Publisher's Synopsis
In the blistering heat of an Arizona psychiatric hospital, a routine session spirals into chaos when a cunning patient turns on his psychiatrist, unleashing a savage attack that leaves her bloodied and shaken. Her husband, a battle-hardened drone pilot stationed at a remote airbase, is thrust into a nightmare when he learns of the assault-a horror compounded by her mysterious drowning soon after. Driven by grief and a gnawing suspicion that her death was no accident, he embarks on a relentless quest for answers, peeling back layers of a chilling conspiracy that binds the military, medicine, and madness.
What begins as a personal investigation unravels into a terrifying discovery: a covert program that transforms soldiers into obedient assassins, their minds hijacked by implants triggered with a single command. As he sifts through cryptic audio files and faces shadowy operatives, the pilot uncovers a truth that shatters his world-he himself may be one of the program's puppets, his hands stained with the blood of the woman he loved. With enemies closing in from desert hideouts to corporate towers, he races against time and his own fractured psyche to dismantle the operation. Every step fuels a volatile mix of vengeance and redemption, leading to a high-stakes showdown where justice rains from the sky-but at a cost that blurs the line between hero and monster.
This is a pulse-pounding tale of betrayal, mind control, and the fight to reclaim a stolen soul, set against a backdrop of arid wastelands and high-tech warfare. It's a journey where trust is a weapon, memory is a battlefield, and the price of truth might just be everything.
