When Roland Doyle wakes up in an unfamiliar motel room with a strange man’s wallet in his pocket and a woman’s dead body in the bathroom, he fears the worst…and that’s before he finds the vial of pills labeled "take one every 4 hrs or else." Or else what? Ten years ago, Dr. Sebastian Briggs’s clinical drug trial for a cutting-edge fear-response drug went horribly wrong — or did it? It’s true that one trial participant died and five others were left with no memory of what happened to them. But now several interested parties, including a major pharmaceutical company and an ambitious U.S. senator, are willing to back Briggs’s continued research. All he has to do is recall his five surviving "volunteers," whose addiction to a mysterious drug has left them largely at his disposal. They will do anything necessary to keep the pills coming and to stave off the creeping phobias, intense sexual impulses, and all-consuming madness that lurk on the edges of their minds. It’s easy enough for the good doctor to lure the survivors back to the remote Monkey House, where the original trials took place. But when the pills finally run out…that’s when the real show begins.

Buchrezensionen laden vielfach zu Zusammenfassungen des Inhalts ein, darauf möchte ich, um das Lesevergnügen anderer nicht zu schmälern, verzichten. Für mich persönlich reichts als Lückenfüller, besondere Spannung kam leider bei mir nicht auf.

Nicholson Strikes Again
29. März 2011
Von Neal Hock "bookhound78"
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
In his latest offering, author Scott Nicholson yet again moves into new territory by creating a story full of action, mystery, thrills, and paranoia. Focused on a group of people who volunteered for an experimental-drug trial ten years ago, this story will have you flipping the pages to keep up with the fast-paced action all the way until the end. As the memories of the past come back with ever-increasing intensity, the survivors try harder to forget. This story had me looking over my shoulder at times. Don't miss out on this treat from Nicholson.

Comic Book That's Missing the Artwork
12. März 2012
Von Timothy J. Mccarthy
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Start with a group of the usual conservative suspects - the politician, the fundamentalist, the drug rep - and have them trying to market a dangerous drug without a lot of messy FDA oversight. Of course, they have no morals, so their mad scientist and his trusty psychopathic hired gun are free to use and abuse a group of test subjects.
The characters were all rolled out of central casting, then pumped up into obscene caricatures that are so over-the-top as to be laughable. On a believability scale, they're right up there with the Penguin and Joker from the old DC comics. You also have silly things popping up, like a Secret Service agent acting as limo driver for a Senator.
To make things worse, we spend most of the book stuck firmly in the minds of the subjects while they're dosed up on drugs, wading with them through a sewer of strange and abusive behaviour. It gets repetitive, and goes past annoying well into obnoxious.
Had this been done tongue-in-cheek, it could have been a wickedly hilarious send-up. Sort of a "Dr. Strangelove Does Big Pharma". But there's not a speck of wit or humour; it's all deadly serious, a dire warning written as a shocking exposé. If you are addicted to conspiracy theory books, and don't mind the amateur writing, you can give this a try. Otherwise, avoid at all costs.

Amazing Versatility in this new Nicholson offering...
1. April 2011
Von Sunluvr
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Scott Nicholson could never be accused of cookie cutter stories but he's really gone in a different direction with this thrilling story about scientific research going on at Research Triangle Park. The only similarity to his previous books is sticking to his familiar territory of the mountains of North Carolina. I was hooked on this book from page one and couldn't put it down until the end. After reading this I don't think I will ever be volunteering for a drug trial!
