BRAINSTORM--a Thriller Novel

Do You Know Who You Really Are?
 
BRAINSTORM: What if a small American town is secretly replicated, populated with kidnapped scientists and psychically talented civilians, and then used as a proving ground while training psychic assassins? Political and military leaders of the Free World are the targets of these psychic warriors, and Project Brainstorm's goal is world domination.
 
New York Times Bestselling authors agree: --James Rollins, NY Times bestselling author of the action thrillers Map of Bones, Black Order, The Doomsday Key and many more, says: "Gordon A. Kessler's BRAINSTORM is a wild ride into the reality of human consciousness, forcing us to question who we are and our place in the universe. It's also a kick-ass adventure story that will have you thrumming through the pages well into the night. Its blend of topical research, cutting-edge weaponry, and current political tension is handled with stunning effect."

--Douglas Preston, NY Times bestselling author of the thrillers Relic, The Codex, Book of the Dead and many more, says: "BRAINSTORM is as exciting and fast-paced as a thrill ride on a dive bomber, a maelstrom of action, violence, murder and mayhem, way too much fun to put down once you're hooked. It is also frighteningly believable, based on an actual black CIA program known as 'Project Stargate.' Kessler is a former US Marine parachutist, recon scout, and 'Super Squad' team leader--and he really knows his stuff. An outstanding novel."
* * *
Gold Rush seems to be just another sleepy little Colorado community full of friendly, caring citizens, quaint cottages, and a sort of quiet peace, held gently by the picturesque mountains that surround it. However, something isn't right in Gold Rush, and early on a Monday morning Robert Weller awakens with a cautioning and insuppressible voice inside his head. He soon finds a secret behind every door, a motive with every glance, and a lie beneath every spoken word.

After meeting a strange but beautiful woman named Sunny who insists they were once lovers, people begin dropping dead around him without apparent cause. The world he thought he knew twists upside down as paramilitary teams hunt him, and his own wife and the people he considers friends turn against him. Weller is thrown into the middle of a military mission to rescue thousands of the town's citizens from a plot to destroy the free world.

In time, Weller discovers he was once the CIA's top remote viewer, and it's not just the bad guys who will lose if he survives another day.

BRAINSTORM goes beyond the bounds of ordinary reason. It blends the past (the CIA's "Project Stargate," a twenty-year exploration into remote viewing and psychic powers as background) with the present (incredible new developments in nonlethal weapons such as acoustic cannons, sticky foam, anti-traction substances, electromagnetic pulse devices, and infrared lasers). And it throws in a very sobering reminder; that there are still thousands of American MIAs from the Korean and Vietnam Wars. 


If you enjoy best-selling action/adventure thriller authors like Don Winslow and Clive Cussler, as well as some of the best thrillers in eBooks by indie authors like John Locke and JA Konrath, you'll love Brainstorm!

5,0 su 5 stelle His Look Could Kill
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 febbraio 2015
Acquisto verificato
Definitely a five-star novel, BRAINSTORM is contemporary science fiction...I hope. If a gifted operative with some medical adjustments can kill you with his thoughts, how safe would anyone be? This ideal assassin is the goal of a highly secret project which has the novel's hero in its grasp. While trying to figure out what is happening around him, he is being manipulated by the project director and hunted by those who wish to extract him. Then, too, there is a woman who claims they were lovers, or more than lovers.

Fast-paced, thoughtful, and very satisfying, it was well worth reading, and I will likely read another Gordon Kessler novel..

4,0 su 5 stelle Interesting concept
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 maggio 2013
Acquisto verificato
UPDATE: I've increased my rating for two reasons: (1) the author's gracious and clarifying comment has explained a lot for me (including factual bases for some of the things I found troubling); and (2) seen from a different perspective than the one I had, I think the story could be more enjoyable. You should read the comment if you read my review. Mr. Kessler, I thank you for the comment and you've made a fan out of me with your humility and your sincerity about wanting readers to really enjoy your book. I'll be reading more from you.

Initially, I was really enjoying the book. It was a fascinating premise -- based on remote viewing (which I've always found to be intriguing) -- but certain things bothered me, particularly around the second half or last third. By then, I was just hoping to be done soon.

One thing that bothered me was how non-Americans were presented and treated by the characters. There is a character named Rajiv Shekhar. That is a traditional Hindu name and Hindus in Southeast Asia (the area from which Rajiv's accent originated) are usually from India. But Rajiv was from Pakistan -- a Muslim country which has a long and sordid history with India. (It would be somewhat like an Israeli Jew living in Palestine.) Rajiv thought the main character was a "fakir" -- a Muslim concept. It just didn't match up. More troubling was how Rajiv, a prominent neurosurgeon and computer wiz, was essentially a caricature. Despite being in life and death situations, Rajiv would continue to happily talk about stupid, random things, often messing up the cultural references, and always referring to "the beautiful" main female character Sunny. On the other hand, Sunny couldn't be bothered to even learn his name. She just called him 'Raja' despite all the help Rajiv provided. I also found it offensive when the main character wanted Rajiv to step away (for Rajiv's own good). The way he conveys this: "Get!" -- as if he were talking to a stray cat. (It actually said the stray cat bit.) That is not a normal, natural way to speak to another human being. It seemed odd. What about, "Get outta here!" or "Leave now!" or just "Leave"? Moreover, any of those phrases would be more easily understood by an immigrant. The whole thing just seemed disrespectful.

There were also multiple references to "Orientals" even when the group of "Orientals" were all speaking Chinese. I think it's okay to be non-PC -- and it often makes a book more fun -- but this just seemed unnecessary to the story. It would have been as easy to say Chinese (which would be better because it is more specific) or Asians.

Story-wise, I was enthralled for quite a while, but then things got increasingly unbelieveable. I have a pretty healthy ability to suspend disbelief, but it was getting ridiculous because they kept getting out of impossible situations. [MINOR SPOILER ALERT] As a minor example, a dog was falling out of a helicopter, but two characters were simultaneously able to grab the dog's arm and leg, respectively. Talk about sharp, synchronized reflexes. By that time, I just wanted to be done with the book.

I wanted to like this book because the author's note in the beginning and end added a very nice personal touch. But too many things went awry for me.

Make sure you are comfortable with no pending deadlines and strap yourself in for a gripping, suspenseful roller coaster ride. The author launches you into the world of mind-power in the opening preface and doesn't let go of you until the last chapter and even then the door is left open for another Daniel McMaster adventure. Another absorbing touch is the tough as nails and intelligent Sunny who I hope is included somewhere in the forthcoming series. I will buy further books from Mr Kessler!

3,0 su 5 stelle Not a bad book, but not all that good either
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 gennaio 2013
Acquisto verificato
This is not a bad book, but I didn't find it to be a particularly good book either. Half way through I got bored and barely skimmed the rest to see if maybe something interesting might happen. Nothing did. I bought this book because I had read Dead Reckoning by this author and I liked it. This book is very different from that one.

At first I was taken aback by the sudden change from third person to first person when the scene shifted from the activities of the military guys to the activities of the protagonist. I got over that quickly, and the changes back and forth soon didn't bother me. Then I noticed the military guys weren't really getting anywhere and I got annoyed by their inability to accomplish their mission. Then the whole story line, or lines, began to get very confusing. I know this was probably intentional on the part of the author, but it caused me to gradually lose interest until at about half way through I simply didn't care any more. It had become more work than pleasure to read, and I didn't have any incentive to put in the work to read it any farther.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 agosto 2014

After growing up in the military, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that most of the things that occur in this story are possible.
Using psychic powers to control, manipulate, and assassinate others is a horrific but untraceable idea. Wouldn't you love to change the future? Or maybe change the past to correct something in your future?
I can't wait to read more books by this author.
