What if the military could literally read the minds of the people, and see your thoughts on a screen?
Fort Benning, Georgia: a Major General of the US Army opens fire on his own recruits, killing dozens before turning the gun on himself. USS Carl Vinson, Persian Gulf: a veteran fighter pilot opens fire on his own aircraft carrier before diving his F-18 Hornet into the deck.
Ethan Warner and Nicola Lopez of the Defense Intelligence Agency are called in to investigate the horrific events, and within hours uncover startling evidence that the veteran servicemen were not guilty of their crimes - for they were not in control of their own minds. Delving deeper, they discover evidence that both were victims of brain control so powerful they were driven to kill their comrades before taking their own lives to hide the evidence. The enemy has a new weapon: the ability to see our thoughts and dreams, and to control our minds from afar.
Ethan and Nicola are dispatched to track down the surgeons responsible for infiltrating human minds, and expose a horrendous new mission by militant terrorists hell-bent on bringing the United States to its knees. From Berlin to Basra, to the vicious killing fields of Somalia and the dangerous streets of the homicide capital of the world, Washington DC, Ethan and Nicola finds themselves on the trail of killers who have committed no crime and yet have the capacity to murder millions. Worse, nobody knows who will turn on their comrades next...
REVIEW
Praise for Dean Crawford:
"The fossilized remains of a 7,000-year-old creature dug from the sands of the Negev Desert in Israel become the bones of contention in Dean Crawford's fast-paced debut thriller... The book neatly threads together a wild variety of plotlines." -Wall Street Journal
"... cleverly introduced premise... assured pacing and plotting... " - Publishers Weekly
"The action is frenetic, in the vein of Matthew Reilly's Scarecrow series. Crawford is an able storyteller who smoothly orchestrates the plot's twists and turns... " - Kirkus Reviews
"... brilliant high-concept, high-octane thriller... ." - The Guardian
"A fast-paced and entertaining yarn." - Melbourne Age
"Partly mythical read, part thriller this pacy tale is a page turner guaranteed to keep you up late." - The Sun
"Get the cameras rolling - Indiana Jones meets Alien. What a combination of mystery, suspense, and unspeakable horror. I loved it!" - R.L. Stine
"This is an amazingly good, intelligently told novel by an exciting new British author." - Eurocrime
"Earth-shattering intrigue, hyperdrive action and a desperate race to save humanity, cranked up to the max with scarily realistic science and apocalyptic religion thrown in for good measure . . . a major new talent has hit the mystery thriller scene!" - Scott Mariani
