About the book:
Reese Clawson’s
work is mind-bending—literally. Her company specializes in global data analysis
for an elite group of industry executives, and now a lucrative government
contract is moving her into the realm of cutting-edge intelligence gathering.
She is determined to crack the limits of consciousness—and in doing so, the
boundaries of secrets and lies. But her experiment crashes as test subjects
slide into a coma-like state. Reese is left scrambling to maintain control,
drawing three disparate people into the search for answers – an adrenaline-amped
thrill junkie with altered brain chemistry, an Italian scientist working on
remote-viewing technology, and a math prodigy whose algorithms subvert computer
encryption.
Will this
piecemeal team prevail when a government operative is sent to investigate? As
the threads of perception and reality become tangled and even time itself
twists in unexpected directions, one warning remains clear: what you don’t know
can kill you.
With a concept so
daring and writing so gripping, readers will swiftly fall under the spell of
Thomas Locke’s endlessly creative mind. This thrilling psychological journey
into the very nature of causation and consciousness will leave them turning the
pages and grasping for solid ground.
My review:
This is a mind
boggling intense thriller!
I want to start
by saying that there is a large cast of characters to keep straight. It amazed
me how many different personality types there are. It helped to keep in mind
that there were two different teams of people, along with some solitary people.
At the beginning
of the book the two groups seemed to be involved in two separate stories. As
the book progressed they started to intertwine with each other and the adrenaline
rush thriller really kicked in.
There were some
aspects that seemed to be more of a far-fetched science fiction story than
anything else. It was an incredible ride trying to follow everything, figure
out who the good guys were, and survive the final climatic confrontation.
