Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy high-concept thrillers where the science feels plausible and the stakes escalate quickly.
  • You're drawn to stories about unintended consequences, where an experiment meant to help becomes a weapon in the wrong hands.
  • You like protagonists who are ordinary people thrust into extraordinary danger, racing against the clock to stop something they didn't create.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer character-driven literary fiction over plot-driven action; this one moves fast and doesn't linger on introspection.
  • You're uncomfortable with stories featuring escaped convicts as protagonists, even if they're the antagonists here.
  • You want deep exploration of bioethics and moral philosophy rather than a straightforward chase thriller.

About this book

Game Plan is a thriller centered on an experiment to enhance human intelligence through technology. A computer chip small enough to fit on a pencil tip can be implanted in the brain to provide encyclopedic knowledge, rapid reflexes, and improved learning abilities. At a remote military hospital in Montana, researchers implant the chip into five volunteers—four men and one woman—all serving life sentences in prison. The experiment succeeds, but the five subjects escape. A young doctor becomes entangled in the situation when his medical school mentor is murdered under mysterious circumstances. The doctor must confront the five escaped prisoners, who now possess enhanced abilities and seek absolute control.
