About this ebook

A team of neuroscientists uncovers amazing new capabilities in the brain that may steer human evolution toward miraculous and deadly frontiers in this spectacular debut work of speculative science fiction—Limitless meets James Rollins—that combines spirituality and science in an inventive, mind-blowing fashion

For decades, scientists have speculated about the untapped potential of the human brain. Now neuroscientist Chuck Brenton has made an astonishing breakthrough. He has discovered the key—the crucial combination of practice and conditioning—to access the incredible power dormant in ninety percent of our brains. Applying his methods to test subjects, he has stimulated abilities that elevate brain function to seemingly “godlike” levels.

These extraordinary abilities can transform the world, replacing fear and suffering with tranquility and stability. But in an age of increasing militarization, corporate exploitation, and explosive technological discovery, a group of influential power brokers is determined to control these new superbeings for its own manipulative ends—and its motives may be far from peaceful.

Ratings and reviews

It's a series/film script, disguised as a book. Just enough character is given for a rough but adequate outline of the protagonists with any emotional investment needed; as if they're counting on actors and directors to fill in those missing pieces. Story ends abruptly without acknowledging that a sequel is in the offing which is annoying.. If turned into a Netflix series, i WILL watch, however :)

This book held my interest more and more with each page!

Quick ending, presumably for a sequel?
