Captain Zack Adams is the only American who can identify an elusive terrorist, codenamed Chameleon. Disfigured and emasculated during his Delta Force unit's failed attempt to neutralize the menacing terrorist, Adams is airlifted to an American military hospital, but his stay there is short-lived. When Adams is reported missing from the hospital, Pentagon officials surmise he has been abducted by terrorists who want to protect Chameleon's hidden identity. Adams's wife, Molly, becomes severely depressed when she learns her husband has been reported missing in action, and their teenage son, Pete, undergoes an abrupt personality change and becomes incorrigible. Working from a secret military base in the Middle East, an unconventional C.I.A. counterterrorism specialist, Jack "Tarzan" Trzanky, takes matters into his own hands, and masterminds a plan to neutralize Chameleon, locate the missing captain and restore domestic tranquility to the home of Molly and Pete Adams. Tarzan prefers working alone, but he realizes his latest plan will require the assistance of a skilled operator. Her name is Mia.
“In this psychological thriller, Dr. Remakus skillfully explores the minds of terrorists, covert operatives and military families whose loved ones are missing in action, handling sensitive issues in an insightful and tasteful manner. Mounting suspense, intricate sub-plots and unpredictable outcomes highlight this timely page-turner.” – Mark A. Novitsky, Jr., M.D., psychiatrist
“Unique characters, plots and dialogue leap out of Mia’s pages, and challenge the reader to reconsider a number of traditional beliefs and values. Dr. Remakus’s portrayal of covert military action, family dysfunction and American education is spot-on, and his novel’s seamless transitions from one sub-plot to another make Mia a must-read.” – David J. Blocki, counselor, educator and combat veteran

Mia Bernard Leo Remakus ISBN 9781600476150 pages 144 Mia is very intriguing with the twists and drama the characters go through. You will never guess what is going to happen next, an may get lost as you read. I have read Mia four times and everytime I have read things that I had missed the first time. The love scenes had to the intensity of the story as well. The characters are the best part of the story: A teen with anger inssues, and a depressed woman who is married, and the disfigured hero. The story describes their personalities to the "T". I recommend this book to anyone and everyone looking for a great read. Mia will keep you interested the whole way without you losing interests.
