MIRACLE MAN
WRITTEN BY: WILLIAM R. LEIBOWITZ
REVERED REVILED REMARKABLE
The victim of an unspeakable crime, an infant rises to become a new type of superhero. Unlike any that have come before him, he is not a fanciful creation of animators. He is real. So begins the saga of Robert James Austin, the greatest genius in human history. But where did his extraordinary intelligence come from? As agents of corporate greed vie with rabid anti-Western radicals to destroy him, an obsessive government leader launches a bizarre covert mission to exploit his intellect. Yet Austin's greatest fear is not of this world. Aided by two exceptional women, one of whom will become his unlikely lover, Austin struggles against abandonment and betrayal. But the forces that oppose him are more powerful than even he can understand.

WOW- I am
just astonished! Not often do I get to read books I would rate with 5 stars,
but this book I would even go higher if they allowed it! What a talented writer
and an awesome book. Do yourself a favor and pick it up, clear a day or two,
and make yourself comfortable with this book. I read this all at one time and
well past my bedtime. It was worth it!
This starts
out with a man walking in a pretty desolate part of town with a garbage bag in
hand. He is thinking to himself of where it all went wrong and how far down him
and his high school sweetheart had gone. All the drugs and chaos and it all has
led him to what he is about to do. He throws away the bag, later we find out it
is a baby boy. Peter and Edith Austin come to the rescue at their social worker
friends pleading. Robert James Austin is what they decided to name the baby
boy.
Bobby is
quite a remarkable young man. At 4 years old his parents take him in to be seen
as he is having severe nightmares and he spaces off quite regularly. Bobby
amazes doctor after doctor. He ends up in a ‘special’ school (much to his
parents sadness) run by the OSSIS. There they help him to learn to use his
extreme intelligence. The OSSIS have big plans for Bobby. Bobby’s brain is
constantly working and keeping him busy. A lot of the time he is fighting
himself. He is so good-hearted. I just love him. There are times you want to
give him a hug and cry for and with him.
After his
parents pass Bobby decided to go into the medical field. Oh the miracles this
boy can do! This is not what the OSSIS had in mind. Bobby wants to help others,
cure them, and fix them. He wants to use his intelligence for good, meanwhile
there are so many that are against him and out to get him. You will have to
read it to see how it all turns out. I loved Dr. Manzini. He treated Bobby like
a son. He helped Bobby to see and do what he wanted/needed to. He wanted Bobby
to have his own path and not the path that others choose for him. I loved that.
I am giving
this book 5 stars. They are Huge ones though. This is one of my favorite books
this year. I am hoping for another book. This is not a cliffhanger but there is
room for more. I will eagerly await. Thank you.
