Mark Taylor discovers first hand that no good deed goes unpunished when the old camera he found in a dusty Afghanistan bazaar gives him more than great photos. It triggers dreams of disasters--tragedies that happen exactly as he envisions them.
Back home in Chicago, he learns that not only can he see the future, but he can change it. Unable to let people die if he can stop it, Mark is compelled to risk his life to help others, but then the unthinkable happens and his failed attempts to prevent 9/11 bring him to the attention of the Feds. They claim his warning of the terrorist act and his trip to Afghanistan prove he's connected. The name they have for Taylor isn't reluctant hero--it's enemy combatant. With no rights and no trial, Mark's thrown in the brig where he discovers that being held as an enemy combatant means they can do anything they want to him. *Anything at all.*

### Review
**Winner of 2011 Red Adept Reviews Indie Awards for Thriller/Suspense**
5 Stars *"The plot to the novel was not only unique, but it was wonderfully executed. Mark Taylor was a deep, complex character. He was a good hero, but had enough flaws to be completely believable." *--Red Adept Reviews
* "The author also makes you sit back and think about what is going on in the world of our anti-terrorism policies. Prior to reading this book, I had one set of preconceived notions of what is acceptable or not for those labeled as enemy combatants; about a third of the way through I found myself rethinking my own idea of what is the right thing to do. From the plot lines, getting into the head of the character, and the overall writing style I found I didn't want to put this book down." ***~Michael Gallagher (Amazon Top 10 Reviewer, Hall of Fame Reviewer) **
* "I certainly will not complain about self published authors, I love them and their works. What I will say, is that I am surprised this book has not been picked up yet by a major publisher. This book in well crafted on all accounts. It is immensely readable, and will grab your attention and refuse to relent."*** ~Ionia Martin (Amazon Top 500 Reviewer)**

*"Twenty years ago this book couldn't have been written. Partly because the events of 9/11 figure into the plot, but more importantly because the actions of the government would have been unthinkable pre-9/11. "No Good Deed" is both entertaining and suspenseful, but, regardless of your politics, should get you thinking."** **~BigAl (Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer)***
