"Never Been to Mars," the first novel by up-and-coming Canadian author Larry Gent, features the return of telepathic cowboy Benedict Thompson as he tries to discover the truth behind a world filled with espionage, mystery, suspense, and murderous celebrities! Told with wit as only Gent can, "Never Been to Mars" will keep you on the edge of your seat... then make you fall off it laughing.
Benedict Thompson is a psychic. He can touch an item and see its past. If he touches a pen he sees everybody who used it. If he touches a shoe he sees everything that went into making that shoe. If he touches a motel bed he sees --- well not all things are meant to be seen.
But when Ben's nephew goes missing, kidnapped outside his own school, Ben calls upon the powers he loathes to locate him and falls hat-first into the dark underbelly of the world we all thought we knew.
