Only a strained personal life seems less than perfect. But when Ted, his partner, disappears, Colin is faced with two staggering possibilities: he might have been the real target and it could be the start of a plot against his father, a maverick Senator who may be the next President.<\/p>\n<p>The truth, however, goes far beyond even those unbelievable scenarios. There is a good reason that Colin excels effortlessly at virtually everything he does. There are also people willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars just to possess or control his abilities, and kill anyone who gets in their way. Colin may have to leave behind everything and everyone he knows, just to protect the people he loves the most.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Human-X-ebook\/dp\/B007UXJGKA\/ref=sr_1_4?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1336801694&amp;sr=1-4\" target=\"_blank\">Available on the Kindle<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/human-x-paul-mcelligott\/1110338150?ean=2940014547598\" target=\"_blank\">Available on the NOOK<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.createspace.com\/3846162\" target=\"_blank\">Available in Paperback<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For fast-rising Beltway lawyer Colin Jeffries, things were almost too good to be true.
