Mark Tedesco's Review of Jeff Bailey's

 The Defect

I knew I would like this book [The Defect] when I read the first lines, as a Beach Boys song blared out from the cab of a pickup truck. The story winds its way into thoughts and feelings as the characters seem so real.

I found myself experiencing the sounds of a nuclear reactor in the US; the hums and lights seem so routine as the story starts out mild but interesting because the characters are three dimensional. Brian Sing, Alex James and other characters bring the reader into a world of stability and threat, routine and unbalance, humanity and extremism.

As the plot builds (I do not want to give it away) the reader becomes drawn into a world of international terrorism, possible nuclear disaster and the conflict of ideologies.

! wasn’t sure if the characters were meant to represent certain groups or ideas, so I just took them at face value: individuals, without reading into it.

A series of events ensues which keeps the story riveting, with an unknown outcome as the events spiral forward.

What seems so strong appears so fragile at the end of the story, a balance holding humanity together and keeping it from the brink.

The knowledge and background of the author gives a realism to this story that is extremely convincing.

Well done, Jeff Bailey!

-Mark Tedesco, author of “She Seduced Me: A Love Affair with Rome”
