Synopsis

The walls of Brightside no longer contain the danger, and freedom forces the surviving telepaths into a conflict far larger than the prison town they escaped.Escape was supposed to mean freedom. Instead it's a death sentence. The survivors of Brightside have made it past the boundaries of the telepath prison town, but the outside world has been taught to fear them, and the people who built Brightside won't let them simply disappear.Every use of their abilities can give away their location. Every new alliance might be a betrayal. Every attempt to build a life forces them to face what captivity did to them, and what fighting back will cost next.Darker and broader than the first novel, this concluding book follows the survivors into a world where leaving the prison doesn't mean the prison has let them go.Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Black Mirror, and psychological science-fiction thrillers.Read Brightside first. Then find out what waits beyond it. Book 2 of the Brightside Saga.

About Mark Tullius

"If you want to get to know me and my writing, come check out my podcast Vicious Whispers. I’m an open book and have no issues being vulnerable, looking at my mental health and other struggles. As a reward for making it through my babbling, I share my short horror stories, chapters from science fiction and suspense novels, as well as excerpts from nonfiction at the end of each episode.

My writing covers a wide range, with fiction being my favorite to create, a dozen or so titles under my belt. There are 4 titles in my YA interactive Try Not to Die series and 16 more in the works. I also have two nonfiction titles, both inspired by a reckless lifestyle, playing Ivy League football, and battering the hell out of my brain as an unsuccessful MMA fighter and boxer. Unlocking the Cage is the largest sociological study of MMA fighters to date and TBI or CTE aims to spread awareness and hope to others that suffer with traumatic brain injury symptoms.

I live in sunny California with my wife, two kids, three cats, and one demon. Derek, he pops in whenever he’s tired of hell and wants to smoke weed. He makes special appearance on my podcast, social media, and special Facebook reader group Dark and Disturbing Fear-Filled Fiction.

You can also get your first set of free stories by signing up to my newsletter. This letter is only for the brave, or at least those brave enough to deal with bad dad jokes, a crude sense of humor, and loads and loads of death.

Derek and I would love to have you join us!

Goodreads review by ☘Misericordia☘ on December 26, 2020

Q: ... Brightside ... a beautiful prison for telepaths, a power so great it made our lives worthless. (c) Frankly, the half-assed plan from the book #1, becomes even more half-assed by the #2. And the Kill Bill style (they even refer to it in the text) didn't do much for it other than feel messt. Poor......more

I am fairly new to Brightside. I first visited with the audiobook "Try Not to Die in Brightside", a short story in the Choose Your Own Adventure style. That story focused on an escape from the town of Brightside, a small California town where people who can read minds are basically held prisoner. We......more

“That’s it?” That was what popped on my head as the last word on the audiobook faded. It is true it said on the book description that it’s a dark story but I read other ‘dark’ series or books where the main character I was rooting for from book one died - The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan is an ex......more
