Trial Run by Thomas Locke Book Review and Blog Tour





About

"Somewhere between spectacular and astonishingly compelling. After I finished, I could not let it go."--Phyllis Tickle, former senior editor, Publishers Weekly

Cutting-edge research requiring controversial experiments. Startling dreams delivering cryptic communication from the dreamer's future self. Ruthless rivals determined to control mind-bending new technology. When you're balancing on the edge of what's possible, trouble awaits, ready to push you into the abyss.

This daring psychological journey into the very nature of causation and consciousness will leave you turning the pages and grasping for solid ground--especially when it becomes clear just how much fact lies within the fiction.

"Truly remarkable. Extremely vivid and very well crafted. A wonderful read."--Keith Hazard, Acting Deputy Director (ret), Central Intelligence Agency


Dr. Gabriella Speciale has assembled an international team of elite scientists with one goal in mind--to create and control out-of-body experiences that transcend the limits of time and space. Reese Clawson's mind-bending experiments aim to explode the boundaries of human consciousness--and annihilate the opposition in the process.

When a terrifying discovery and a string of failed tests threaten to dismantle both programs, the key to survival may reside in the mind of a gifted grad student whose unsettling dreams have thrust him into the center of a dangerous battle for control.

As the threads of perception and reality become tangled and time itself twists in unexpected directions, one warning remains clear: what you don't know can kill you.

Endorsements

"A truly remarkable work. The interweaving of three stories is faultless, the tension explosive. The story involving the intelligence community and military is extremely vivid and very well crafted. A wonderful read."
Keith Hazard, deputy director, Central Intelligence Agency
"I was not prepared for this. It's somewhere between spectacular and astonishingly compelling. The concept itself is so daring that one can't quite anticipate in any cautionary way what is coming. Bunn's writing has never been stronger. The power of his style--especially in the presentation of situations, contexts, and geography--is enough, more or less in and of itself, to make the book a gripping and intense experience. It's the daring of the plot and the fact that it works that astounds me most, however. Ultimately the acid test is that after I finished, I could not let it go. My head is still full of it; and that is a very, very good sign."
Phyllis Tickle, senior contributing editor, Publishers Weekly
"What a thrilling ride. I was gripped from page one. This has bestseller written all over it."
Charles Nettleton, director, Working Titles UK

Where to Purchase


My Review
"Trial Run" is the kind of book that makes you ask yourself questions are makes you too scared to ask any questions at all. It is a thriller and is very though provoking to the reader. Two experiments a re taking place. One is by Dr. Gabriella Speciale who has gotten other scientists to help her try to not only control out-of-body events but to make them happen at will. Reese Clawson is conducting experiments that are mind-bending. Then something goes wrong. Is there anyone who can help? I give this boo a 4/5. Revell Publishing provided this book for a review and these are all my opinions.
