Synopsis

2019 B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree2018 Wishing Shelf Book Awards FinalistWhen you talk to yourself, there’s only one voice. When you picture something, there’s but a single mind’s eye.Recently graduated psychologist, Dr. Sam “Doc” Price and his inexperienced team had always held those principles to be true…at least, under normal circumstances. But as they studied the work of Dr. Ned Worthington, a brilliant but troubled neuroscientist, they began to wonder if he had created an electronic world that was anything but normal. He claimed it could rewire the brain, repurpose sections of it for new uses. And the man who had used it was capable of remarkable feats.But as their awe of what might be possible grew, so did their unease about what was implied.

And when Doc and his team finally secured the evidence they sought, only one question remained. Now that they knew, could they survive the truth?
