For those who haven't been following Stillness, let me introduce you to Reuben Stone. Reuben is a former CIA agent, a man of action, and a realist. In Part 1, his world got rocked first by meeting the lovely Ksenia, and then by being forced to play a very nasty game. Reuben has a soft side, which was called into play in sending him on his current quest. He has only just begun to open himself up to the possibility that the world might be a little more mysterious than he originally thought.
That's definitely a step in the right direction, but nothing could possibly prepare him for the challenges he is about to face.
Still not reading Stillness? Well, what the heck are you waiting for? Reuben is back!
