Somnus-X

By Scott P. Hicks

Paralyzed, voiceless, and trapped inside his own body, Evan Cole has only one chance to fight back.

When Evan awakens to find himself confined within a hospital bed, unable to move or speak, he is treated like a ghost, a mere prototype for a sinister project called Somnus-X. His memories are fragmented, his body a cage, and a ticking clock threatens a surgery that may overwrite his consciousness forever.

But Evan refuses to surrender.

Inside the ICU, Evan learns to communicate in the only way he can by manipulating his heartbeat and tears, sending coded signals beneath the ever-watchful eyes of hospital cameras.

- A dangerous secret data card hidden beneath his gown offers hope or death.
- A mysterious ally named Marcus risks everything to help Evan send a desperate message.
- Ruthless corporate forces plan to erase Evan's mind and silence the truth.
- Evan's heart becomes his weapon in a deadly race against time.

Somnus-X is a heart-pounding, mind-bending thriller that explores the terrifying boundaries between technology and identity, control and freedom. Scott P. Hicks weaves a gripping story of resilience, betrayal, and the indomitable human will.
