The Intruder Greg Krehbiel

The Intruder is a sci-fi/suspense novel set in the year 2065 in and around Washington, D. C. Jeremy Mitchell is a refugee from a separatist, anti-technology community who is a fish out of water in the high-tech society of the 21st century. He recklessly plunges into his new environment and find himself caught in a confusing web of technology and intrigue. After receiving his implant -- the late 21st century equivalent to a smart phone -- Jeremy begins to see, through his implant, images of people who are invisible to everyone else. Jeremy's doctor believes that these images are a psychosis brought on by rejection of the implant and she threatens to have him detained, drugged and evaluated. As he fights for both his sanity and his liberty, Jeremy becomes the pawn in a contest between powerful groups he doesn't understand. His loyalties are tested by a budding love affair with a young college student, who, along with her computer geek girlfriend, are dragged into the conflict. As Jeremy descends into an eerie cyber world he can't escape, he starts to uncover the real meaning of the apparent coincidences that have placed him in the middle of the most important conflict of the decade. The fast-paced action and suspense don't slow down until the climactic and surprising conclusion.
