MINDREACHER, Book one
"Mindreacher," an international, psychological sci-fi, adventure thriller, is sold in paperback, ebook & audible formats.
Government agencies fail to find terrorists threatening the United States with nuclear weapons. To remedy that, the new President forms a highly classified operation with an Executive Order. The Virtual ExtraSensory Perception Experimental Research project (VESPER) is created and housed in secret facilities under the JFK runways.
VESPER leaders learn of South African 'mindreachers' born several decades ago. Rumored to have the ability to read minds over great distances, no one knows their current locations. A teacher and pilot, Ana Masterson, is identified stateside as a minor telepath. She is hired by VESPER to find a mindreacher and teamed with elite warrior and former SEAL, Major Jon Coulter, USMC.
Despising anyone psychic, Coulter reluctantly follows orders to protect Masterson and report to his superiors how telepathy may be used in combat. Supplied with the latest in espionage gadgets, including embedded nano-size satellite tracking transceivers, their search begins in Johannesburg, South Africa. Not wanting to be identified, every terrorist cell places Masterson and Coulter on their hit list.
Readers will find it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction in this Indiana Jones style of friendly beginnings filled with memorable dueling characters, suspenseful changes in venue, exotic scenes, epic actions and a chart busting climax.

In the first book of the MINDREACHER series, a 50-caliber ROBAR rifle is used by a Sri Lanka sniper in Laos assigned to kill the American telepath. In this image, with a similar rifle, author Irene Baron practices on a 1-inch thick steel target 500-yards distant to experience the feel of the weapon at a private firing range. The bulls-eye was hit continuously!
Baron was provided the firearms and ammunition by USMC veterans who gave her the "U.S. MARINE CORPS SCOUT/SNIPER TRAINING MANUAL" to study. She said, "You have to write about something you know. I needed to know what it was like to fire large caliber rifles and see how difficult it is to pinpoint your shot. After covering that section of my novel, my readers will know what it feels like to use a ROBAR sniper rifle."
Readers can learn more about Robar services and products at https://robarguns.com/place-an-order/precision-rifles/50-bmg/.
This initial action-packed suspense of the Mindreacher series blends future technology with telepathic activity. It has attracted a broad spectrum of followers of all ages. Editors and readers fall in love with the exciting adventures of the key characters. The international and multicultural aspects of the novels heighten the reader's awareness of existing countries, their culture, religions, and people.

SNIPER SHOOTING TARGET PRACTICE
Irene was taught to use different sniper rifles by members of the U.S. Marine Corps, retired. They supplied the USMC instruction manual she studied earlier, the firearms, ammunition and the private 500-yard rifle range in SE Ohio. The 3.5' X 3.5' square inch thick steel target had a white bullseye 12" in diameter. Her 50-caliber bullets punctured the target in the bullseye. By learning how to fire sniper rifles, she was better able to write about a sniper in the first book of the Mindreacher thriller series.
