  In this science fiction thriller by an LA Times bestseller, an assassin with the power to temporarily paralyze others helps with a hostage rescue. Robert Luxley has a biological problem he does not understand and cannot control: one touch from his bare skin and you’re paralyzed for fifteen minutes.  Lonely and isolated, he’s turned his “special trick” into a lucrative career as a hired killer. He thinks he’s one of a kind—until one day he’s confronted by a young girl named Cassandra, who tells him he’s not alone.  She has it too, and the two of them are not the only ones. Carriers can render anyone they touch blind, deaf, or otherwise senseless, in seconds.  Fearing discovery, Luxley follows Cassandra through a dark underground network of “Deprivers” in a desperate hunt for her missing brother Nicholas, taken hostage by a radical group of carriers with a terrifying agenda.  Luxley doesn’t know who to trust, or who is safe to touch, but he needs to learn Cassandra’s secrets fast. Praise for Deprivers “A book that gets under your skin and on your nerves. The science is impressive; the fiction is haunting. It has a lot on its mind; and it will touch you.” —Mark Frost, co-creator of Twin Peaks “Deprivers is the ultimate paranoia thriller—emphasis on the word thriller. Fans of everything from The Hot Zone to The X-Files take note, THIS BOOK IS GOING TO BLOW YOU AWAY!” — Rockne S. O’Bannon, creator of Alien Nation, Farscape, Defiance and Cult“Deprivers will take you to a terrifying and disturbing tomorrow and make you feel like you live there.” —David Brin, scientist and science fiction author, winner of the Hugo, Nebula, Campbell and Locus Awards

  Praise for the Dark Witch: 
  “Fans of urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and horror will find The Dark Witch impossible to put down.” - Readers Favorite 5 Star Seal 
  “Wood serves up heroes, action, and unrelenting danger like few dark fantasy adventure writers writing today. He is quick with humor that is threaded throughout the story in just the right amounts, has a talent for unfolding action, but always puts a lot of heart and pathos into his characters. Good versus evil is a staple in a lot of fantasy adventure novels, but Wood handles it with the skill of a well-oiled machine.” - Reader Views 5 Star Rating 
  “This book is an excellent choice for readers looking to delve into a rich high fantasy series.” - Literary Titan 5 Star Review
