The Talos Project

by Bret Wheadon

Overview

In a quiet Northwestern town, people have begun to vanish. Fathers and mothers who work at U.S. Defense contractor ICOS Industries are being called in to work - and don't come back. As the toll mounts, three friends feel that something sinister is growing behind the silent walls of ICOS; something that is willing to do ANYTHING to hide its secret. Miles, Dave and Vanessa find themselves pitted against a creation that blends ancient mythology with mind-bending, futuristic technology in a terrifying hybrid - a creation which threatens not only their families and town, but the entire world!

About the Author

I have been a childen's librarian since September 1994. I earned a Bachelor's degree in English with an emphasis in Children's Literature.

I have always loved to read, as well as sing. I am currently a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which I joined in 2002; and in the past I have appeared in numerous theatrical productions around the Wasatch Front.

I'm told I have a dynamic reading style and wide knowledge of children's literature. My favorite authors include: Roald Dahl, Frances Hodgson Burnett, L.M. Montgomery, John Christopher, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Dickens, Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Agatha Christie, Rex Stout, J.K. Rowling, Jonathan Stroud, Jack McDevitt, and Isaac Asimov.

My favorite treat is chocolate cake doughnuts with chocolate frosting and nuts (hint, hint).

Despite enjoying high cultural works by authors such as William Shakespeare, Charlotte Brontë, and Charles Dickens, I possess a hidden dark side:

...I have an affinity for cheesy science fiction movies, like The Brain From Planet Aros, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and The Green Slime. (It really drives my friends crazy!)
