Back Cover / Synopsis
Meta-Humans. The Government’s official designation for enhanced individuals with special abilities. When the Feds come across the unexplained, they call upon Derreck Meyer, a high-profile investigative consultant with a reputation for getting things done, clean and by the book. The ironic twist, Meyer does not believe in Meta-Humans. Having served the Feds for too many years with an impeccable track record, Meyer has yet to find undeniable proof of Meta-Human activity. This is where Andrea Winter comes in. Meyer’s assistant and protégé brings a new set of perspectives while assisting the seasoned investigative veteran.
Tag along on this caper and witness how Meyer’s Team gathers the evidence and formulates every plausible theory trying to solve the Fed’s latest unexplained open case investigation. As his relationship with his protégé evolves, Meyer can’t shake his gut feeling that this case doesn’t add up. Will this be the reality-altering case that finally reveals the true existence of Meta-Humans ?
All we can say is that this story has it all, Intrigue, Romance, Spec Ops, Family-Oriented healthy living and an emotional roller-coaster. This fast-paced saga will introduce you to amazing original characters as Meyer’s investigation gets tangled up with the remnants of ancient WWII Nazi’s Occult circle. We invite you to witness but a mere Chapter in the Grand scheme of things, yet, one of the most Epic confrontations between Good and Evil.
To quote Andrea Winter, - “Hold on, this ain’t no Saturday morning Dog-Detective story.”
The statement
Reviews and Reader Comments
I wanted to thank all the readers for all the magnificent comments and support. I’m humbled. I did not expect such feedback. Being featured in The National Post and on Ottawa City News Radio was already a greater honor than I dared hope for. But I must confess I never imagined, in my wildest dreams, actually being compared to other authors (even if I only recognize one of the three). It’s all greatly appreciated, and far exceeds all of my expectations.
Thank you all for your support, remain Driven, and God Bless.

READERS’ CHOICE BOOK AWARDS
A unique and imaginative sci-fi and action-adventure novel, by author Mike Lorenz
Author: Mike Lorenz
Title: The Drive
Review completed: March 2023
This is a unique and imaginative sci-fi and action-adventure novel, […] mystery and a touch of romance. Overall, this is an interesting concept, […] there is plenty of action, there are large amounts of description and dialogue[…].
The book crosses several genres (science-fiction, religion, the occult, romance, WWII) […].
But to us here at The Drive, the true story, is that Reader’s Choice awards a Professional Engineer with a 4 out of 5 star rating on his very first novel…
Moreover, the review’s (very few) less than positive comments were already anticipated, as they all pertained to what five-percenters have raved about this novel.
(We had previously documented on this matter. You could call this one (The Drive) a Five-Percenter. Over-active and over-analytical minds often require more to be entertained.)
i.e. the elaborate back-and-forth between timelines and the detail-rich descriptive narrative that brings a much-appreciated, and sought after, fourth-wall-breaking epic-cinematic environment that breaks away from more conventional and main-stream linear story-telling.
Again, we thank you all for your support and God Bless.
