They'll eliminate Heartley if they have to, murder Jennings and his family if necessary to accomplish their illegal goals.
The Threef Project is fast paced and exciting. The plot is distinctive and definitely not a clone of every other action thriller out there. Heartley is a true patriot in the finest sense of the word, and John Jennings is a courageous common citizen caught in a frightening maze. This book is Foertmeyer's testament to the men of courage and honor -- both in and out of the military -- who love their country and do whatever it takes to protect it.

Thought provoking lessons on life
An imaginative story line and the author's thought provoking lessons on life made The Cats' Lair delightfully different. This is the second C.H. Foertmeyer book I've read and won't be the last. The way he tells a story is distinctly his own, and I like the way his mind works - "outside the box."
This unusual tale begins when Jim Preston finds an old map sealed in a mason jar while he's out metal detecting. The map is of Father Mountain in Colorado and an area named Cats' Lair. Jim Preston lives in Illinois and is so intrigued by the map that he decides a road trip is in order. His pal since childhood, Red Porter, takes time off work and tags along for the ride. In a sleepy little burg named Clermont, the friends stop to eat at the Hummingbird Cafe and meet a lovely young woman named Laura. Despite being a local, she knows nothing of the Cats' Lair but has hiked and camped on Father Mountain often. Jim and Red are decent, friendly sorts, so she agrees to guide them in their search.
The author does not keep his readers hanging long before the mystery of Cats' Lair is revealed. In a deep pristine forest that looks like man never stepped foot in it, the map leads them to their destination. The three adventurers breathe air untainted by the modern world, drink pure sweet water from a crystal lake, and stumble onto a realm hidden since time began.
An invisible portal leads Jim and Red into a secret world, manned by beings with powers beyond human comprehension. A benign Father - God? An Alien? - has placed these Observers and Guardians of the Kindred on Father Mountain from the day of Creation. Inside Cats' Lair, time is concentric, curvilinear, converging on itself in ways Jim and Red cannot decipher at first. They move forward and backward in time, searching for their own existence while Laura waits, lives out her life, and finally dies in old age without ever seeing them again. And that is just the beginning of this tale!
Except for some mild swear words, The Cats' Lair is suitable reading for teenagers and adults. The cover is sturdy and attractive and the print easy to read. And this is unusual for a subsidy publisher, but the price is the same whether purchased from the iUniverse, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble websites.
Good job, Mr. Foertmeyer! What's the next intriguing subject in your writer's repertoire?
