Dr. Labriola's latest story, The Saga of Hodge, is both a fantasy and mystery thriller. As stated in its prologue: Consider the premise of isolated deaths in ordinary families being orchestrated by a crazed, master villain with mystical powers Hodge. He peers down from his Land of the Recovered; shaping lives; influencing the destiny of nations; determining which individuals should live or die; and whether the deaths should be of natural or unnatural causes. He targets people on Earth, claims their souls and then, later on, returns them to Earth as different people, all under his control. They are his Army of Drones. But when he experiences the meaning of love, he undergoes a transformation as shocking as those he had ordered for thousands of years. Is he to blame for the radical change? Or is someone else? It is a deftly crafted plot with memorable characters and all manner of twists, turns and surprises. Your imagination will be piqued... a sense of fear aroused.
