SAVE HIM BY WILLIAM M. HAYES

Save Him, by William M. Hayes, is a lot of fun to read. As if Michael Crichton wrote a screenplay for Mission Impossible. Maybe with Q from James Bond thrown in for good measure. Let’s start with him. In this case, Rydel Scott is a most likable, nerdy, quiet mannered genius who invents many plot-related devices guaranteed to make this MI team – here called simply The Unit – as effective a special ops cadre as any SEAL or British MI6 gang comprised of top-notch fighting men and women. Like masks that morph into local features, controlled and altered by someone far away. And instant translators. All well and good. But when a nasty incident during one mission reveals a newly designed salvation chip’s extraordinary ability to transport a person through space and time … well then, all holy fun begins. Literally.

Save Him is the totally appropriate if perhaps ironic title of William M. Hayes imaginative thriller, which moves locomotive-like from a secret-government-base-research-facility to a black-ops-foreign-operation to a lone-likable-man’s desperately risky attempt to save the life of Jesus Christ. Of course, he travels back in time to do so. After all, Rydel Scott discovered (or was God-chosen to discover) how to manage that improbable feat. And off he goes. And things get quite weird afterward. A reptilian girl. A rabid man-dog. Stuff like that. One would think perhaps such a tale might become unreadable. Surprise: Mr. Hayes’s writing is mostly very good. Despite an extremely high incredulity factor, the reader’s interest remains fixed by the story’s high-octane momentum. Hayes actually pulls this off. In any event, it’s a whole lot of fun.
