Head Games

by Tim Downs



      For Cale Caldwell life is good. He has married a wonderful woman, has a loving and devoted young daughter, a job he enjoys and a beautiful home in Charlotte, North Carolina.

During Desert Storm, Dale had served with 2 other men, Pug and Kirby in what was known as the Army's PsyOps Group. Their job was to create propaganda in an attempt to wage a psychological warfare with the enemy. The pamphlets they created would affect so many soldiers that they often surrendered just on the basis of what these men had written.

Now Cale's life is about change as tragedy after tragedy occurs, threatening all that Cale holds dear. Are these tragedies just fate or the work of a single mind that is now waging its own campaign? An act of psychological warfare against the very men that who experts at the game. Was it a game? A Head Game, where the winner takes all, including the lives of the losers?

Can Cale and his friends stand tough in the face of this adversary?

Will they believe the games the man has devised or can they hold to the Truth that they know?

This was a very suspenseful book written about a part of the Dessert Storm War or any war that I had not really considered. It was amazing to think that words on a piece of paper could affect the way that the enemy fought and sometimes lost the war.

Tim Downs has created a wonderful sense of place and time, drawing the reader into the story and the lives of the men this madman affected.
