Lonnie Busch’s latest sci-fi thriller takes us on a gripping journey that begins with a shocking U.S. Navy experiment in 1943. Sailors are horrifically killed or maimed, but Peter Smithwick, who possesses extraordinary healing abilities, miraculously survives. Rescued by a clandestine group of “associates,” Peter’s story sets the stage for a thrilling tale that spans decades. Fast forward to 2024, where Geoffrey Cannon’s life spirals into chaos as those around him start dying under mysterious circumstances. Convinced that the murderous spree is somehow linked to him, Geoffrey embarks on a desperate quest to uncover the truth, delving deep into his past and the shadows of his mind.
Busch masterfully intertwines past and present in an intense, fast-paced narrative that keeps readers hooked from start to finish. The story plunges us into Geoffrey’s world, where his altruistic efforts to help others through his healing powers and self-help seminars are shattered by a wave of inexplicable violence. We share in his agony and bewilderment as he grapples with the deadly events surrounding him. The supporting characters add depth and dimension to the story. The enigmatic Edward, along with Geoffrey’s newfound allies Orvin and Colette, are skillfully portrayed and play crucial roles in his battle against the unfolding terror. Balancing on the edge of horror, this novel offers a rich blend of science fiction, action, mystery, and a touch of romance. With its dynamic plotline that spans decades of deception and intrigue, this sci-fi thriller is guaranteed to captivate and fully engage its readers.
