Peril – A Novel

Dr. Thomas Reeves is at the pinnacle of his career. The Department of Defense has awarded him a lucrative contract for his new research into superior autobiographical memory, which promises the ability to create combat troops able to quickly learn complex battle plans and enact them perfectly under the most demanding battlefield scenarios. An elite unit has received neural grafts from genetically modified brain cells and the results are remarkable - until the recipients begin suffering hallucinations, nightmares, paralysis...and death. When Dr. Reeves's daughter is taken hostage the clock begins to tick and if he can't answer for the deaths within twenty-four hours, more innocent people will be killed.
