A high-concept techno-thriller featuring neural implants, mind control, and weaponised neuroscience.
What if someone could turn your mind into a weapon?
When President Barack Obama announced the launch of the BRAIN Initiative, it was hailed as America’s next moonshot—a bold effort to cure disease and unlock the full potential of the brain. But within the national security community, concern quickly followed as reports emerged of memory editing, altered moral judgement, and the possibility of hacking the human mind.
CIA intelligence officer and neuroscientist Dr Ava Kelvin begins to notice a pattern in a series of brutal murders. The killers have no motive, no history of violence, and no memory of what they’ve done.
As Ava digs deeper, she uncovers a terrifying truth: these aren’t ordinary crimes. Someone is creating killers, rewriting minds, and controlling them without their knowledge. And if she’s right, no one is safe—not even inside their own head.
Sigma Wave is Book 1 in the Brainstorm series, a suspense thriller perfect for readers who love Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, and high-concept science-driven fiction.
