Gripping New Thriller by Michael Vorhis, Author of 5-Star Mystery/Suspense Novel ARCHANGEL

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 2, 2013 - After two years of stellar worldwide acceptance for his debut suspense novel ARCHANGEL, including an announcement last year by prominent Hollywood production company Max Freedman Media, MFM (www.maxfmedia.com), that the fiction novel would be produced as a feature film, author Michael Vorhis is nearing release of his next major work. Principals at FreeFlight Publishing will launch tense thriller "OPEN DISTANCE" later this month.

Based loosely on a popular short story Vorhis published in 1996, the new novel OPEN DISTANCE unveils an intrepid world of high profile, high risk international rivalry.  "The plot of OPEN DISTANCE presents a ground-breaking concept around which the story wraps," says Vorhis. "It's a tense, emotion-packed thriller, but it's really about the powerful, even destructive human relationships that drive its events."

The FreeFlight Publishing press office added, "This is a taut, edge-of-the-seat thriller in the true sense of the phrase. It's different from his first work, but every bit as impressive. And yes, there's an element of romance--it serves as a catalyst for sentiment and decision, and its effect on the story is powerful. Despite the vivid, perilous events, the heart and soul of OPEN DISTANCE is still heart, and soul."

OPEN DISTANCE will be available to readers in eBook form in late March 2013, and will hit shelves worldwide as a paperback soon after.

FreeFlight points out that Vorhis' first novel ARCHANGEL has consistently drawn top drawer reviews. Noted author and publisher Emily Hill of A.V.Harrison Publishing wrote, "Vorhis more than holds his own. He has style...the presence, and skill, to stir in the most three dimensional characters any debut novelist has a right to claim."  Author Robert DeCoteau called it, "The Great American Novel. A class five hurricane...sheer storytelling genius...takes fiction from good to great." UK author J.O.Royston said, "The high level of descriptive writing [made] me feel like I was right there." Readers report of a superlative narrative style and their inability to put the novel down.

OPEN DISTANCE is the long-awaited encore act.
