Description Concering Books The Touch (Adversary Cycle #3)

Suddenly, a family physician can heal any illness with a simple touch.

After a dozen years of practicing medicine as a family physician, Dr. Alan Bulmer discovers one day that he can cure any illness with the mere touch of his hand. At first his scientific nature refuses to accept what is happening to him, but there is no rational explanation to be found. So Alan gives himself over to this mysterious power, reveling in the ability to cure the incurable, to give hope to the hopeless—for one hour each day.

Although he tries to hide his power, word inevitably leaks out, and soon Alan’s life begins to unravel. His marriage and his practice crumble. Only rich, beautiful, enigmatic Sylvia Nash stands by him. And standing with her is Ba, her Vietnamese gardener, who once witnessed a power such as Dr. Bulmer’s in his homeland, where it is called Dat-tay-vao. And the Dat-tay-vao always comes with a price.

Help arrives from an unexpected quarter—Senator James McCready offers the use of his family’s medical foundation to investigate Alan’s supposed power. If it truly exists, he will back Alan with the full weight of the Foundation’s international reputation. Feeling that he has reached bottom and that things can only get better, Alan accepts McCready’s offer. But he has only begun to pay.

Write-Up About Books The Touch (Adversary Cycle #3)

This is the definition of subtle horror: no overt trappings of the genre (no vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, etc.) just a well told story with a few outlandish elements woven into it that evoke creepiness and leave you unsettled. F. Paul Wilson is very good at his craft. Completely drawn in, and the payoff, while not always what you want it to be, is logical and satisfying.

"Not a horror novel in the usual sense," according to the San Francisco Chronicle. That seems a fair statement about this genre-bending novel. Alan Bulmer is a good-guy primary care doc, one who cares so much about his patients he makes Marcus Welby look cold-hearted. Ok, so his concern for little Jeffy, suffering with profound autism, isn't totally disconnected from his interested in Jeffy's mother, but hey, the guy's only human, right? And he's avoided inappropriate entanglements, even though

Didnt really think this was a horror book. Nothing about it was scary or made me want to turn on the lights. But that said, I enjoyed the book.

Engaging and HeartbreakingA slow burner that pulls you into the life of a doctor who truly desires to heal, but whose new found power is as dangerous as it is amazing. Along the way we see people have their hope restored, their faith kindled, and the ability to love regained...but at a high cost.

This was one of the first novels I ever read, and it captivated me... sucked me in... moved me... and helped to foster my love of incredible story telling. It was the first book that made me cry. It's been over 30 years since I read it, and I'm afraid to read it again... afraid that I won't experience it like I did the first time.

I don't rate this low because it's horrible I rate it low because it never engaged me. I never got interested. I could not...could not get involved.I've never been as taken with the Adversary Cycle as I am with the Repairman Jack books. I stared back into them (I read the first years ago) because the plot/s overlap with Repairman Jack.Here we have a plot that isn't bad. It's very much like a plot idea that's been around for a long time and seen in many stories...The Monkey's Paw, The Bottle Imp
