The Genius DilemmaIng Trillium creates cold blooded psychopaths The first casualty is CIA operative David Landry who snaps hours after taking the drug When he goes rogue it’s up to Special Forces along with renowned neuroscientist Alan Pierce and psychiatrist Michelle Emmett to stop them Armed with a hastily concocted antidote the team hunts Landry His destination Africa Nasir Lwazi the Kenyan president has recently been murdered Believing Lwazi’s son Thomas is a threat to national security Landry is on a ruthless mission to destroy him and he doesn’t plan to let anyone get in his way Alan and the Special Forces team are determ So I just read a self published novel by someone I never heard of before And I don't regret itRichard Powell CEO of pharma startup Cerebrical has developed what may be a breakthrough smart drug able to transform the merely intelligent into true geniuses Colonel David Landry and his boss General Beranger want super smart soldiers for their elite Leviathan unit which aims to assassinate threats to world peace before they become threats to world peace Alan Pierce brilliant neuroscientist wants a cure for Alzheimer's Disease to save his mother Thomas Amani who has just learned that the recently assassinated President Lwazi of Kenya was his father wants to return to Kenya and try to defuse the tension between the Kambezi and the Berani The Berani want revenge on the Kambezi because despite ample evidence that the Americans did it they believe the Kambezi must be behind the assassinationDavid Landry's most recent successful mission was killing Lwazi to prevent him from launching a genocide against the Kambezi Landry of course does not see himself as part of the problemAll these driven individuals of course intersect as both Pierce and Landry see Powell's new drug Trillium as the potential answer to their different uests What Powell doesn't mention is that the side effects of Trillium are rather nasty; its artificial geniuses also become artificial psychopathsMuch of the action in the book flows from the conflict between those who see this as a problem and those who think it's an advantage The characterization isn't especially deep but Pierce is a likable and to some degree admirable character and the pacing is fast and engaging I read this 500 page book in less than three days There are a bunch of small complaints I could make but really they don't matter You may notice but if you're in the mood for a fast paced thriller you won't care You'll keep turning the pages to see what happens nextRecommended as a great beach readI received a free copy of this book from the author
