Brainwave Linda R Timms

You think you know who to trust? You're wrong.... LUCY is approaching thirty, alone and bullied at work. Ashamed to admit she has let herself become a mere shadow of her younger self, she feels a small glimmer of hope when she stumbles across an advert for Brainwaves, a seemingly innocent self-help audio program to boost self-esteem and confidence. Signing up is free, and after a few wines, seems like the best idea she has had in a long while. Lucy's application profile triggers more than the audio program download. Unwittingly becoming part of a small group of similar disillusioned single Londoners, Lucy is now also part of an illegal human experiment involving brainwave manipulation. She is oblivious to the constant surveillance, both at home and work. DAN assesses and approves the candidates for the experiment, more than happy to reap the growing bonuses as the test data flows in. Enjoying the finer things in life, Dan ignores the ethical concerns his line of work brings. Until his candidates start acting out of character. As errors come to light in the experimental program, questions start to be asked internally. Dan's lazy protegee has taken one too many shortcuts, bringing unwanted attention from the press and the police. With his obsession over Lucy growing, so does Dan's concern that she too will be headed for disaster if he doesn't take some drastic measure. Can he keep Lucy alive and escape from the game of life, death and deceit - with an international network of players and no clear way of winning..... Charon Enterprises is not willing to leave loose ends.
