Thirteen year old Blair Sandburg, temporarily misplaced on the streets of Denver by his mother, was taken under the wing of Vin Tanner, another homeless boy. Together they brought the authorities down on a psychotic psychologist who carried out his mind control experiments on helpless children.

Fifteen years later a disturbing chance encounter causes Blair to search out Vin again and reveals the doctor they thought died in a fire was instead recruited by the CIA for his manipulative skills. When Vin and Blair fall into the doctor's hands, Chris Larabee and Jim Ellison, with help from Ezra, join forces to track them down. It proves to be even harder than they imagined.

Gil Hale excels at twisty, action-packed stories. Enjoy!

The sequel, Demolition Men, accomplishes the remarkable feat of being edge-of-your-seat exciting on first read, and hilarious in retrospect.

Title: When She Smiles
Pairing: Dr. Who/Abby Sciuto
Author on LJ: azarsuerte
Author Website: Probable Impossibilities

Why this must be read:

Dr. Who has company. To entertain her, he takes her for a ride in the TARDIS, back to early America.

It was humans like Abby Sciuto that kept bringing him back to Earth. Humans like her who were the reason the species continued to survive and thrive despite being witness to some of the worst atrocities in any universe.

But this being Abby, she just can't watch something like the Boston Tea Party. She has to be in the middle of it. 

"This is so cool," Abby gushed, hopping up and down on the balls of her feet to try to catch a better glimpse of the goings-on. Around them, a few people stopped to stare at the colloquialism, then frown and attempt with varying degrees of subtlety to draw back as if in order not to be tainted by association.

You'll have to read the story to learn what happens. :)
