Psychic Warrior: Warfare in the Virtual World Kindle Edition

by Bob Mayer (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 113 ratings
See all formats and editions
Based on an actual military program. Men Who Stare At Goats was based on a real program, Trojan Warrior, which the author was part of. This book takes that to the next level.

The Russians sink the submarine USS Thresher in 1963 using their classified psychic project, but something goes awry and all are killed. Except one scientist who plans to take the project to a higher level. Decades later, the Russians unleash Chyort, also known as the ‘Devil’. Chyort is a cyborg that can project into the virtual world with almost limitless power and reassemble his avatar anywhere in real world to wreak havoc. When the Russian mafia steals 20 nuclear warheads to auction them to the highest bidder, Chyort implements his own plan of revenge.

Sergeant Major Jimmy Dalton and a small team of US Green Berets who were originally trained in the classified Trojan Warrior program are thrust into the Psychic Warrior program. The team must battle a Russian avatar on the virtual plane and then take their own avatars into the real world. Their mission seems simple. Stop Chyort. If they fail? World War III.

Psychic Warrior takes warfare into the virtual plane through avatars and then reinserts the covert operatives into the real world. The results can be devastating. Mayer uses his real Military experience in the then-classified Special Forces Trojan Warrior program and writes a novel about the new frontier of warfare: the mind.

This is the future of Special Operations Warfare.

Library Journal: “A heart-pounding thriller about the emergence of a deadly avatar. The panorama of modern warfare and the details of hand-to-hand combat encounters add excitement. Inventive, entertaining, and realistic adventure. Highly recommended.”

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Best combination of technothriller and science fiction this year!" Publishers Weekly reference The Rock.
"Fascinating, imaginative and nerve-wracking!" reference SYNBAT.
"Spell-binding!" Terry Brooks reference Atlantis series.
"Quantum Leap on steroids!" reference Time Patrol.

From the Author

My A-Team was the control team for the Jedi Warrior Program, renamed Trojan Warrior, in the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne). It was designed to advance the already elite Green Beret to another level. I also was briefed on the First Earth Battalion. I used elements of this and ongoing research and insights into what the Soviets were doing during the Cold War to write this book. Hope you enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Psychic Possibilities Explored Beautifully
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2013

Bob Mayer weaves a great tale here. Of special interest to me as a novice writer is the way he exposes mind-bending technology in a matter-of-fact way. Though his psychic warriors possess magical technology, they do not seem to be science fiction characters. I believe in them as a reader. Maybe it is the author's past as a Green Beret which gives his word a kind of real special cache. Anyway I felt like I was being given a peak at real Special Ops not science fiction.
Mayer's plot never stops. He winds the reader up like a spring and unloads him or her into new scenes seamlessly. Lots of other reviewers will go into the details of his story so I do not need to. Don't get me wrong: the story is a real humdinger. Further to the author's suspension of disbelief in the reader concerning the impact of technology is the hint that the military in on the verge of playing god with its new as yet undisclosed technologies. I seriously enjoyed the undramatic way these (kind of) subliminal messages filtered under the gloss of hi-tech situations. This is my first book by Bob Mayer. I will now read the rest of his books. Nothing like discovering a new writer to plough through.

Excellent story telling, character building, story-line and set up for future stories. Would have been 5 stars but for me the ending was just a bit melodramatic and left me wanting more. I will definitely read more from Bob Mayer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grabs you by the seat of your pants and will not let you go

Are you looking for a great book that will grab you by the seat of your pants and will not let you go until you finish the book? If so, Psychic Warrior by Bob Mayer is definitely the book for you. This fast paced, action packed thriller kept me glued to the pages from page one to the end.

The author did an excellent job of developing a story that was full of intrigue and plot twist. Yet, at the same time it was easy to read and follow. With the fast pace of the book and all the action it will keep you breathless.

Bob Mayer has created a cast of characters that are very believable and easy to identify with. I found myself putting myself in the story and following along with our hero on his adventures. I really like when I can identify with a character like this, it makes the story come alive.

I really liked Psychic Warrior by Bob Mayer and I highly recommend it to all readers.

[Please note: I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.]

3.0 out of 5 stars Taut, fast-paced action-scifi
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
Great combination of classic historical reads but with scifi and time travel themes. A bit heavy on military, but to be expected, given author's background.

Biggest gripe? Predictability. Think I'll check reviews on his other works before purchasing.

Biggest wish? Less planetary, more galactic. So many possibilities.

While the plot and concept at first seemed entirely implausible, as with so many of Mr. Mayer's books, I was soon drawn in.
Awsome early morning read. Got this volume free, and enjoyed it so much that I bought the sequel (Project Aura) as soon as I finished.
Bob Mayer's books never fail to satisfy, entertain and even educate.
Psychic Warrior is pure entertainment and well worth the time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Special Forces Action with a Sci-Fi twist
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012
Verified Purchase
I just counted and it turns our I currently have 14 Bob Mayer novels on my Kindle. Psychic Warrior is the 5th Mayer novel I have read. I have enjoyed them all, and I am looking forward to reading another Mayer thriller very soon.

Psychic Warrior is very off-beat and the psychic twist adds a big element to the fighting and suspense in this thriller. Love the villian (Chyort (the devil)) and all the sub-plots to this story. It appears Bob Mayer cannot write a bad book, the 5 I have read have all been 4-5 stars easy. The author knows his stuff when it comes to special forces. I hope there is enough fan interest to get Bob to write a 2nd Psychic Warrior novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale that I had been waiting to explore in my own writing
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2012
Verified Purchase
I didn't drown in the technology, but then this is up my alley. I loved the historical perspective as well as the difference in the moral compass of the two opposing teams.

I was pleasantly surprised with nearly all aspects of this book. Including the MC visiting his wife in the hospital while in OPS mode.

I say nearly, because while the ending was good, and fully what I expected, I feel it was just shy of the rest of the book. I know Bob Mayer is a superior writer, so to tell me about the ended was a bit disappointing. Nothing I haven't been accused of myself, but maybe that's why I'm more critical of these kind of endings.

Overall, a great book and well worth the purchase. On to his next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Warrior Monks in Action
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2013

I first came across the modern concept of warrior monks 30 or so years ago in an Army professional magazine article by LTC John Alexander. The Gravel Stream remote viewing program was acknowledged later on. Mr Mayer has brought the concept up to date with this fast paced action novel based on psychotronic abilities. It wouldn't surprise me if we didn't have soldiers today with some degree of ability in this regard. Highly enjoyable fiction work by a proven author.

Scritto in un inglese scorrevole e pieno di slang il romanzo si snoda accattivante davanti a noi. Ci entriamo dentro e viviamo in prima persona i trip dei psychic warrior. Libro eccezionale. Ho preso anche il secondo libro e non vedo l'ora di immergermi nella appassionante lettura.
