After uncovering a universal code in the brain waves of all
living things that could revolutionize psychology, Martin Keller wakes one
morning to find himself covered in blood, surrounded by his butchered family.
Convinced he’s being framed by a diabolical organization set on stealing or
sabotaging his work, he dodges a multi-agency manhunt that pursues him from the
seediest corners of DC to the highest offices of government. Struggling to stay
alive and find his family’s killer, Marty soon finds himself lost in a maze of
conspiracies and paranoia, and eventually begins to doubt his own sanity. How
can he find the truth when he doesn’t know what’s real?
This is a nicely done thriller that will keep most
readers turning the pages to see just what happens next!
As with any thriller, the challenge is achieving the
right pacing. That’s all it really comes down to. If it’s too slow, then the
tension is completely lost, and if it’s too fast then there’s not enough time
to build the tension up, so I was happy to see the author achieve a consistent
pacing that told the story at its best.
This is the kind of story that I really enjoy, the
kind that spreads clues around the book and kind of wants to make you read it
again just to catch all the little things here and there. I do wish some of the
characters had been a bit more fleshed out, which is always something I gripe
about with thrillers, but I do recommend this book to everyone who loves a
fast-paced, nail-biting story.
